Hehe - well I'm gay AND English AND live in Brighton - on the south coast of Sussex - and everything seems fine to me!! Love you guys - and gonna start kicking some serious ass on ALL the maps....

bunnyboi: Mum, Dad I've got something to tell you...
Mum: Yes son?
bunnyboi: Well, it's difficult ...

Yeah I like Simonov's idea too.
Not sure how to squeeze in Capitals now, but I'll try.
I will get SWeko to help me out perhaps.

How come eastern part of macedonia is called Kriva Palanka? Because I tried looking up names by typing "regions in Macedonia" however I got nothing for eastern part ...

Ok, I made those two territories bigger,
I added more stuff
and I added a texture.

Here is what it looks like now.

Coleman, what do you mean by texture?
Do you mean something like putting a geographical surface on territories?

Simonov, I know Zagorje is part of Croatia. Read the whole debate. It's about playability reasons. I know you Croats don't like it, but live with it. Europe map has whole Yugoslavia ...

In other words,
what should I change on what is presented before you (and then we can add other stuff later on)?

Okay, I'm back on making it (I want to finish it)
Now, I am not very skillfull with design programs, nor do I know HTML, and I am not particularily good with new ideas, but my idea came a while ago (some of you may remember this map), and then it died as I didn't know what to do next. Well ...

Thanks Gavin.
That's gonna save me a couple of hours and I'll have real bridges instead of trees. Lol

Haha. i suck at drawing bridges.

Can you draw me a bridge and send it to me plz?

Well nothing is wrong with the map. I'll keep everything, I just needed to re-do the surface of it before I place items on the map.
So before I move onto placing things,
I wanna hear suggestions regarding the ...

I am doing the map all over again since I can't fix some suggestions without creating a whole new map. So it's going to take me a day or two.

However while I am doing this, can anyone please let me know how to put the army shadows????

I didn't read what everyone else said. I will do that later.

For now, the colour of Bonus territory called yaroslavsl matches the colour of Island Chain on the map.

While at the same time, Yaroslavl appears pink on the map while purple on the labels.

You know what I mean? You need to fix ...

Wasn't Poland divided between Soviet Union and Nazi Germany?

Also Yugoslavia was initially on British side, then it got conquered by Nazis, and then by Communists.

Greece had a fight between Communists in the north and British aligned in the south (democratic).

Norway was on British side ...

How do I put the army shadows? I don't know how big they need to be or what colour/radius/diamater????

Ok I will start XML tommorrow.

Hmmm when I designed the map I kept in mind that there needs to be room for numbers, so that shouldn't be a problem, though I don't know how big the space needs to be.

What about those gray circles, do they appear with the numbers during play or I have to put ...

I wanna get this map going as soon as possible, though I am not sure when it's gonna come up, cuz do I have to wait for a permission from a moderator or something to start XML or coding?????

-changed the bridges to FANCY (it took me half a day to draw a decent bridge)
-connected primorska and gorenjska
-bridged backa and srem
-resized the width of the Serbia flag, and realigned slovenia/srpska flag
-made dotted lines between southern dalmatia and Dubrovnik to show they are adjacent ...

For the rest of you, who have given me some thoughtful insights, here are the changes I've made:

-I put the fancy mountains (if you don't like 'em, I'll just keep the old version because you guys just seem split in personal preference, not technicality).
-I changed little flags so they look the ...

My first reply is as following:

Vujo is a Croatian nationalist/patriot, call it whatever you want. He complains that there is no KRAINA and that this map is a creation of Greater Serbia.
Greater Serbia is used more by Croats/Bosnians to demonize Serbs, rather than something of a fact. Serbs ...

Whoops, yeah I did change Macedonia to 1. I accidentaly used another copy of the map while I was modifying it. Also Bosnia is 4.

I am working on all the other things.

But I am confused what you mean by "make the words the same colour as the country's flag"
Which words are you refering to? IF ...

Hell, I'll do XML thing for him. I just wanna play this.

I mean, some maps which we can play right now (like Ireland for example) are not NEARILY as good as this one.
Where is the guy who signs and says 'yup it's ready to play?"

After more hard work, and thoughful comments, I made some changes and wallah:
-NEW style for countries bonuses
-lighter colour for the river
-tried to change shades for the continents (don't know if I suceeded since shades look all same to me)
-and some other minor touch-ups.

What do ya guys ...

You'd have to have a pretty good idea of regions, bonuses, and barriers before you get started.

Though everything is doable if you put enough efford in it. When I first played RISK, I never imagined UNITED STATES and CANADA could be on the risk map (due to fact that it's one large connected land ...

"Stop being such a pussy."

Thanks for the advice. I've always wanted to be an asshole, so I guess I'll change

Well actually never mind, you are right, even though I've played RISK hundreds of time in real life, teamgame is totaly new to me. I actually didn't even know I could give my ally my ...

Please, don't twist my words.
Did I say they weren't supposed to ally against me and my teammate? Oh my, I wonder what teamgames are for????

Proof? Do you have to have conclusive evidence maybe, because I am sure these forums were created because NOONE can produce such evidence,
I am here ...

Gavin, yes I forgot to tell you.... Bosnia is the English spelling of Bosna.

But I also named the territory 'Bosna', because there is a river there called "Bosna" (which is how the country got it's name when it used to be under Serbian rule thousands of years ago).

So I kept the country in ...

Check out game 55857

Me and my partner lost the game already in ROUND 1. Unbeleivable how well these two divided the continent, and made protection for each other, and won in just 3 turns (took 4 to eliminate the last country).
