I vote for terrain map with higher transparency, so we see the terrain, but it doesn't get to excessive with units, texts and numbers necessary for the game.

Blank map, definitely, the terrain map looks too distracting IMHO. Also I thought the colors in the terrain map were too dark, perhaps a little brighter?
Why not release both a terrain and a non-terrain version. Would satisfy everyone.
What's the source file for this map? Something you found on the web?

Yes I will choose the golden middle, so everyone will be satisfied.
I am curently working with Illustrator to fit the worldmap on HoI2... it can take some time until next screens will arrive.
This looks really promising!
A minor nitpick: the province of Lithuania that you named "Klaipeda" should be named "Siauliai", because Klaipėda ir the Lithuanian name for what the Germans call Memel. Also, Klaipėda/Memel belongs to Lithuania after the WW2, so it should be part of Lithuania after the fall of the USSR. Just thought I'd let you know

Should not be province named "Holstein" Flensburg in fact?
Also have to agree with this:

Here you can the my current Photoshop status: The blank map is already done, next I will start with making the greyscale from it.
To show the difference between the original map and mine... Provinces in Europe and North America will be a bit small than before. Errrr.. if you want to conquer Ukraine and Russia as Germany... then try it if you can manage those distances.

That's the smexiest map ever.
BTW, is there really NO province limit or is it just very high?

The South-Eastern Dutch province of Limburg is actually the name of the province.
The biggest city would be Maastricht, which is also the capital.
Otherwise, the city of Venlo would have some strategic importance as well.
Personally, I don't mind if you keep it to Limburg, it's just not consistent with naming all territories after cities like in the rest of HOI.

I think it's around 10,000 provinces or so. So from a practical standpoint it's unlimited as you can't really make a practical map for HOI2 which has 10,000 provinces.
Or I'm confusing this with another project and it is pretty much unlimited.
10000 Provinces are very nice but I do not like to make much more provinces than in vanilla. Later I can increase it...
Good choice. When your first map mod is just optical, everyone and everymod can use it rigth away.
