Hello,

This is a new middle-size map i finially finished. I am more or less satisfied with the "ghastly"design/colors (white/cyan/blue/gray) and i think the game play is also okay. Because I consider the map to be more or less finished (and ready to test) i have made an extra thread.

There are 40 territories and 10 regions. It is a historic map.

The map shows the crusader states in the mediterennean that were established in an attempt to secure access to the Holy Sites and push against the muslim/arab/turkic expansion into the territoriy that was previously the core part of Europe/Roman Empire. Some surrounding states are also shown.

The symbols I used are the symbols of some political entities of that time and also militias, for example byzantine, sultanate of rum, templars, fatimid and kingdom of jerusalem insignia. I know that some of these symbols also have a religious meaning and thus a bit "unfitting" for a risk map, but since these symbols also have a political function and aim to distinguish the political entities of that time in that region, I decided to use them. Also it is a historic map.

PS: If some of the map makers, apart from Bishop and Hoodlum who are out of time lately and/or are inactive, have an interest in testing it, then tell me, i will provide the list of adjacents and regions.

Guys, i recently spoke with Hoodlum and he clarified me about the map size. I always thought that either the width or the hight is supposed to be 1024, but instead the map should he horizontal and have a width, but never the hight, of 1024. This is obviously not the case with this map.

Is it possible to make an exception for this map, cuz i either didnt properly understood the manual for map making or misread, i am not native english speaker. Are other admins/mods okay with this map being 1024 high?

Outremer Crusader States, that's nice!
Perhaps add 1 more territory (40 total) for better divisibility in case of 4 and 5 players.
And remove one E, there's a misspelling in the title.

French language note:
outre-mer means "beyond the sea";
outre-mère means "beyond the mother"!

We do prefer to have standard width, but we can input also out of standard ones, like Westeros.
Especially when the format is so tall, it makes sense. How many pixels is this map width?

P.S. Outremer is English actually, but it comes directly from French. English Wikipedia confirms my spelling is correct.
