the vanilla map won't cut it, right?! [;)]

Right.

Looking good!

Any chance to get a "Word in Flames" style variant with thin (!) hex sides on land hexes and dots in the middle of ocean hexes, like Andrew Brown did in this thread?

Really helps with destination setting...

Do you also plan to modify this sensational map for the DBB extended map version?

this is the extended map for DBB - the vanilla map won't cut it, right?! [;)]

Hei chemkid, just to be clear (I'm in trouble to understand english):
this is only for Extended Map version, right?
If yes, there's any chance to see it for stock map?
Thanks in advance.

It looks pretty, but is it accurate?

If you base this on recent maps from satellite images -- yes? -- how do you account for topographic changes since WWII -- deforestation, artificial lakes from dammed rivers, desertification, receding snow cover, etc.?

I know from firsthand experience that the Philippines, for example, is now much less forested than just 20-30 years ago.

We strive for perfection in our OOBs, to be as "realistic" and "historical" as humanly possible. Is striving to "perfect" the map in this way perhaps misguided?

chemkid, Use Sumatra. Its contained and shows just about everything. The area near Hong Kong would be good for a second look.[:)] Really like it. GP

Good grief, this looks awesome. I can't wait.

What a fantastic map!! Great job. Thanks for putting in the effort and love. I can't wait to ins

I too think it looks great. Can't wait to see the outcome. [;)] J

Holding off starting a new RA campaign till I can install this. Exact sort of mod I want to see. Thanks in advance

Oh how cool. Adds a lot of realism.[:)]
Only thing I would say is the red RR kind of get lost in the terrain. But how cool.[8D] GP

This is looking great. I would agree that the RR, the dotted one in particular, gets lost in the terrain. I think black,grey, or yellow would be better for roads than green. Don't forget that using green and red together will be a problem for those who are color blind.
