I think that we have learned enough about our surrounds that we may start discussing actual borders.

A quick explanation of the lines. Solid lines represent natural features on which broders should be based on, no matter what. Dotted lines are those that are undefined by geography, but remain my suggestions. I have also noted where I'm guessing Japan and England are.

My own explanation for this map: I wanted to follow good geographic features. I mainly used mountians, seas, and the Doughnut Forest. The way our tight build strat is going, I didn't think that there were going to be many cities in one area. This is why the areas seem small.

Any comments? Ideas? or completely different proposals?

You should add this to the existing border discussion here (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=31202). No need to have conversations going in two threads on the same subject.

Shaitan, you can merge a thread, too if Octivian X wishes.

Merging threads is tricky. My first experiment with it failed utterly and I ended up deleting several posts accidentally.

And since it's just one post it's just as easy to copy it to the existing discussion.

Sounds ok. I guess I just lost the earlier discussion. I will post this there, and ask a mod to close this thread.
