Well, what iconic image does South China have? Hong Kong's skyline wasn't around back then

Who says a Hong Kong skyline can't exist in a modern Song Dynasty?
It would also probably get the point of the challenge across even better.
Wow, not many entries for this map challenge yet (I'm waiting on translation support myself ).
As to some iconic image for the Song - any of the pagodas or dragon boats at West Lake should do...
Idea: Very successful Crusader States and an Islamic West/North African New World. (the former causing the latter when the hostile Christians cut off easy trade between the Sahel/Magreb and the East).

If you're using GIMP or pPhotoshop use the boolean selection options to grab the interiors of the islands in one click. If you're using paint, go and get GIMP or Photoshop

They arn't all nessisarily going to the same country... And I tend to change my mind on them.
Intriguing suggestion.
My Idea :
More organized civilizations outside of civilized Old World
In Mississipi Valley, Willamete Valley, Southern Australia, and even Caribbean archipelago there could had been civilizations sprang up there. But are they the whole candidates ? Or there can be some more places as well ? Like in Amazon valley, Great Lakes region, or maybe even somewhere in Africa, south of Zimbabwe ?
Would "Native-Punk World" be a better enough name to summarize up the above ?
I think it requires more research then the others. I'm still working on my entry, been a bit busy this week.
Hmm. This is actually not related to MoF 6 as of now, but how do you guys do those curved letters without photoshop? Because I tried using Gimp and the latters do not look anything like those maps.
You use the Path tool to define a curve, then use the text along path option to put your text on that path...
Do you a) have anti-aliasing/feather selection on? b) put some spaces at the begining of the text string to avoid curvature defects and c) make sure your curve is the right shape. Post a pic of what it looks like and we'll see if we can spot the problem...
Here is the best I could come up with a long time ago.
As you can see, the letters are not that great, and that only happened after hard manual effort.
