I like the new tracks, the other ones appeared too modern(except i've neve been and don't know how modernised it really is). You could colour the long curvy bit (ie. the metal bit) to distinguish them and leave the perpendicualr wooden things brown.
gotta say im enjoyinh this map so far , good job natty. but it may be more enjoyable if you took the rails out completley seeinh as thers mad territory in the map. also it kind of ruins the beauty of the map with all those railways everywhere. just sayin, somtimes simpler can be better to
Thanks, however this map will be waiting quite a while before it enters production... due to the 2 map limit of Foundry, there's 3 other maps that needs to be finished before this one.
still think you should lose the railways whenever the time comes to finish this map . its great , you dont need the rails crowding and ruining the niceness. if it was a specic 'rail' map then sure , but you see wat im getting at here. i know you worked hard on em but truly i think its better without dude.
Hmm, I had forgotten this project totally. Is there any support for this map, ie. are there any people who would really like to see this map go through? I could try to fit this in my schedule somewhere if so...
Although, the biggest obstacle here would be that I know next to nothing about Albania...
As for the visual look of the map, I made this draft ages ago, my graphical skills have - if I say so myself - improved since then so I would probably redo the whole thing from scratch...
As for the gameplay... what exactly bothers about the rail lines? They seem to work well enough on chicago and such. Also this isn't very well indicated on the map but they would be separate territories from the land territories they are on.

Take note Chicago and NYC are decent maps, but many do not play them for that sole reason. You have a nice standard map going, keep it that way. Nobody wants cluttered up maps. They are not needed for this map and look way off base. They work for NYC and Chicago but not this map. They are just a bad idea all around.
Yes....but it's totally different....I see in this map totally unnecessary,just imagine it without them...with all the borders territories and so on...it looks very good
I know you have other maps you're working on but I thought I'd throw out a few suggestions:
I don't like the map being so shiny. I like the version you did before this last one. But I do like the gray background in this version much better then the previous version's background.
I don't mind the rails but I think it is better without them.
I thought the +2 for every county is a funny idea. What about doing something like +1 for every county with 2 territories, +2 for every county with 3 territories, +3 for 4 territories, +4 for 5 territories. You would have to tweak the countries borders around to make the bonus' legit but that would be different and fun twist on a map.

Also: where did you download paint.net?
I tried downloading it from their website but it didn't work.
