Default Re: New Map: 3Isles

I've looked at the water heavy map in Paint.net... Not the game, though I will when I can.

I like it, but have a couple of thoughts to throw out- though they are just brainstorms, not carefully considered. Take them with a grain of sea salt

One, connect all the port cities via whatever map command or something.

On the eastern continent, on in the inside of the 'C', the sea provinces are too small for sailing. If you took the area covered by those three small provinces and made it only two sea provinces, perhaps divided on that forest province, it would make sailing a useful to that area, where currently, the north and south shores can only sail one province's distance. If you want three provinces, then maybe just move the northern line to match up with the farmlands? and the southern just a bit above the river. On the other hand, there's no reason people _have_ to be able to sail there, but the mountains would make it rather hard to approach that area from the south.

Between the north and south western islands, there are three provinces they can sail over. Between the north west island and the easter island, theres only one province to and from which they can sail, which makes it more defensible. The same for the southwest and eastern.

Now if I miss something because I'm only looking at the image file... I'll find out around midnight.
