I think the lighthouses work much better game-play-wise than the boats did -plus more graphically appealing.
OK
How about a couple of boats in dead space as well?
As Territs, or as decoration?

They could link the lighthouses in fact (getting round the 'slingshot' issue rightly raised).
You could also go for a bonus for holding the boats/ships. Possibly one lager ship (2/3 terits) that links to the others / can bombard other boats/ships/certain land terits.
If you do go for this I wouldn't advise too many - too avoid clutter - just an additional feature, graphically and gameplay-wise.

How about ferries which have docks at most light houses on long island.. i liked this map when it first came out .. only because i was born and raised here.. But from what i see now it is very boring and does not represent long island at all with the exception of the shape which is still off considerably.. Now i finally understand why the foundry members knock state based maps.. There is so much that can be added here..

There will only be a few, not as many as before

Premier2k wrote:ok a few things I notice,
1. The word 'Nassau' is very close to the lighthouse, looks kinda cramped. Can you move it to the left slightly?
Will do, thanks
2. I don't like having the names on the map, i.e The Hamptons, Central Suffolk etc.. I think just having the colour differences is enough. It makes it look cluttered.
I think it is a geographical map and it kind of needs it, if to many people object then we might
3. The drop shadow on the continent names is different in places, on The Hamptons it's darker than the drop shadow on Central Suffolk.
Well its because we like the Hamptons better
Nah, we'll change it thanks
4. Is there any reason why there are different styles of lighthouse on the map? If there is then you need to note the differences. Also, the lighthouse on Cedar Hurst is the same colour as Cedar hurst, perhaps you should swap that lighthouse with one of the white ones so it stands out more?
We'll play with that idea, I think the two sides need different lighthouses for distinguishing reasons

danfrank wrote:The are so many othe names to choose from besides SE Brookhaven.. Which in reality doesn`t exist.. Brookhaven is divided into a north and south region. And you rarely here it beng called that.. Some names east of patchogue on the south shore .. Include East Port ,, Moriches , Center Moriches , Manorville.. Also instead of north brookhaven , some names in that region include Mt Sinai, Rocky Point, Port Jefferson, stony brook, Belle Terre ( super rich like the hamptons ) .Although big instead of smithtown there is head of the harbor ( more buku bucks) and saint james . I like the boat and lighthouse idea and i feel that the names of the regions should atleast be relevant to cities on the north and south shore That cater to the boating community. . Having names of townships are irrelevant to the boat and lighthouse idea.. Patchogue is a city and not a township.. bayshore is a city and not a township. cedarhurst is a city as well as massapequa not townships.. Also hamprtons spirit boat is spelled wrong.. and now that i look at the boats ... are they going to be dead territories like the boats in imperium roman or are they starting points ?..
