I notice that there are more borders coming. And that is a method used in the Tenochtitlan map to centralize fighting, is to make the center a high bonus

Hammersmith is a terrible country, cant u just incorporate it with Ken.&Chel. and then split up hillingdon. I think maybe you should split up some of the bigger countries like Hillingdon, Bromely (that is huge) and Havering.

Uve confused me with the key. East London (the one with havering) looks to be South London. Anyway i think you should add 2 more countries to the continent with Bromely in it and give it a bonus of 5 (like North America in the classic which has lots of countries, few borders and 5 as a bonus)

Ok then. I have read through what you have to say and I think I am going to do the following:
    Unite Hammersmith with ken and Chel whilst widening the city centre border
    Split Hillingdon into two countries
    Join Islington with city
    Split Bromley into two
    Split Havering into two
    Add a border from west london to centre
    Add a border from east London to centre
    Join the two halves of Centre together with a border
    Add a few more borders
    Tidy up the arrow graphics.

    Hope this pleases everyone but I still want to know whether you prefer the continents split up (see version two) or together with hand black lines representing impassable borders (see version three) Please vote in the poll or add coments below

    Thanks :D

I think you should join islington and camden, not islington and the city. You could, however, steal area from westminister, camden and islington for the city if u wish to make it bigger. I like h\acing city in the middle of everything.

Together looks much better i think. If u want to split the continents up u will need a good background like the upcoming Australia map has.

Here we go. This is version 4. I have joined some countries and made some new ones (which I still need names for and would appreciate any ideas.) I've also added more continent borders and improved the arrows.
Here it is:

that's a great idea, i support it... you could use the central london territories as continents... countries could be like piccadilly, soho, etc...

south london and east london don't have accurate colours in the key, the arrows should be more subtle (like maybe the bridge on the ireland map). west london isn't capitalized, unless there's another city called Iondon.

as happysadfun said, u really have to fix up ur key. Maybe u should make South Bromely join to bexley, as it is currently south london is quite linear. I see a possible problem with Croydon, if someone attacks from lambeth and conquers it, the guy in south london is quite screwed because he cant fortify all his men to one country and attack (small problem really). I thought u were going to split havering? Also change the link between tower hamlets and lewisham to towere hamlets and greenwich (so it doesnt go over greenwich's territory). Also west London has 1 too many borders.

Second nice to see my home of bexley on a map!

Third and my only criticism where are the impassable points gonna be? at the moment the centre of town is brodered on everyside and very difficult for one player to take.

Otherwise well done


And Waltham Forest :(

my advice for this map is to include the Walthamstow Reservoirs as a border

I think this is moving on nicely - I'd play it.

Would love to see decent bridges across the river though, preferably with a nice little image of Tower Bridge etc etc, but don't know how this would come out.

Great map, but in the version where everything is together, central london has 7 borders!!!! could you maybe move the river to blck off some of central london fron the rest of the cruel world? As for the version that is separated, it looks stupid and the bonuses/ borders are scrwed up. But really, this is great. I was impressed when I heard you've only been here a few days.
