welcome to WG. I found board setup much less tedious here, and so I made lots of mistakes. Heh. Despite warnings to the contrary i was able to fix the image and borders during the test game. I haven't tried the "beta" system yet. Have fun.
I'm working on a new format that's a little tough to get used to. If you'd like to play and help test it out Mongrel and I are always looking for testers.
It's great, any solid color will fill, it doesn't have to be white, it doesn't even have to be the same color. You can set multiple borders at once, and modifiers. There's a chain mode for laying borders down. Since it's all in flash, the page won't reload each time you click something. There's no territory/continent/border max, and the image max is just over a MB. You can have a board up to 2000x2000 but it won't fit in the screen.
Welcome aboard. If you continue to make maps, it's much easier over here. The whole thing is in Flash. You also have new options like artillery borders, view only borders, attack/fortify only borders. You also have capital cities, where if you lose your last capital, n% of your empire is assimilated by the other player (n is set by the board designer). There are also lightning games which will auto skip, then boot you after 15 minutes. No tournaments or BAO yet, but in the process. Custom card cycles are available. If you need anything go check out the forums, they're frequently posted upon.
