This is too weird. I swear I was reading about Russia before and saw a map of Central Asia a mere twenty minutes ago and said to myself that it would make an interesting and challenging map challenge. Weird.

haha I've never seen competing interpretations of a map contest challenge. Should be interesting to judge.
Tell me, Guderian's Beard, how do you always find such awesome pictures to place your maps in?
Well, my loyal friend google usually helps me find the right paper textures for my maps.
Imajin, I love your map soooo much...
Guderian's beard and Tangerine - I like your maps too...
Oh hell, I didn't have time to post a map Nice maps everyone, though , especially Legolas'!
Nice maps everyone, though , especially Legolas'!Sorry guys for the delay in round VI but I just haven't had time to post it. I'll hopefully have it up tonight sometime or tomorrow at the latest.
I like the prompt! I've posted my entry showing Mexico on the eve of American intervention. For those of you with good memories, this is a very cleaned-up and embellished version of a map I posted on the Map Thread awhile back. And 500 intenets to the person who gets what "Blackjack" is referring to.
I haven't even seen the map, but if it involves America, Mexico, and intervention, Blackjack must logically be General John Pershing.
You got it. Would you like your fake internet points in installments or one lump sum?
I would have also accepted "because the year is 2021" although that was kind of an afterthought.
Actually, I would like it in one lump sum. Perhaps I could invest it in... mapmaking.
Finally, some competition! Sapiento, it's truly a horrifying vision of a nuclear apocalypse... not only did they nuke our major cities, they also blew up the letter C! You bastards!
No, but seriously, great map. Kind of reminds me of A Canticle for Leibowitz, specifically the part set in Texarkana where civilization is barely starting to recover... definitely the most interesting era in many post-apocalyptic scenarios.

Thanks for the compliment, Jman.
Regarding Millers novel: i think the conclusion is logical. Areas which were unimportant before such an apocalyptic event, have at least now the chance to rise. A small comfort for the downfall of civilization, but better than nothing.
Will normal people get to see the final round. As spectators, at least? I have enjoyed seeing these maps, and the scenarios for them.
Normal people will get to see the final round, but only those who won a round, etc. will be able to participate.
Btw everyone sorry for the delay but Imperator has been a little busy recently so there has been a delay for the final round. Hopefully it will be ready soon.
