Campaign Map screenies

Uh?

As far as I can tell, there seems to be a need to sail between Iceland and that strangely formed landmass streching out from Africa and into the atlantic ocean, somewhat disrupting trade links??? But the Spanish has their land bridge back from MTW - which is nice enough. The shiny thing in South Africa could represent the diamond mines, but I can't remember if they were discovered in this timeframe?

The atlantic ocean ridge is also clearly marked, perhaps as a string of small island empires?!?

I'm glad CA finally dropped the "we must stick to history" approach in the campaign map!

The Diamond deposits were found in 1867. South African Diamond rush occurred in 1880, in the Oranje and Transvaal Boer Republics (Now part of South Africa). This valuable resource, along with Gold, and the fear of increasing Portuguese influence in Transvaal were behind the Boer Wars between the Boer Republics and Britain. Since the game end date is seemingly 1800, it goes far off the Diamond Rush which caracterized South Africa.

I think it is good for what it is. I mean clearly it's not done, if you look at that first one you can see one of the buildings isn't even completed. There is a long span between now and Feburary so plenty of time to wrap things up like the mini map. I think for a bare bones look at the map it is just fine.

I to would like to know more, see more, and in general just understand a bit better what the final product looks at. Hopefully come Dec or so we can get a better look at the campaign map, or maybe even in the next dev diary, who knows.
