I like the idea of an old west map...i had thought about trying one myself for awhile...

I just dont think that graphically this is the way to go about doing this idea...

I agree 100%... I had kicked around the idea of a US southwest map with real cities like Tombstone, Cimarron, Frisco, and Cripple Creek. This is kinda cool looking, but seems a bit limited in terms of gameplay and graphics possibilities.

I think it is a good idea. This is the classic of all classics in America. Who didn't play cowboys and indians as a kid? The map could be more graphical though.

I hate it when maps use little dots as territorys connected with lines. Try making an actual territory then post again

I agree with most of the people, it's a good idea, and the map layout is alright, but the acual map is pretty bad

Keep trying though! :D

Great idea, but the map sucks.
It needs a lot of improvement.

Also needs some horses.
The Wild West is nothing without horses.

I like the old west feel .... and instead of just dots try symbols - like a saloon door set-up for hte area saloon, etc. Like your railroads and appache camp.... also - can I travel from one rail road to the next?? Maybe have a central rail yard?

good start!

Thanks for the input. I really think this could be a cool map, certainly agree that it needs some work.
