By Bishops request and for the sake of clarity, i have created a thread for this map. The other germany thread was getting too crowded woth different maps.

Features:
- small map (we lack small maps on the site)
- 30 territories 8 regions
- historical map
- regions and territories are based on real borders
- the western area is unplayable, but is included nonetheless for reasons of "role playing", design and historical authenticity.
- no politically "questionable" symbols are used
- image size fullfills the criteria
- real maps i used as inspiration: https://imgur.com/a/RkKV4xH



- if you want i can split brandenburg into two equal parts with +3 bonus eachBecause right now, as it is, it will be difficult to take and hold it.

NOTE: There is possibility to make a second map with western provinces included. This would be a large map.

Looking nice, an interesting 30 tert map, but perhaps it can also work as a 42 territory map (adding the Western part of Germany)

Hoodlum
good to see you bishop.
yes i would probably agree, although it looks really nice, it seems a waste of an area (visually) not to play in.
just an idea.
i've used your other map as an idea. (i am not sure of the timeline, theme you are going for)
u could get away with 60 territories that would FIT (circles). from bishops neutrals guide. 52, 56 are great territory sizes. and would probably fix a cramped feeling and fit even better.
but also, we'd have to consider the most important aspect, gameplay. (impassable options)

well, if i were to make this area playable, then it would not be a small map anymore, just another large map.

here is what possible:

1. keep the small size map as it is gameplay wise (deutsches kaiserreich map). this would he called "deutsches kaiserreich 1900 eastern provinces"

2. make a second version that is exact the same, just with the Western area playable, similar to hoodlums proposal. i would simply add regioms and territories in the Western part.this would be called "deutsches kaiserreich 1900 complete territories" and it would be a big size map.

3. keep the germany middle size map as it is. i would be simply called "germany 2025".

so basicly we will get 3 maps of german theme, small, middle and large.

Many options, I'm confused now. 1900 Eastern provinces only, why? I'd say let's start with one map of the whole Germany, either historical or contemporary. Any allowed size would be fine to me.
