Gnome wrote:good work,
few suggestions...
-on the small map there are names that aren't readable...(like Tymon, actually on the large map it's also to close to the mountains to read properly)
-The 'Uzbekistan' is a bit poorly placed...I was looking to that spot for some minutes before I realise that you couldn't attack Tajikistan from Turkmenistan because the name of Uzbekistan hides that border...
-all those things are details...I think you did a great job on this one

RobinJ wrote:Really good map here. Certainly on the verge of final forge. Everything is fine but there are a few things I would like to see:
1) I still don't think Moscow is noticeable enough. I think it would be better to make the whole territory a slightly different shade of orange as well, like rjbeals did for the Italy map, as the different colour of army circle.
2) I like the picture of Stalin at the top of the map. However, while I know the Soviet Union only took that name officially when Stalin came to power, a small picture of Lenin might also fit in well

Area: The Former USSR
Number of Continents: 8
Description: A nearly Classic-style map. Two notes, the territory Moscow gives a bonus of one and always starts neutral, and the Arctic Islands continent gives no bonus.
Current Discussion: Making the impassable mountains look better.

Well, I'm just gonna put it out here:
Some things to think about:
-Is the map too dark (my Canada map was, and I made this the same style)?
-Title? Not sure exactly how to arrange it.
-Do the rivers/mountains look good?
-Font? (not the territory names, the Russian-style stuff) Too much?
Besides that, just comment on anything, bonuses, gameplay, names, accuracy or graphics.
