It's your mod in the end. Own it.

No, the point is to ensure that others like it and use it. It's a bit of a waste of time to build a mod that only appeals to me

Map now completed as far as Stalingrad (some factory icons not yet added).

I have the Black Sea Coast as Caucasus left to complete. I will then post a full set of screens here and ask for any editing or spelling errors to be commented, referring to the map number.

Hopefully, I can upload the mod by next weekend.

This mod surely looks like a must have. Very, very nice work.

Thanks. Votes here for the following options, please:

1. Winterized version (see my winter map mod on the Wiki site)
2. With Hexes version - how many people play with hexes on?

With Hexes version - how many people play with hexes on?

When the mod has hexes, than it is my new playcard. [;)]

This looks fantastic!!!! Great work! I always wanted the names of the little towns. Suggestion: How about having a slight difference in dot size depending on town size? Or maybe square "dots" for the largest ones?

Winter version sounds awesome!

I always play with hexes on.

icons look good

BTW Sevastapol and Simerferapol have city art but they are really pop 4 towns maybe you wanna change that

Aha - the source of at least one typo (I believe in sharing the blame whenever possible!

Hexes please.

Black Sea Coast now completed...

With Hexes sample

Winterized sample

The winter map looks maybe a bit drab to me. The features (swamp, woods etc) kind of blend with the background. But I suppose it has to be seen with the games winter graphic to really see how it will appear in game.

I will try to brighten it up a bit, but the winter in the 1941 Soviet Union WAS drab

New icon key chart added on Zoom 1-3 levels. The new icons are not visible at Zooms 4 and 5, so I have omitted the key to avoid confusion...

Added indicators of shipping routes to help highlight cases where sea supply or sea evacuation are possible...

When I have time, I will look at doing this for all zoom levels.

This is really a great work. [&o]

Thanks. And the Black Sea...

That's uhm, pretty awesome really. [&o]
 
Oh, and with hexes please, thank you.

IMO you don't need the shipping lanes - you already have port markers. They don't get used frequently and they're distracting with their redness and the stark ship silhouette. Simpler is better I think.
