thanks for your reply, you sayed some things that are discussed many times before and some things i didn't look at:
Once you asked me to comment, I would say the map looks very strange with the huge territories in the west and the crowded area in the east. Also the continents have too many borders. Purple, blue and orange areas have all their territories as border ones, and green and yellow have all but 1 territory as border ones. On other hand, the red area has just 2 borders in 6 territories... strange, huh? I could do an option changing the continents and its borders, but is it open to discussion?
you say the map looks strange because its crowded east and not west, there are some reasons for it:
1) more people do live at the sea, thats in nearly every country
2) in the west are mountains and thats why its very cold etc. and not easy to live so there does not live much people
those reasons is why it is not crowded there, it was even more crowded before, so i fused some terretorys together because of that
the borders etc. has been discussed before, and i think this gives a whole new gameplay, and i think i like it, it is also meant for 3 & 4 player games from the start (but now also 2 player). i know what you mean, it seems its impossible to hold a continent, but know what this makes a kind of a build up strategy, especially nice for no cards games
One way borders are something usually bad, so I think they should be avoided when unnecessary. And the one from Xizang to Xizang looks unnecessary, even why Kashmir can bombard E. Xizang. If you dont want a normal border there to avoid green area having all countries as borders, you could instead of use the one way remove the yunnan to Guangxi border, or you could place a route between Sichuan, and, lets say, Qinghai.
i think one way borders are good, if you don't have to many of them also for gameplay, just look to qwert's maps they have all good gameplay
the oneway border from xizang to xizang is because i wanted to add the mountains there that are there also normally (its some kind of a plateau (^sp)) why kashmir can bombard xizang is also for some reason, its know as a defence country so i thought why not make it a bombard country and to have a defence of the one way border (so the one way border isn't that big)
hmm you got an idea how to remove the yunnan-guanxi border? that seems ok to me
Some more things I dont understand, although they can be discussed already:
What is the south river doing? Separating territories of the same continent? (Xizang to Sichuan and Zhejiang to Jiangsu.) About playability, looks like that river is doing nothing.
Why is the title Greater China? Greater than what?
Is there a good reason about Kashmir having the label in a different colour?
Whats that thing over the chinese flag?
i would like you to thank for asking about the river i didn't look to that anymore so i will removing a few bridges
I had to add that part (Greater) because i did let Taiwan in my map wich is now a country of his own, and China + Taiwan is called Greater China
well there is a reason, its because gray was not readable or i had to move it to far away,
you mean that other flag? thats the flag of Taiwan
