I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a the original USA 13 colonies map? With maybe Great Britain across the pond. I was thinking it could either be a you're at civil war map if just the 13 colonies or basically a way to reenact the The American Revolutionary war. I know it's very USA specific but I feel like this could be a fun map. I also don't know if this is possible but I would love for there to be a specific way to have 2 bonuses called the Hessian bonus and the French bonus to represent 2 of the most well known countries that helped each side of the war. I they would need to be specific to owning just The Colonies versus Just Great Britain to get the bonus. So you would have to only own all of The Colonies in order to get the French troops bonus before you can attack Britain and the visa versa for the Hessian troops bonus. Hopefully this makes sense.

i personally like the idea. just make a rough sketch with borders, regions, bonuses, additional bonuses, territories etc. and then the community and I can provide further feedback.

a uss centered map isnt a problem. The Bishop long time ago said we need more usa maps.

Yes, a very very nice suggestion Bishop! Such a historically and geopolitically significant part of the world, and home to the world's largest city in Guangzhou-Shenzhen. And as Dima said, the shape is good and lends itself to good gameplay hopefully :)

maybe a fantasy map of the garden eden and its surroundings? similar to the atlantis/lemuria map by Cireon and others? The foir rivers and the rasin(s) could make a nice interesting geography.

basicly there is a theory. It has never been proven, but it is entirely possible, and perhaps even likely, that it is true:
Several thousand years ago, what is now the Persian Gulf was still land. There was no sea there yet. Instead, there was a large valley or basin into which four rivers flowed.

It is hypothesized that the Garden of Eden, or some ancient civilization even older than Uruk, was located in this territory, which is now flooded and covered by water.

There are several indications that this hypothesis could be correct. For example, aerial and satellite imagery shows that this area was once a real landscape, with ancient riverbeds. Settlements have also been found along what was once the ancient coastline.
This also matches the actual geographyand climate of that time. Several thousand years ago, sea levels were indeed lower.

Many flood myths from the Middle East and the Ancient Near East also point in the same direction. The Epic of Gilgamesh is the oldest known story that mentions such a great flood. The stories found in the Bible, in the Old Testament, and from which the Old Testament was later compiled, largely originate from this same cultural region. Flood myths are also very common there.

Here are some pictures:

There are still some names of political entities of that region of that time preserved in the excavated writings of the Uruk culture, so theoretically have have some ideas for territoriy and region names. and the rest can simply be fantasised, just like the atlantis map.

Here is also some info on the topic:

I like that idea!
would it most likely be a bigger map with more territories? or a smaller map with like 4/5 bonuses between the rivers/eden?
Or was it just a random thought and you have no idea?
Aha!
