revamps, revamps... I think competitions are great, but we can more creative than just doing revamps over and over again.
anyway, you left off North America, which would've been my top choice.

four of your choices shouldn't be on there
classic: people will never let this happen. changing circle opacity was bad enough. only way possible is if people have the option to choose which lack doesn't want to do for whatever reason (maybe it opens up too many unknowns?)
South America, Middle Earth, Extreme Global Warming, and SOUTH AMERICA all have fine graphics. nothing world obliterating but good enough for the current guidelines and there are much worse maps out there.
Africa would be my choice for the next competition

i was trying to give a lot of options South America least deserves to be on the list but i think Middle Earth could do with better clarity and Extreme Global Warming doesn't look great really could be better for such a good map gameplay wise

Middle Earth could do with some proper spelling. There's at least half a dozen naming errors on that map.

Or course a lot of these maps got through when the foundry process was just beginning and not as strict. By the way i don't intend this thread as an insult to any mapmaker on the list I recently drew a map on my computer and its tough to even reach poor graphics standerd when its held up next to some of the wonders that have been quenched recently i have resigned myself to months of tutorials

I'd say that Tamriel and N. America should be at the top of the list.
And someone mentioned Global Warming, I was planning to touch that up at some point (I'm the creator).

All of those except Extreme Global Warming and Middle Earth need a revamp. Middle Earth looks fine, but I think someone could make that map look really cool. Extreme Global Warming and South America should never get revamp.

North America.
It bugged me a lot when I was playing on that map that the tropics have two different colours.

Even though it is my favorite map, a Siege! revamp is needed. Not that it is as horrific as Brazil was when it got its revamp, but Siege! has far greater potential.

Siege and Malta are absolutely fine as is. I've always found ConquerMan visually unpleasing, but it's impossible to make it look good and keep the retro theme. There are many maps in much more need of a revamp than those three.

I just looked at Malta and it is perfectly fine. What are you talking about? ConquerMan Seriously needs an update, but how would you do it? Whatever you change detracts from the theme.

Well i get conquerman is based on GameGraphics/Retro. But it really hurt my eyes and must be other way makeing it Retro and not be so Dark, and hurtfull lol. So with a revamp people will give tons of suggestions how to fix that so im sure some1 would make it better.
Malta looks like brazil graphics. (not your brazil but the first). Its a good map and all but there its just something there i think its unpleasant..wellwell thats just me=)

The old Brazil is nowhere near the quality of the Malta map. Sure, it's not the prettiest map on CC, but at least it wasn't made in paint.

It is suposed to be an 8 bit retro game. It actually has better resolution that the actual game. I am sorry if you do not like it but it is designed to look this way, not due to lack of talent or error but due to purposeful design.
No revamp.
I think the revamps are getting a bit carried away with. I personally think we are nearing the end of them. With Brazil and Germany getting worked on, I really only think NA is left.

I know, I said that. Not trying to bash you. Your other maps are all amazing

I agree revamps need to be kept to a minimum. Some maps may need touch-ups, but really none but North America need a full-blown revamp...

I'd say Tamriel needs one as well. Does everyone just forget about that map, or am I in the minority here?
