This would be a map of the Nordic Counties - Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland, and the associated islands.
It's not a large map, it's not a complex map, and it doesn't have any whistles and bells. The justification for making a smallish, straightforward map is that the majority of active games at this site right now are two-four players on the classic maps. Plus, now that real-time games seem to be working more smoothly than in the past, smaller maps make for better RT games in my opinion.
The present layout has 37 regions, 8 commands, and three small bonuses you can tack on to commands you already hold.
The map doesn't look like much at the moment, but I already know where its going to go visually - I just need to commit some time to making it happen. So yes, the sea routes and the mountains the colors look awful - everything is just there to start the conversation. I'd rather not spend hours on the visuals until I know we have something.
For now I'd appreciate any feedback, especially concerning the regions divisions - I don't know the region myself, and I'm just using existing political borders between regions of the countries. Also, if any the sea routes look impossible or ridiculous please let me know.
