Just because I can't resist,
here is the European map that would be used. It is based on 1900 Europe, and I hope you all can see it is quite accurate.
I used the medieval: total war map, but have spent way too many hours doing borders, names and suchlike.
There is a separate map which labels each and every province (modern city names, such as 'Dresden'. The seprate map also shows how many armies you receive each 'placement' turn to place down. For example, some territories may give you 0.25 armies per turn, whilst others give 2, or 1, etc.
The countries on that map are the most major players at the beginning of 1900:
Red=Britain, Blue=France, Green=Germany, Yellow=Spain, Purple=Italy, Pink=Austria-Hungary, Light Blue=Greece, Orange=Ottomans/Turkey, Maroon=Russia.
The areas with no coloured borders are neutral countries, which make no moves and only defend.
The yellow circles with black borders are ports. If you control the province of the Port, you can build navies at the port (the port's Ocean) with your 'army points' which you can use on either armies or navies each and every term. The whole point of fleets are to control the seas. If you have an enemy ship in the Ocean you are in, you automatically fight each other. Having navies in seas 'activates' the white lines, so you can move armies across seas as the white lines detail.
Yeah, the game will probably never happen here though.
