Hey guys,
with Mexbuild's map mod taking a little bit longer along with my boredom, I decided to work on one of my thoughts about a new map.
What if we scale a map of Europe only over the whole game map?
Major advantages:
Here is a small preview of my current work; it is on 50% zoom, so it is much more detailed in real resolution:
But I also see many problems I'd like to discuss with you:
So what do you think about it? Is it worth to be realized?

What if we scale a map of Europe only over the whole game map?
Major advantages:
- The most important wars in the first half of the 20th century were fought in Europe.
- We can allocate more than 2500(!!!) provinces over the whole European continent.
- The more provinces, the more countries are possible (think of all the German minor states from the 19th century).
- The larger scale would allow more realistic front scenarios.

But I also see many problems I'd like to discuss with you:
- No provinces of other parts of the world, so there would be no USA, Japan etc. (at least with no owned provinces; off-map-countries are still possible)
- With no provinces outside of Europe, there are no colonies you could get resources from.
- The scrolling of the map: as the Hoi2 engine puts the 2D map to a cylinder, you are able to scroll in horizontal direction, so I'm forced to set half of the map "out of bounds".
- Either there is a way to manipulate the distances between the provinces (which are generated automatically by the engine) or we have to increase all unit speeds.
So what do you think about it? Is it worth to be realized?
