Maybe bombard would be a better option?

Suggestion taken into consideration and I will have to agree that it's a good one, thanks for sharing.

I agree, it surely could cause a little problem with gameplay but that's the real geographical placement of the provinces as of 1996.

In CC, gameplay comes first, geographical accuracy second. We're making maps to be played, for entertainment, not educational purposes...

I still strongly suggest ...

Does Kabul count as a regional capital for the Central Zone? If so, put that on the legend.
Well that's something that has to be debated since I initially wanted it to be part of Central Zone but then I was suggested to keep it a standalone region starting with Initial Neutral troops (5-9 ...

Thanks a lot and I will try my best to keep it to the highest limits so it could match the standards already set my our great Cartographers of CC.

Edit: Cartographers

This map has somehow evaded my notice. Anywho's, a fairly good first draft with a clear explanation of all gameplay. The bonuses I think are inflated, with too few territories in the North to justify +7. Consider that Asia in Classic has 12 territories defended at I think 5 points for a +7.

I ...

There's been quite a few wars in Afghanistan during the past 100+ years. If up to it, why not do a serie - e.g. British/Russian campaigns back in the days, the Soviet intervention backing the domestic Commies and then the US/Nato invasion following the Afghan attacks on the US? That would be an ...

Just submitted it, thanks for letting me know.
You have been of a lot of help so thanks again and keep them coming

i say +2 because i HAAATE high neutrals... slows down gameplay. I guess its fine for people use to 60+ rounds games though
Yah a +2 is better I guess about neutrals that's the fun of the game since everyone would be trying to take Kabul with it's capability of attacking any zonal capital. Think ...

No, if Kabul gets a high amount of Neutrals, I'd find it better to have it not a part of any bonus areas. Whichever bonus area it is part of would basically stay untaken because people would not be attacking Kabul until they have enough troops, so that's one bonus area out of the game at least for ...

ambitious project man. Ive been to afghani for a bit, map looks good.

lol, see you are from UE ... Id rather like to see a dubai map someday
Thanks dear,
I am from Afghanistan but currently in UAE so I really don't know much about UAE but yet I guess that's also not a bad idea, maybe I could ...

The capital & zone capitals are a nice twist. I suggest making Kabul not part of any bonus area, and it probably needs to start neutral, otherwise whoever gets it in the drop will have a big advantage. The zone capitals probably as well...

Unfortunately the Kabul feature makes the bonus areas ...

I see that Badakhshan (North East most bordered with China) provicne's name is missing so don't mind that please.

Ok here is a modified version of the map with both exact Small (630x600) and Large (840x800) sizes.

Key Changes:

Making the gameplay hard is ok, but it can't be imbalanced. When you make one area much stronger than others, the games are very likely to be decided by the drop, especially on a small map.

It's a bit late here now, but I promise I'll take a look at those impassables tomorrow.

Also, it's not ...

Gharanai I would cut down on the number of countries in the Eastern Zone from 9 to 7
What do you say if I had 16 and 28 to Central region?


- Next, as another member already mentioned, move some of the Mt range impasses out to the borders.
- Remember, not only does the number of countries effect ...

This is a bit premature, but I'd suggest the XML wizard.
Thanks for that, I will surely keep that in mind.

Anywhoo... it looks like a solid first draft, although your image is way too big (maximum size is 840x800 for the large version and 630x600 for the small)... which makes me worry, if all ...

Thanks dear Seko for the tips.
-Naming provinces is on the list and it was just there so it would be easier for members to point out, once things get going it would be there.
-The map you provided is the correct Zonal map of Afghanistan (while both Western and Eastern North comes under single ...
