I'd personally rather see a SoCal map more.

What would you rather see in So Cal? LA, Hollywood, etc.....or just all below the grapevine? Ideas are always welcomed. That was an idea, but I'm working on the bay area and would certainly look at so. cal next.

The San Francisco map is titled "San Francisco Bay Area." What would be in your map that's not already on that map?

The rest of the bay area......that map is missing 4 other counties. There are more territories in the South Bay as locals would call it.

Got it. I personally think there are a lot of other major cities that should get a map before we double-down on an area as small as the Bay Area, but that's just my own opinion. It shouldn't stop you from proceeding if you really want to do this.

I'm biased because I live here now, but I always thought Washington DC should have a map, given its political status worldwide. I think I posted a thread with an idea about it a long time ago--I will try to dig that up. EDIT: http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewto ... washington

I think Tokyo and Paris should both have maps and both have been worked on in the past, though the Tokyo draft made it much further.

I think a South American city would be great... probably Rio de Janeiro, with a carnival theme.

I think Venice could be good, but it would take some creativity.

I'd also toss in Dublin, with a more shamrock/overtly Irish theme than you see on the Ireland map.

I also think Montreal and Hong Kong could be two of the best maps on the site if someone with real graphical talent did revamps and tried to have themes that were based on those locales. If any two maps on this site could be revamped, those would be my choices. Great gameplay; terrible graphics.

LA County has its sites. Orange County is especially cool as far as counties go.
