Hi sPzAbt653

Obviously the map is a difficult and long process (depends on size mainly), we share the work on a dropbox to allow quicker achievement.
The main problem is the coastlines wich had to be done manually.
Other items like rivers streams, terrain and ressources are more "easier"
I found an usefull tool on the forum "the map scanner" wich make lets say 30% of the job for the coastlines.

I am also working on an other map with a bigger scale that I will show on a separate thread (Europe 250x204).
This could be use and shared for divisionnal scenario scale for example.

Status: offline 		Hello! To prove that we are still working hard on this mod, I have now uploaded some screenshots of our map development:

After importing the raw map, the partly unsightly coastal lines were straightened. Afterwards, we have placed a few important cities (New York, London, Madrid, Paris) to use as a point of orientation for further map content. After working out the British Isles, I went to France. A lot of work is waiting here!

I got this project, see on separate thread (Europe 20kms/hex), but first we have to finalize 1776 map.

The Fortress and other custom ressources sprites had been designed by Monsieur TheBattlefield wich made a really cool job.

A small update with Nato Zoom sprite (will be included in the MOD)
