The American Revolutionary War [vacation]

[bryguy]

what's the font in the legend? i love it.

It's called "bleeding Cowboy"

You should include Spain, they helped in the South quite a bit (they also had control of Florida).

On the map I use they didn't...Spain was in control of Louisiana

The only issue I have is that how are you going to fit army numbers in territories like New Jersey, Delaware, Connecticut and RI? They seem really small. Maybe you could merge New Jersey and Delaware, and merge Connecticut and RI. That might give you some extra wiggle room for army numbers

I don't know if I can keep it like this...maybe I will have to but I think the army circles fit...but names not

ooks a lot better, thanks for adding Rhode island. the only thing that i can see that is really off is that Pennsylvania is to small in the top left corner

you sure? when I look at this maps it seems that the borders are more straight than on my map but I don't think it's that bad...


Version 6.0
details:
-added army circles
-added names (correct me if I'm wrong)

Needs:
-Can some1 tell how I should call the territories of American England?
-Should I give boats a name or just a number?
-anything that bothers you

i think u should give boats numbers, like f1, f2, and e1, e2

oh and your right, i was just looking at pennsylvania wrong (i was looking at new york actually lol). and what do u mean by "can some1 tell me how i should call the territories of american england?" i dont get that. oh wait now i see it now, ill look into it

[bryguy]

ok, the little iladn off of nova scotia was called Prince Edward Island, and that spot that u can get to by nova, one ship, new foundland, and Edward Island was actually part of nova scotia, and that last spot (the one that u can get to by newfoundland and nova and massachusetts is actually part of the quebec province, which is part of france. So u might want to take that out, but ill let u know if i find a specific name for it

[bryguy]

i have look at a lot of old maps, and in none of them do they name it, so ill keep looking

[bryguy]

ok ive found one name, and i dont know if its like the name of a city or something in that area, but the name is Gafpefians

[bryguy]

on some maps they name where u have nova scotia as new brunwick, and just south of that nova scotia

i'd be happy to consider this for a move...but i want to hear from what Coleman has to say on it first.

[Coleman]

Some territories are still missing names, which is part of the laundry list of requirements. So no moving yet from my perspective.

This is what I use, derived from the sticky topic:

A. Some sort of clear plan of how production will go.

B. the map must have a working image (either of the small or large map). This working image must be beyond the ‘rough draft’ state. I.E. the working image can’t be a pencil/paper drawing or an MS paint image. To Elaborate:

* Include a working legend with speculative bonuses
* tentative border divisions
* names
* barriers
* colors and textures
* aesthetic images (I.E. compasses, picture designs, etc)
* background image (I.E. ocean or something to discriminate the playing field)
* A map should be ‘inherently unique either in game play, location, or style’ . Maps that aren't just the same tried and true formula from the Classic Map disguised will be more successful.
* Every effort should be made to acquire express written consent for a map based on Copyrighted works. In the event that no response is given by the Copyright holders, the map can still be made, but must consist of completely original artwork.

C. the map (or the post) must also include a few basic things for easy reference such as:

* number of countries currently on the map & number of continents
* descriptions of any unique features or areas
* the title of the map must indicate the page with the latest development of production (I.E. ‘Update – Pg 3, and please, no use of [brackets]: use (parentheses), --dashes--, or “quotes”)

D. the map must have some honest and interested discussion. If no one seems to support your idea or it lacks much appeal, it most likely won’t make it to the next stage.

At current at least three British American territory names are missing and all fleet names are missing. Once they have names we can move this.

Good work Coleman. Better than i did!

the french didnt own florida the british did. all the french owned in america at this point was haiti. I think you should change french americas name to british florida and change its background

[Gnome]

the french didnt own florida the british did. all the french owned in america at this point was haiti. I think you should change french americas name to british florida and change its background

But than why is france on this map...I'm sure france had to do something with this war

it did, it helped with defeating the british navy, and did a big part in taking back new york, but just leave that as it is, since u dont have spain in it.

Ever heard of the Louisiana Purchase? A big territory purchased by Thomas Jefferson from Napolean Bonaparte in 1802 or 1803 I think. Ans Spain DID have control of Florida.

[ps2civxr20]

florida was spanish but was given to britain as a result of the 7 years war (French indian war in the us) and was given back after the revolution because spain took part in it. Also louisiana was givin to spain by france because france got spain into the 7 years war but it was secretly given back to france during the nepolionic era. So we bought it.

ok now i know that aint right, spain didnt do anything in the revolution, didnt do anything in the french india war, and louisiana is kind of hard to give to spain from france if lousiana was controlled by england.

or we could all just look it up

ive already read it

[bryguy]

and there lies the problem, it says louisiana (new france) and that was part of the louisiana purchase, just west of the indian territories that gnome has on the map

[Coleman]

I'm not sure this debate is helpful. This is supposed to be revolutionary war map. The southern area is being referred to as French-America for convenience as a continent devision, not necessarily historical accuracy.
