I agree that the boroughs would be the most natural (and thematically interesting) continent divisions. I also think that NYC would be more interesting to have a map of than a country that almost no one here has had much exposure too, since I suspect that just about everyone on the site has at least seen a couple movies set there, if nothing else.

Maybe instead of territory names like North Bronx, Midtown, Central Park etc, all the territories could have cheesy gang names, like the Riverside Rangers, Harlem Knights, Bowery Butchers, etc., and there could be little graphics of train lines on the map or in the background like on the Africa map.

A little bit but I probably won't be able to do much work on it for a little bit, cause I have exams next week and I need to start studying....

I liked all the different bridges/tunnels in the original idea. I know next to nothing about NYC, but I imagine they lend authentic character to the map???

Waffles map was graphically much more appealing, and had more of a focus on Manhattan. Any New York map should try to make Manhattan very valuable, and in the original map it was one of the less important continents.

I would love a New York City Map, and a map based off of the King's picture would be best.

I believe that the Reverand's is a rough draft made off of that map, and that is the direction we should be heading.

I put that rough draft so that waffles would be inspired to finish.
