Isnt it a little big for only one third of the population? ;)
There are exactly 8 towns, 18 castles and 41 villages in that NA area.
Doesn't really use any natural borders. Prefer pretty mucha ll the other maps. Also, chadz says he needs to balance out access to sea between NA and EU, which this wouldn't. Also, chadz said in IRC he already made his decision and it was none of the maps provided.
aww, not cool :s
However I don't see how you could find a border with more natural barriers than this : the rhodock mountains between jelkala and veluca, mountains between shariz-durquba and halmar, the cliffs of uhhun castle then mountains on the west and north of ichamur. Only a few NA villages aren't in this protected zone : saren, mazigh, bhulaban, shulus, uslum and hanun, and many castles literally sit on the breach in the natural border.
