We have all the world/Europe, Asia, Americas, Australia ect. But we don't have a game based on the states of South Asia. South Asia has 25% of the Worlds Population we need a game based on it.

bhutan can count as one section

There is one of these currently in development, and I think the map plays pretty good. It was open beta for a while.

Oh indian continent map maker: Please put your board back into beta.

How do I create one. And if I cant we need to make one in a couple of days.

Why in a couple of days?

Its a rule if we cant do it fast it may never be done.

The fastest map I've published, Coffee Capital, took 8 hours of work, plus play testing and review. It also has the simplest graphics of any of my work. As a general rule, it takes me between 40 and 100 hours to paint and build a map. I have one project that I have easily put 2-300 hours into over the last couple of years starting and restarting in pursuit of a standard of quality that could never be accomplished in "a couple of days."

If all you want is borders connecting the dots on the MS Paintish map of the subcontinent, sure, it can be shat out in 30 minutes.

As for me, it's a rule that if you rush it, it will be rubbish. Quality maps take a couple of months, not a couple of days.

Can I make one

Sure you can:

Start here and read through all the tabs.  It's a pretty good tutorial.  The designer is built right into the site and is "somewhat" intuitive.

When you run into stuff, post your questions here and most of the time you'll get several good answers.

I need the link to the board designer.

I have been helping Kav with this one:

For me "Designs" is next to "Messages".  The URL is http://www.wargear.net/boards/myboards and from there I can create/edit my boards.

The board designer for a new board is the button near the top saying "Board Designer".

Note that there are a ton of platform specific issues with the Board Designer.  M57 should be able to set you straight on those.

Yep - if you have any questions about specific functionality you are welcome to PM me - but even better - just post to the forums -- there are a lot people who are willing to help with these things.. If you provide the URL or number of the board you are working on - we can probably help even more.

As Cram alluded.. Dev testing is very important - and especially for first time designers - it's the best way to get a lot of constructive criticism.

There are some good South Pacific/Oceania base maps out there. Here's a few to give the idea:

You must do this yourself -- Click on "Designs", then click on the icon that looks like a bug under "Public Beta."

Really, a better thing to do is to click on "Start Game"  and invite some players... I recommend making it a game for 3 or 4 players for a map this size.

http://www.wargear.net/games/join/265542 someone please join so I can test. 

I actually had a similar Idea. I'm creating boards about underrepresented subcontinents (we have way to much USA and Europe) and I am working on a Middle East and Central America one. I was planning to do one on the Indian subcontinent (India+Pakistan+Bangladesh+others), but it appears several are in the makes!

The board is in beta the borders are fixed and it is on review.
