North America Buildup

[Tanthalas]

Guys, my latest map; is that ok?

im runing into problems with a few fairly substantial setelments in the 1850s.  Most of them are coverd under the map but at the north eastern edge of my teritory I kinda need to expand to the next river to take in the town of Shoshoni Wyoming which was established by a settlement mission (aka the church said go here build a town convert the natives)  im willing to give up the teritory but it will be in my time line, along with Las Vegas, and several other Comunities (Vegas wasnt called Vagas but the settlement was near the location of Modern Las Vegas)

KK, we've got that and snip's rockies problem. Dar, Carth, Foxy, any problems ya'll have with the map?

[Carthaginian]

I'm happy I can be. No problems with any of it.

I would like the Four Corners area, but can live without it for now.

Hmmmm...

Mexicans and Texans.... cant live with them cant run a decent arms dealership without them....

Ok....

1..2...3.... game on you may now freely attempt to send small numbers of troops into 4 corners regions I would only recomend you try it durring a rainy spring.... 

Large numbers will require huge logistical support.  You can also shell each others costal towns and generally steal cattal and sheep from each other.

I don't understand what you are trying to say...  ;D

Actually spring is a bad time, still too cold and chance of snow. Early summer or fall is a much better time, don't want to get caught in monsoon season either.

But yeah no way to send anything larger than a brigade through, except up the Rio Grande.

Wait, that's Mexico and California. I don't want to be that far out west.  :P

Seriously, ATM Texas doesn't really gain anything from war with Mexico, at all. No point for me.

EDIT: Foxy's right, the terrain out there is a killer. Based on my expieriance in Philmont, NM, troops would be lucky to be making 14 miles a day, and most days would be closer to 9-10.

Sweet!
So is North America 'stabilized?'

[TexanCowboy]

I believe so, except for the minor issues. Good.

One of the mods want to make my last map into a high-res one?

:-p

Actually the terrain is not bad, just a giant flat plateau, a high altitude mini great plains. The problem is there is just...                     ...out there. And no railroads either. Its the perfect terrain for small cavalry units, but that's it. You simply can't supply an army out there. Tex, you are actually talking about the mountains which pretty much surround the Colorado Plateau. Those are bad and you hold the ones to the East *grumble*.

I offerd to Negotiate on San Dog if it wasnt already settled DF, and like I said just the one change I asked about.  oh and DF I have Utes, Shoshone, possibly Arapaho (if I can ge tthem and the Shoshone to get along) possibly even Cheyenne and Lakota (im iffy on the Lakota), and Bannok I definetly have them.
