Well, because Sweden is more than just rocks and ice and pine-trees
.I do hope we can see seasonal changes on the map. That would make this game so beautiful. At least a lush green spring/summer like terrain and more cold gray/white terrain in winter. This would also be informative for your military moves on the map as well.
You got Norway wrong. Nothing new there . I suggest that you some day, actually take a look at a map of Norway.

Stupid question perhaps... but what exactly is wrong with (the small part of) Norway on the map?
From Oslo and towards Trondheim there isnt much mountains, It should be lowlands the type you can see in Sweden where the forest ends. Its also a rather large lake in that area. The (big) mountains should be on the left side of the picture towards Bergen. From the picture it seems like the Hardangervidden has moved several houndred kilometers north east.
Its not that i care too much, it just looks silly next to the over-detailed Sweden, and they to this in every game the make. Just look at the Hoi 3 map :wacko:
For the infrastructure map I hope we'll be able to draw (mouse drag and drop of the line) the railway and not have to click on each province ala HOI3 (not gonna ask for the little train with smoke running around the map though )

Seriously, if my web site were up this morning I would use my fancy ROFL gif thingy. 7:15 AM and working on my first cup of coffee and I see this.
Stop it! You're killing me!
Smooth borders and "pathways" for marching armies a la euII please...
I die a little inside when i see EUIII's borders and marching routes, they are really ugly

So King, care to give us any indication as to what next Wednesday's DD might bring? No? I thought so.
Ah, go on
Ah, go on
Looking at Google Maps... The terrain immediately north of Oslo seems a lot more broken than the area of Sweden covered in the field texture. As for the mountainous terrain north of that... Well, that area seems quite mountainous enough to justify giving the provinces the "mountains" terrain type. And unless Paradox is willing to create "high mountains" and "low mountains" terrain types, the provinces north of Oslo and those along the coast from Trondheim to Stavanger are going to look somewhat similar.
Sweet map! I really like the fact that you guys decided to use the Clio map. And that King always answers any questions (no matter how dumb ) pretty fast. A big thumbs up for Pdox!

Omg this looks so niiiiice
I like the farmlands graphics very much! just add a little around Oslo too. There is a little farmlands there but not much in the rest of Norway, so i guess i'll have to import food when playing them.. Cant wait!
