1. Tried to make it as realistic as possible, but favoured gameplay over exact proportions, i.e. the most important islands are slightly bigger and can hold airfields.
2. Haven't touched any units, player settings etc. so you can put in your own buildings.
- suggested areas for airfields, docks etc have a dark surface (pebbles)
3. The most important thing for me was that the distances between islands are as big as possible, to simulate the necessity for capturing airfields
4. Tried to make the vegetation dense, to make US marine raiders (partisans) useful, especially on New Guinea.
5. Hopefully UDTs (SAS commandos) will also be fun to play on this map.

Planning to do a scenario with it where you have to:
- capture airfields (no building allowed),
- protect US-Australia convoys to gain resources and raise your population cap,
- attack Japanese convoys to prevent reinforcements,
- repel scripted Japanese invasions,
- and gain access to new units depending on how many islands you capture

2. Midway
3. Port Moresby

And some smaller surprises.
Plus music and voiceover.
It used to lag because of too many trigger loops, and I was desparing, but I have solved it through switching off those triggers after certain events, as some of you had suggested in forums some ten years ago.
But one problem remains:
When I play through the whole thing to test it, the further into the game I save the game, the more often it crashes.
PLEASE
does anybody know what might be causing it?
I finally want to play through the whole goddamn thing and call it finished :-D
I know there are many experienced scenarists out there.
