Map Corrections

[IronBrigadeYankee]

I've seen several posts that point out corrections that need to be made on the map. It may be easier on the developers if we can consolidate them into one post. So if you see something on the map you don't like/agree with, post it here. I'll go ahead and qoute any that i can find that have already been posted.

PS
I am from central Ohio and the following are spelled differently than what is on the map
Chilicotte is spelled Chillicothe
Muskigum is spelled Muskingum (I am a graduate of Muskingum College)
Cincinatti is spelled Cincinnati

I don't know if what you have are old spellings or not but that is the way they are spelled now.

Also, the city of Wapokenta is in Auglaize County which is in the western part of the state - well west of the Scioto River, not east of it as shown on the map.

Incidentally -- while I have you on the phone -- some obvious map glitches I noticed were

Fort Watson (in South Carolina) is placed on the south side of the Santee River when it (along with Fort Motte which could, for game purposes, be considered in the same area) should be on the north side. Ft. Watson then should be in the region/space just to the north east of where it is now. What would actually be in the space it currently occupies is Nelson's Ferry, and the British did have a fortified post there temporarily in 1780 and part of early 1781. So it would be historically credible to have both sites.

Given the game's scale, both Ramseur's Mill and Ft. Prince George in S.C. should not be included as sites, since militarily and economocally they were not especially significant. (At the same time King's Mountain might be made note of for color, if nothing else.)

"Crook's" Creek in North Carolina (as given on the map), is actually named "Cross Creek" (present day Fayetteville.)

Similarly, "Charlotte" just north of the Roanoke River in Virginia, is actually "Halifax" (there beng no Charlotte at that particular location.) Also, "Warrenton" just south of it, as a town site, should be removed as not being either historically or geographically justifiable. (Note. There is also a Halifax, N.C., a few areas to the east-southeast, but that is a separate town entirely, though of the same name.)

There was a very important frontier settlement called Sycamore Flats, located directly (four game areas) northwest of Salisbury, N.C.. It was from here the Over mountain men came who fought at Kings Mountain Oct. 7, 1780. A village here would make sense.

"Catawba Village" in western Virginia (on the map) should be removed entirely. The Catawba lands were actually two (game) areas north of Camden, S.C. though for game purposes it need not be included as a special area.

I slightly take back what I said earlier about Ramsey's Mill ("Ramsay Mill")in N.C. (and now since deleted by me.) In re-examining a historical map, for game purposes it can be left as is. However the correct spelling is "Ramsey's Mill" not "Ramsay Mill."

Correction to my last ---

Again there is no "Charlotte" (Virginia) at the location just above Warrenton, N.C.

Halifax, VA (which I mentioned previously), should be one region to the left (west, at "Cole's Ford") across the Staunton River from where "Charlotte" (Virginia) now is. Halifax, VA, incidentally, is where Greene rested and supplied his army after his famous "Race to the Dan (river)."

The region occupied by thIs "Charlotte" (like Warrenton) should be left blank of any village or town. However in "Catwater" just above it would be Prince Edward Court House, which was a major American supply depot and munitions laboratory for the Americans in 1781, until Cornwallis' forces (under Tarleton) forced them to evacuate it in early July of that year.

I noticed another small map glitch. In maryland the Frederick province should be the province to the North-West of its current location (Winchester I think). The area named currently named Frederick, while part of Frederick County until 1776, is not where the city of Frederick is located. The area on the map is more representative of Prince George's and Montgomery Counties. Winchester is actually in Virginia and south of it's location on the BOA map. There is a large F&I fort that would be in the same region (the one that should be Frederick) named Fort Frederick

This fort played a role in both the F&I and Revolutionary Wars.

Sorry, just an angry rant from a crazy Frederick native

Hopefully this will make it easier when the time comes to edit the map
