I actually have another proposal: divide all of Ireland's provinces by county, so it allows for greater flexibility in regards to determining the NI-RoI border.

Link for the source of my idea: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repartition_of_Ireland

Keep in mind that all the E3 provinces in Ireland (both in the actual mod and in my proposal) should be either have Irish or English names.

I think that would be too much, even for E3...

Alright Sir. :D
But I think at least Bonn would be a nice addition. But's not that important.

I think that maybe at least Bonn could be added.

I found it allways really bad if I read "Capital: Köln/Cologne" for the GFR ingame... But okay.

Another point... I still couldn't make the borders of the Alash Autonomy. Or the Kirgizistan ASSR. Allways I have try it the borders look ugly or Orenburg isn't in the state. But Orenburg was the capital of the Alash Autonomy and the Kirgizistan ASSR. I have search some maps for this place:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ru/a/a2/Киргизская_АССР_(1920-1925).png
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Карта_КАССР.png?uselang=ru

I hope one time I can make nice Kazakhstan borders. The southern borders a already beautiful!

I'm currently working at some changes in Russia so I'll take into consideration some changes at Russian-Kazakh border too.

A gameplay suggestion: you should add beaches to a few relevant provinces only. Otherwise, the AI will go mad trying to defend all those landing points, and will send only a few divisions to the front.

Currently I need all beaches and ports to see if all positions are correct. In final version a lot of them should be removed.

some error and suggestion:
Hopeh(河北Hebei)’s flag is 鄂 E is realy Hupep's(湖北Hubei) it must be 冀 Ji
and the 东北抗日义勇军 in Chahar is now absorb by Hopeh in 1936

and the Ma can be Ningxia(宁) and Qinghai(青)with North Gansu,South Gansu is CHI(by the river)
and the Sikang(康)can independent from Szechwan(川)
almost Hunan(湘)can be independent
and Kweichow(黔)can be independent before 1935.5.3

1. Hopeh - OK, fixed.
2. Please use English translations for Chinese signs too. I wasn't sure what's 东北抗日义勇军, but finally I've realized it's Anti-Japanese Volunteer Armies. As default scenario starts at January 1st 1936 should it be on the map or it was already absorbed to Hopeh?
3. You mean all Gansu provinces on the east or south from Yellow River should go to (Nat.) China?
4. Independent Sikang should cover only area currently in the scenario controlled by Szechwan or also Tibetan part?
5. Independent Hunan will be added.
6. Kweichow as the game starts in 1936 won't be added.

Keep in mind that all the E3 provinces in Ireland (both in the actual mod and in my proposal) should be either have Irish or English names.

Maybe a province or two could be added on the British side of Ulster to allow blue-green borders included here (second map):

Two things mumia:

1- I think that Callao city, in Peru deserves it's own province, not because of her population number, but because it's one of the most important Peruvian ports and one of their main naval bases.
2- What do you think about my proposal of using the free ids, once the land map have been finished, up to the hardcoded limit of 10000 to get more naval provinces here and there?

1. Callao added to my list, it just needs cutting a little part of Lima and moving Trujillo and Chimbote a bit north.
2. Maybe not 1500 new sea-zones, but definitely few (hundred?) should be added, mostly along coastal provinces.

1. I'm not dead, yet.

I don't want to dash anybody's hopes, but how would we know if you actually died? For example, if a Nuclear Submarine would fell on you, and die on the scene, would be someone to tell us you are dead?

2. I'm currently working at Pacific Islands. Also I plan to redraw completely Pacific and Indian oceans.

That means you are redrawing the waters too?

I live in Dąbrowa Górnicza which lies on about 300 meters above sea level, it's hard to find a Nuclear Submarine here, but I may be wrong.

Yes, I plan to redraw some water too.

It's about time.

Any news on NI yet?

I was thinking about adding two provinces to Northern Ireland to have two Protestant provinces (Belfast and Londonderry) and two Catholic provinces: one formed of Enniskillen (Inis Ceithleann), Omagh (an Ómaigh) and Armagh (Ard Mhacha) and another one of Newry (An Iúraigh) and Newcastle (An Caisleán Nua) rather than so many tiny provinces. Northern Ireland would be then the most divided area of the map, even more than Yugoslavia.

Spain:

North Adriatic sea:

- As you can see there are rather no place for more provinces...

Hungary and Romania:

Have you considered eventually releasing an alternative version of the map where many of those dwarf provinces are combined or given to larger provinces?

He spent all this time making all these tiny provinces (due to user requests), and now you are requesting to recombine them?
The poor man will die before he ever finishes at this rate.
