I created a strategic map from multiple screenshots. I enhanced the state borders and names to make them show up better.

There are two sizes. The small one will fit on a single sheet. The large one is poster size.

(AGEod guys, let me know if this steps on toes and I'll remove it.)

Oh well. I learned quite few things doing this. I wanted to remove all the shading for uncontrolled areas, so I figured out how to edit a scenario to remove the Confederates and transfer control of all regions to the Union. I wanted all regions in clear weather, so I figured out what controlled that. I edited the interface files to remove all the interface except for the jump map.

Maybe I'll use the official map as a starting point and add important cities. I like how it doesn't have all those little flags all over the place.

That's going to cost a fortune to print, but it'll be worth it!

Warning from Rafiki : "Due to Gray Lensman's never-ending efforts, the map is slightly out of sync with what you see in-game"

If anyone has a big screen (and motivation) he can update the map.

1) take several screenshots from ingame.
2) use http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~mbrown/autostitch/autostitch.html to stick screenshots together.

Good luck :cool:
