Here is a new project we would like contribution from the modders and players
The idea is the following:
* we would like to offer players/modders a map of Europe that could fit quite a lot of eras and potential games of strategy in Europe, using the AGE engine...no need to list them, you can imagine how many we could find
* to do so, we could produce a nice map, using the NCP map base and cut, but at a
larger scale: roughly, the map size itself would be 30% bigger, and the number of regions should be more or less doubled...
You could find the map base here:

* We will provide a ready-to-use set of regions using this new map, plus all relevant game data, so that future games and mods can use it. Ideally, those games can work with a 1-week to 1-month turn length (
this will depend on the time period chosen), and with twice as many regions we can achieve a very interesting operational challenge for a lot of campaigns..
* As an example of what we would like to get from you, check this file:
Some tips here:
- new cut into old regions (like cut into 2 parts): red lines, 2 pixels
- new draw of regions (like overlapping older one): purple lines, 2 pixels
- old borders to be removed: use yellow slashes over sections to be removed
* How to proceed further
- we would like group of volunteers to take over the task of drawing the new regions borders on the map
- each group can tackle a certain geographic area, in order to be more efficient
- once an area is produced, we can start making the cuts into an official map section
- when all is finished, the map is ready and will be given for players to tests in future mods
- we may find use of the map in future AGEOD projects too
I'll be glad to receive as many volunteers as we can
