Probably the absolute worst way to split it up ever.

I just wonder is the population 50/50 NA/EU ?

Could you check all those prefered server settings to make a count?

Before you get all whiney -

please say EXACTLY what the problem is. If you manage to make me see it too, I'll deal with it.

The north east doesn't really have as much water, or was that intended?

I agree with MAtey, this map is definitely in favor of EU community.  80% of coast land goes to EU, the only EU/NA clan of good size has their territory entirely in NA so we get more EU people to crowd the NA territory more.  And for trade purposes less distance for trading between NA and NA so less gold in long run than all the EU clans.

*****
At the very least if you don't want to give more coastal region, give su Dhirim and drop Tulga, so the only EU/NA faction over a 100 people size will not be entirely cramped into the small NA side of the map.

NA has not only now been restricted to a small percentage of the map, we also get the shittiest most spread out chunk of it too. Additionally, despite having the importance of coastal territories talked up for a while now, NA gets almost none of it.

Coastline doesn't matter, coastal towns do. Those are 3:4.

Dont see much wrong with it

EDIT: The coastal towns in the NA part are all on one side. Makes it easier for one faction to cap em all. The north of NA land will probably be quite crowded because of the towns and the south kinda deserted.

Ah, I'm fine then

[Matey]

OK. Heres the thing with this map. The lands on the NA side are very spread out except some of the middle areas. That means logistics will suck, and it will mean more traveling around. Also, the Coastal cities on the NA side are all super spread out. If you want to see what GOOD land is... look at Shariz, and Yalen. lots of fiefs close enough together for easy logistics.

Lastly... this map will cause very little displacement of 'ancient territorial claims' for the big EU clans, which reduces the chance of war... the only big factions that are being displaced here are... LLJK, Fallen/HRE (who could actually decide to stick with their old land instead of taking land on both sides of the borders.. and DRZ who will prolly just go take the entire desert and have way better land and more of it than ever before. The rest of the big EU clans will just keep doing whatever they did last time.

Very nice looking map.

Risen claiming Yalen area again.
