The classic map is horrid !!! Please could we have country's instead of cities and get rid of the wavy attack lines and go back to straight ones. I know it sounds condescending but why not use a classic risk board as you inspiration instead of changing everything you can for the sake of it. Put your new map with all the other variables and call it 'The messed up map' and I am sure some people will play on it and return the original

These things were not changed for the sake of change. They were changed to avoid copyright infringement on Hasbro's property. The gameplay is identical, having equivalent connections and bonuses.
This map is wonderful, really. But this is not exactly the classic World map. The connection Kamchatcka - Mongolia (in this case Magadan - Manila) is missing.
Is it intentional or mistaken? Let me know your point please
Well, this map was made to match the connections on the Classic Shapes/Classic Art maps, which were made to match the connections on the original map here on CC, which was the first one which might have been infringing. Does anyone know what that one looked like? Is this issue due to a variation in terms of what Hasbro and the earlier publishers of R*sk put on their maps over the years?

Because changing connections isn't a revamp, right? It would have to be an entirely new map that goes through the Beta stage, otherwise it would greatly affect in-progress games.
There is a really good question above... did this match classic shapes/art or did that totally get screwed up when we changed? You'd think it would have got caught then if it was a change.

In game 2 it was the actual Classic map. The problem arose when classic shapes and art happened.
Yea, I'm just providing log proof. I am surprised the log doesn't melt when that happens.
Well, if ORIGINAL Classic became Classic Shapes and this version of Classic came from Classic Art... then it all makes sense. That would mean Classic Art was just a new map and wasn't vetted properly (given how it came about, that's no surprise).
If ORIGINAL Classic became Classic Art, then you're right and I don't understand how it was missed.
