Isn't that the case for much of expanded Himyar? I don't have exact proof, but I'm pretty sure most of the spots in southern Himyar are, on average, bigger than most other spots.

In any case, with Beau and Ziv moving, one could certainly carve up Midland Europe to make more spots. I have my doubts this will happen, but I'd also inquire further into what Xen is doing, see if we can carve up some of his mainland as well. I feel that, thanks to the old system of "make your own spots" when we first started Modern, most of are spots are just too damn big. Obviously we don't want to Balkanize them too much, but some like the Miedzymorze spot can definitely be carved up. After all, I remember a few months back when we had a crisis for where to put Slavs, seeing as most of Midland Europe, which was de facto Slav Country, was already taken.

Greater Sarmatia will continue to exist and be Beau's primary nation; he's stressed this to me. However, Miedzymorze will likely return to it's right-wing autocracy days.

If people want to help me out in my entirely different map building project, if they could link me to the NSEurope classic map, that would be helpful. Before anyone shits their pants in glee or anger, note that I'm not making a copy, but there are some aspects of it I want to include in the final touches on the map I'm working on.

The Nostalgia rages in me like teenage hormones. How I want to ravish that map...

... oh Christ, I'm beginning to sound like UDO, or NeoBrit. I need to get back to being inactive before I turn into them!

Assuming that Xyr is going to redo Zivotinje and/or Barazi in a significant manner upon assumption of Cantigny, I'd like to tentatively call dibs on a part of that to provide an abode for Greater Serbovia, if we're going with the current map.

I have to agree this was my initial reaction too. I mean, it is a beautiful map and all, but with activity and membership as it is, I don't think we need so many spots.

What we need is more spots in Eurodisneyland. Not the slicing and dicing of Himyar. I don't see the problem and neither should anybody else.

Though I think Khalistan's addition of a southwestern continent is a good call. Some green land there might provide an incentive for a second Eurodisney.

I took some of the ideas and came up with this. I am also thinking, using the suggestion of a NPC spots combine with the idea of a Great Fire Desert, the large empty spot in the middle of Himyar could fill that role, nobody really controlling it but some RP can be set there.

Large parts of the Sea of Fire are also in Hajr and other countries/spots... all the way to the eastern tip of Himyar. I appreciate the effort but I don't think it's all that much a useful addition to RP, either (which is my opinion regarding any NPC spots).

This, right here, is the reason why this thread has dragged on for so goddamn long. If anything, some of southern Himyar needs to be shaved off, and to me, all these new continents and whatnot sunk, and all the effort focused on Eurodisneyland. THAT is where everybody wants to go, THAT is what started this mess, and so therefore THAT is where the alterations should occur.

Jose is seconded so hard.

Anyway this thread is pointless since maps will be presented sometime soon. Discussion of new map versions will be handled in an own Reloaded thread.

Problem is I was forbidden to tamper with Eurasia

I don't blame you for the dragging on of this thread. If anything, I commend you for attempting to work around it to the best of your abilities. It's just that, despite those efforts, they never addressed the core of the problem.

Be my guest and tamper. Good luck getting the natives there to be happy with it though. The problem is the players in that region want none of it and are too stubborn to take one for the team.

I think at this point we all universally agree Eurodisney needs to be touched.

Start using this thread for gripes and concerns, not the request thread.
