I dunno, yours is cool but I still liked the other one better, but that was more defendable, *shrug* Either way you made my country to big, you'll need to cut off the Eastern part at the thinist part and the Western part just where it begins to swan dive.

Your nation isn't too big for the population you want.

Maybe, but I don't want my country to be that coastal.

When do we start killing and invading Cheese eating surrender monkies? I have a visceral need to work out some past aggression against those little bastards for their 'support' during the war.

I still don't likw that little piece of my country hanging out there with only a small connection...I feel like Freaking Germany after World War I. Couldyou perhaps move it up and over so it's a bulge in my country? The free space can be another NPC to satiate Marina so she won't kill me. :D

If this map is adapted I will also require shitty fortifications to reduce to rubble from 50 yards with my three deckers.

Castles build out on breakwaters don't last long against a three-deck ship of the line. Some would still be around in 1725. Though in general a two or three decker that could get in close would smash most anything since even a modern fort couldn't come close to matching its broadside. But if shallow water keeps the ships of the line away then you need mortar armed bombs.

Yay for new mid-sized island! I'll be changing up my history post a bit, but I think I'll get a closeup of the realm sometime tomorrow.

Thank god there's a free slot between me and the IS-2s, though :P

Ehhh...not to be overly critical, but i'd prefer it if Austs were

1) a bit smaller

2) more land-focused. I have a very small navy, and, like I said, would prefer a smaller stretch of coast

Actually if you've got the equivalent of Egypt your limited by your lack of timber which is far more important then coastline

In needs to have the same terrain otherwise the North African coast would already have been clamed by the major powers, for the timber if nothing else.
