The American Revolution (1775-1783) [idea]

Post by General Bedlam »

I was wondering if any one had thought of a map much like "The Civil War", but focused around the American Revolution in theme. Instead of Union and Confederate ships, you might have British and French ships, and even involve England as a home land to attack from like in "New World". Or perhaps a "Yorktown" map might even be interesting.

Its probably at least been thought of, but I don't think its been attempted.

Anyway, if you aren't planning on making this map, this suggestion should go in the "New Map Ideas: Post your map ideas here" thread that is an anouncment at the top of this forum. thats where all suggestions go.

Weird, I never would have though it would be such a difficult map. What was your strategy?

its difficult because peoples attempts are almost always thought to look close to the revolutionary war maps on other sites

I like the map too. The one thing that bothered me(knowing this is a draft) was at the top it says to unite America under one rule, and though the European powers are presented, there's no American ships or flags anything.

I'm sure though that sooner or later CC will have a Revolutionary war map.
