Hello,

Here's my 5th map. I know this one looks as if it is not as accurate as the others but I
used the same technique (map + ruler) and the only reason it doesn't look as accurate is
simply because of size restriction. Otherwise, this is the most accurate map I can make
with all the restrictions and tools available.

What is accurate is:
Mountains (US: Rocky mountains, UK: Alps, Greenland: highest point)
Properties
(I didn't put any river as they look really ugly when incorporated)

Both sides have 21 properties. Properties are located as follows:

US - Are representing the 21 wealthiest states (measured by GSP as of 2004) + DC
From West to East (North to South):
- Washington (airport... Boeing anyone... lol), California, Arizona, Texas, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Illinois, Tennessee, Mississipi, Michigan, Indiana, Georgia, Ohio, DC (HQ),
North Carolina, Florida, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Massachussets and New
Jersey/Maryland.

EU - Are representing the 23 member states (Malta and Cyprus were not incorporated)
From West to East (North to South):
- Ireland, Portugal, Spain, UK, France, Belgium/Luxembourg (HQ), Netherlands, Sweden,
Denmark, Germany, Italy, Poland, Czech Republic, Austria/Slovenia, Lithuania, Slovakia,
Hungary, Greece, Estonia, Latvia and Finland.

I did my best to balance it and even though it may look messy, it should play fairly well.

If I think it's way too crowded I may modify the map as a 12 v 12 properties (instead of
21 v 21). And I may also modify the map by making it a Eastern US vs a Western EU.
So... what do you think?

Not bad, but anyone who plays this should ban piperunners.
cduke (12/29/2005 06:28am):
yeah i have to agree with howdyhamster.
perhaps you could have solved it a other way. toaly empty with only grass and a pipe as
border (onlywealthest city's)
i think though that it is fairly balanced. (port on holland, good idee)
could use a few more woods in central europe.

good map 8/10
