I like that Thunder Bay is represented on another map...but if we are role playing, could you think about maybe changing it from "Thunder Bay" to "Lakehead"? The area was and still is known as the Lakehead (our university is named Lakehead University among many other things) In fact the city would have been named Lakehead if it wasn't for a fixed vote in 1970 when the two cities of Fort William and Port Arthur were forced to amalgamate. Just a thought...
Could be done since this map is in the future, why not!

Thank you!
-I'm not sure why people are having issues with Michigan isn't it the same way on the usa map
maybe over lap both parts with the army circle and this should solve it but merging it with WI
would work as well
Merged with WI
-Area 51 is this connected to Arizona?
Yes it is
-The mountains on NC near the GA border could be moved down a little so its clearly blocking
the border
Done
Gameplay
-I think your bonus might be a little high for some areas
have you used any of the bonus spread sheets as they are not perfect for every map it would
help give you a basic idea of what the values should be around
I have a spreadsheet and the bonuses are what the spreadsheet suggested except for the Republicans I added 1 for the fact that 1)Iowa being the capital, is connected to 4 territories, and 2) the Republican bonus is connected to 8 territories
Once again this Map is looking great you have done an excellent job keep it up
And once again Thank you!

I tend to look more at game play than graphics so a couple of questions on that.
1). I'm wondering if Canada should be split into East and West. As it is, its an Asia type of continent that will never get held or even attempted by most players. Splitting it into 2 conts (5 and 6 tert) will make it more of something that may be useful to someone.
For now I think it will stay that way unless a few more people would like it done that way. For right now I am also running out of color choices that are not close together for those that have some level of color blindness.
2) I know I don't talk graphics but I can't see the army circles in Freeman or in the WV/KY terts. I wonder how well the yellow colored armies will look in the Freeman area.
I changed the color of the Freemen bonus and put 88 in the army circles so everyone can tell me if it will work. As for WV and KY, ooooops, when I was dropping the opacity I missed a number so hence it ended up way too low
3). I wonder if there should be a connection between Cuba and the Aztlan Empire. It seems to me that Cuba is the place to start at the moment.
I was thinking that myself, and again I'll wait to see what others think of that idea!
4). I assume that the lakes are as impassable as the rivers except for the state of Michigan?
Upper Michigan and WI have now been merged
Other than these minor things this map looks like a lot of fun.
Well let's get this thing quenched (am I thinking too far in advance?
)
To oddball - All your suggestions are very good (where were you at the beginning?) Oh well, right now I could possibly change a couple of bonus names, but beyond that, I'm running out of contrasting colors
