Give me a few days. I'll work on it in spurts.
EN, you have sooooo many maps out. Are you trying to work yourself to exhaustion?
I'm trying to avoid boredom
Ha. You'll have to roll 5's or higher on all three attack dice to win that one. GL!
...otherwise, it might be prudent to give a nod to the Original Board designer in the board's description.
This looks awesome. Good job!
Like so?
I don't think he could complain about attribution like that! I might get tired of seeing that huge varmint, though...
I think I like this
What are the rules? Bonus units per territory, number of fortifies, etc.
Also... I only know one person in the cards, and I'm guessing Davy Crockett is the Wild card.
Stephen Austin, Sam Houston, Robert de La Salle... Got it.

Here's with default settings, continents (not hordes)

Third guy is Jim Bowie. (I tried several times to add visible titles or captions to the pics. How do you do that here?)

(I have no idea what some of those things mean; I just copied it whole.)
One trivial note: I remember finding out the hard way that Galveston County (the easternmost county in the Orange 6 region) and Chambers County (the center southernmost county in the bottom right Cyan 5 region) do touch each other, although if you want to change that, that's certainly up to you.
I do not know and couldn't find out from WF what the names of each region are.
I used the names from a Texas County Map. I am not super confident in the borders I placed. I'll get the rules updated.
To add names to a card, on the designer page go to cards, then upload image underneath and change names in the upper left.
I have them not touching, you think they should? I think that black line isn't a part of the county, it goes most of the way down the coast.
I think it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, but it was a bit of a surprise to the uninitiated. ;-)
Leave it not touching. That's ok. I appreciate this so much!
Awesome, posting to the forums seems to be working again. I had made an earlier list but it got lost when I tried to post it. Sort of remade it in a hurry, but I think I might have missed a few this time around. Also, not all these are definitive as some are a bit speculative. Earlier I had listed the definitely missing borders versus the more speculative ones, but this time I just clumped them as missing only.
Missing borders:
Sam Patrico <-> Jim Wells
Guadalupe <-> Wilson
Guadalupe <-> Gonzales
Angelina <-> Jasper
Angelina <-> Houston
Anderson <-> Leon
Leon <-> Limestone
Hood <-> Palo Pinto
Crockett <-> Crane
Kaufman <-> Dallas
Smith <-> Rusk
Cottle <-> Hall
Also, the border you and camel are talking about, I don't think it is there either. So, leave it out.
*pedantic alert*
OK, just to play devil's advocate, I looked up a map of Galveston County...
...which clearly shows it running up the east stretch of land up under Chambers County. There's even an state highway connecting them. :-)
