I like the map because the gameplay is different. Graphically, it is clean, simple, sober and straight to the point. As everybody said the Canadian stronghold is useless.
It is hard to play it if you are not premium due to non access to bonuses stats... except if you spend an hour counting. Problem which does not really occur on more basic maps
Basic board, but i dont understand the name of it : expending europe ?
I was expecting some drawback as of Europe 1560 or the map with the middle age europe, you know, something with an historical background.
But here the continents appear random (Italy in the same continent of Poland ?) I mean even Morocco should be in the same continent of Algeria, it will always make more sens than to put it with Ghana... which i didnt know was so big... And since when Congo has a common boarder with Sudan ? It is wrong 100% historically and geographically.
I know it is only a game, but if you dont know your geography, at least invent some names and make it fictionnal and i wont have anything to complain about because finnally, i enjoyed playing this map ;P
