Thanks a lot for that Kai, it's really cleared up everything for someone like myself who hasn't seen the map(s).
I'm sure this has been discussed to death, but isn't a representation of Afghanistan and Iraq as permanent American territory a little unreaslistic? Why not vassals, with not overly good relations and distinct civics?
im loving Africa in post #188 Kai, nice Job
One thing though, are we going to represent these ingame:
For the UK:
British Overseas Territories
For the EU Civ:
French overseas departments and territories Overseas Collectivities
Netherlands Antilles
Many of these islands\territories are important military bases (Falklands, British Sovereign Bases, Gibraltar, Ascension Island & Diego Garcia for the UK alone) and also provide flash points for possible conflicts with local neighbors (i.e The Falklands War) and diplomatic stumbling blocks (Gibraltar for Spain & the UK).
looks good here
may I make afew small suggestions:
NATO\UK should control:
-Gibraltar - important choke point for med and source of friction with spain\EU
-Falkands Islands - source of friction with Argentina
-Indian Ocean Territory (Diego Garcia) - important joint UK\US Air and Naval Base
See Here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Indian_Ocean_Territory
-Accension Island - important air base
-British Virgin Islands
-Cayman Islands
-Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia - important Land, Sea and Air base
The EU should control
-French overseas territories
--French Guiana
--French Polynesia
--Guadeloupe
--Martinique
--Réunion
--Mayotte
--Saint Pierre and Miquelon
--Wallis and Futuna
--New Caledonia
-Spain
--Ceuta
--Melilla
--Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera
--Peñón de Alhucemas
--Islas Chafarinas
-Dutch
--Netherlands Antilles
--Aruba
-Denmark
--Greenland
--Faroe Islands
not all of these island possessions need to be included, but some do. Also, Diego Garcia is a British possessions and base, not American, surely the two having open boarders would be fine and allow the US to use the island?
1) Forts in neutral territory are neutral; so it depends on the unit(s) present first.
2) Forts within a culture belomg to that culture.
In general: there's a separate modcomp Forts w/culture borders available!
Regarding Cyprus, I leave it down to you, there are seven to eight thousand British personnel permanently deployed on the island and it makes a great staging post for the Middle East. For playability I say give it to the UK, the EU have Crete, Malta & Sardinia anyway.
