Alright, so this is my second attempt at making a world map where the Americas are on the
left side, instead of the right (largely to allow the U.S. and Japan to attack each other head
on). First of all, Japan and Indonesia (I think) have been moved down to give more room to
the U.S. and their pearl harbor and to fill in the empty space between africa and australia. I'm
not really sure if the mainland section of Europe/Asia is organized well or not. I don't know, I
think I may have used too many mountains or whatever.
This map is meant to be a 2 vs. 3 game, with Germany and Japan (GE and YC) against
Russia, Britain, and the U.S. (BM, RF, & GS).
If you've got any tips or suggestions, they would be much appreciated.

A vast improvement, but I think there are too many mountains still. Just try opening everything up more because
the mountains create a lot of chokepoints as is.
FiniteStrike (10/06/2006 10:19pm):
I've no objection to it, but Britain (I'm guessing the Red Fire island is Britain) seems a
bit larger in proportion to France and Spain I think..

I still like it though. 9/10!
Dr. Disco (10/07/2006 01:02am):
Yeah, I made britain way bigger than normal to give them a bigger starting area while
keeping them off the mainland for a while.

And I want to at least do something with the mountains, but should I just put plains instead or
what? And are the mountains a problem any where other than the area between germany
and russia or is there anywhere else I should concentrate on (because that was the only
area I was really unsatisfied with)?

africa looks really nice, but asia seems to big eh?
Robb Stark (10/22/2006 10:47am):
Very well done. Lots of fun to play on. I'm giving it a ten for now.
THE_Chosen_One (12/01/2006 02:42pm):
Where's Germany??? Isn't Germany the largest part of WW2?
Dr. Disco (12/05/2006 12:25am):
Germany is Green Earth, I moved it into India to make it easier to play on and more balanced.
sirfuxalot (12/09/2006 10:49pm):
There is way too many mountains. The map just isn't going to be fun in my opinion. You
need to reduce the bases and replace a lot of the mountains with plains.
Raldow (08/23/2007 03:40pm):
I would just be happy with just Europe involved. THAT'S a world war. Germany needs to be
the centre of attention. But get rid of a lot of mountains.
legor17 (02/05/2008 01:41am):
If GE and YC are played by skilled people, RF and BM don't stand a chance even if it's a 3v2.
Add a single shoal to Britain and free up one of BM's bases and it'll be harder for GE and YC
to dominate.

In the FFA that I played, I was playing GE with Sasha, and had no trouble dooming RF to a
loss by capturing his nearest continental base.

hello this is my first game

Hi. Map comments are the not the best place to say that this is your first game.
the-deadly-shadow (07/03/2014 08:15am):
Asia is not to large, europes mainland is just to small. An serious comment is
about BM. BM can only get infantery, So how should they fight GE and YC
copters? I would suggest to give them either a airport, or a port (to built landers
to transport). But probably you will not read this ever.

By the way, GE is not Germany but Iran
