Save the peoples republic of china from communism

Post by reverend_kyle »

Here's the map i'm starting. This is the overly simplified form, I'm just looking for ideas like gameplay ideas, continent names, etc.... but here's what i have so far.

Image

The blue ripplish things are rivers and the brown things are mountains both uncrossable. Here's what i have so far, that orange thats cut off from the rest of the orange is going to be changed to yellow. The most sw region is Tibet, the region to the north of it is like xinjiang autonomous region, and the northern most region is manchuria.

That is acually something new and can change some games nicely.

You're right that would make things interesting.

Yeah, what happened to the France map? That was coming along nicely and got a lot of useful feedback? Would it not be wise to continue that map?

I'm taking a further look into the france map, and its still coming along just slower. I'm sort of practicing my map making skills seeing as how i just switched software so i'm starting other maps to experiment with it.

This is what, ur third unfiinished map in the foundry. As they say at landgrab, ur a mapmaking machine boy. You have some huge territories you need to split up like tibet, inner mongolia and that red continent. That circle country in another country in the red continent doesnt look good and im guessing it wont play that well either.

If you want a texture make it an chinese texture.

I just noticed you added taiwan, the taiwanese would find that offensive.

C'mon, the continents are terrible. Can you write the name of those tiny countries, like the 2 in the north part of the blue continent? Change the countries, guy.

western countries are horridly formed. inner mongolia is too big. mountains look like mole tunnels. good map idea tho.
