Here a map I thought might be cool

I don’t know how to make it a map but if someone wants to use it go right ahead.
Just PM, thanks.

Not a bad idea, we'd prefer ideas go into the actual ideas topic in this forum instead of being their own topic when the poster doesn't intend to make the map.

I think this is okay though, you gave some materials to work with.

This is very similar to the idea coleman came up with once. Id love to see someone pull it off. Do you intent o work on this map yourself?

France didn't have control of Florida.

That was Spain, possibly in Alabama as well. Maybe you could add in Spain. Just a thought.

Great map, originel and its has a lot of gameplay potention, but I think you forgot the Netherlands. See the history below:

Along with Spain, Britain, France, and Russia, the Netherlands was one of the small group of European powers to claim territory and establish a colony on the soil of North America. In the early seventeenth century, the Dutch were active traders who dominated Europe's commerce with the East Indies. Expansion to the New World was a natural outgrowth of their role in Asia, as in 1609 the United East India Company (VOC) engaged the English navigator, Henry Hudson to try to find a new route to the wealthy spice islands in the East.

Hudson's explorations of Staten and Manhattan Islands and what later came to be known as the Hudson River led to further expeditions by the Dutch, who were primarily interested in developing a profitable fur trade with the Indians. In 1621 the Dutch government granted a charter to the West India Company (WIC) to develop trade in the New World. The directors of the WIC subsequently decided to establish a permanent colony, New Netherland, in the part of the North American coast that the Dutch claimed - the area between 40 and 45 degrees latitude. The first permanent settlers (ironically mostly French-speaking Protestant refugees from what is now Belgium) arrived in early 1624, and began to put down roots in parts of the present-day states of New York, New Jersey, Delaware, and Connecticut.

For the next forty years, the Dutch struggled to sustain the colony. They developed a lucrative fur trade with the Indians and built villages and farms throughout the mid-Atlantic region. Attracting settlers was difficult, however, in part because pressures to emigrate from the relatively prosperous home country were limited. The growth of English settlement in neighboring New England and conflict between England and the Netherlands eventually spelled the end of New Netherland, as Governor Peter Stuyvesant was forced to surrender New Amsterdam--soon to be renamed New York--to an English fleet in 1664.

The Dutch influence on America far outlasted the end of the colony, and can be seen in the many Dutch place names in New York, New Jersey, and elsewhere; in the architectural styles introduced by the Dutch settlers; and in the continued presence of the Dutch Reformed Church. Three future presidents--Martin Van Buren, Theodore Roosevelt, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt--were among the many prominent Americans descended from the early Dutch settlers.

Its just a suggestion.

lol to be honest, that's what I tohught already, if you sea the nice background all fits...and then you get those pixely flags in there...couldn't be right...

I GOT SERVED · Post by **I GOT SERVED** » Mon Oct 08, 2007 1:26 pm

Well, with the Lux map aside, I still think this is a good idea. A lot of potential for gameplay.

If I saw a draft of an original map, I'd be happy to comment in more detail.

I've liked all of Unit_2's game play ideas, but he's the type that is going to need an artist to want to carry them out I think. It's hard to get things moving when all you have is paint.

All art needs to be original though, stealing is bad form and can get the site in trouble if we don't notice until it is too late.

I believe the word is "plageurism"...

ya I like the idea...if Unit_2 agree I can finish this map for him...I'm like waiting till Midkemia gets to that final forge and than maybe do some minor changes on that so I have time for a new map...I only needed Idea's...

sure, do you want me to make a basic map of it or do you want to do it?
