First draft 1914 map file

Great Map! Whereas I don’t know the game and the OOB map here is some input:

No shaded borders:

• Austria
• Ottoman empire
• Spanish Marocco
• All german colonies in Africa
• Somaliland
• Ethiopia
• Holland
• Norway
• Sweden
• Denmark (double border)
• Greece
• Bulgaria
• Persia
• Afghanistan

Border shading pattern switching:

• Alsace: not consistent with other german countries
• Belarus: not consistent with other russian countries

Border missing:

• Canada (Right beneath country name ‘Canada’)
• Ireland (right of the country token)

Typos:
Marselles - Marseilles
Afganistan - Afghanistan

“Wondering”:

• German East Africa - some blue brushes (lakes?)
• Why are there sometimes countries with town names (e.g. Kiel, Hannover, Munich) and sometimes countries with their correct names (Prussia, Silesia)?
• Kiel/Hannover: very strange locating and naming; Kiel is the capital of Schleswig-Holstein, the northernmost state of Germany. Whereas Schleswig-Holstein lies between the North Sea and the
   Baltic Sea, Kiel is located at the coast of the Baltic Sea. Hannover is the capital of Lower Saxony, another northern state of Germany, in fact located where the map shows the area of ‘Kiel’.
• There is a country without a name (between  Transjordan and Egypt)

You realize this is a reproduction of OOB map right?

Yes, I realized it, nonetheless I’m wondering (…about the OOB map concerning the mentioned cases).

WOW… looks great!  I think Sea Zone 15 needs a Mine Icon?  By the way the idea of showing those mines is a superb! When we played we forgot about mines, this will remind us!  And this is a side question… since there is no anchor in India, I take it no navy can be built there?

Again…. superb work! I’d like to print this out about 25% larger than the regualr map, I think that would be big enough so things were not so tight duirng some of the game play! Looks like its ready to go! Are you getting rid of the text and prod. chart in the middle, I saw others commented on that.  Weve played twice now and none of us use it.  I’ll tell you what should be on there… a turn order on on side to match the cost chart on the other… wouldnt need the book at all then… Both could be larger so people could se from any angle.  Unless you want to add any territories that saw fighting in that region, I’m no expert on that though!

Oh no, the dreaded background images are back.    :wink:

Any chance you can create a pdf with layers for these background images so they can be toggled on/off? I’d like to print this map out but not with background images please.

@Imperious:

Then print the version before w/o the images. Alot of people PM’ed me and wanted those pictures…for whatever reason

But that version doesn’t include the most recent changes you made.  :-(

These files don’t load for me, could you just put the pics on as an attachment?

I agree that non capital tt names should be regional rather than a mix of regions and towns.

Imp Leader,
I noticed two things, but this may be from a version that I printed that you already fixed!  Rome, for Italy does not have a Red dot as a capitol and Venice… the “V” in Venice is double printed so it looks like a “W”. I played two full games last weekend with a good group… they pick up everything… and they were VERY IMPRESSED!!!  GREAT JOB!  And thanks for sharing, we use all the extra stuff you put in Africa; turn order, costs, etc!  Leave all the clutter off the table you would need for rulebooks etc!

If those 2 things mentioned above can be fixed or already are, I’d love to get a copy of it with all the extras you did when you have time! Again, if those are already fixed I apologize and simply didn’t see a newer link!

I noticed the same things as pitsbrgparatrpr, and agree with everything he said.

Also, shouldn’t Portugal and Portuguese East Africa should be colored in blue just like Belgium and Belgian Congo?

Would love an updated file so I can print this soon!

Thanks
