Try finishing the map before posting it :)

No one likes a half done map.

Is this copied from Landgrab (or another site)? I know the last one was so I don't think it's a bad question to ask. Don't take any personal offense.

He is asking if you took the map from Landgrab, because the last people who tried to make this map did.

this is theirs i think:

well apparently you made a version of this map a while ago. And, soon after, Gnome came out with his version

here

So, you stopped yours since his was better at the time. But, it was found out that his was pretty much just a copy of a version from Lux Deluxe.

And, at the moment, yours looks quite a bit like his version. So, maybe you can help us out and show us where you got the layout of the map.

Obviously since they all deal with the same event, they'll be similar but still it doesn't hurt to show us your sources etc..

A brilliant idea.
But it wasn't a revolution, it was a civil war/rebellion :lol:
