I like the fact that you can select individual countries upon creating a world. However, sometimes you want two or three countries in your world but not the whole continent. Therefor my suggestion is the radio buttons are to be replaced by checkboxes so you can select multiple countries.

Also the list of countries needs to be expanded in my opinion. Currently the choice is limited to some large countries, I would like to have more choices.

We set the criteria at about 50 airports in a country before you could select it on its own. We wanted to make sure there would be enough choice of routes for players in such a small world. The reason we only allow one country or a whole continent but nothing in between was due to our ability to store the map type in the database. I can manually go back and add additional countries to the world but it wont get reflected on any information screens like the Select World page or the World Info page. It wouldn't be terribly hard to allow multiple countries in a world but it is very difficult to clearly present the list of countries if someone selects a large number.

You can see if you select a full world however on the second screen we have a bunch of custom maps like EU27 etc. The intention early on was to allow users to create more custom maps. I think an implementation of custom maps finally would satisfy your suggestion.

If you have a world or would like to create one with specific countries in mind, email us and I will price up the map and implement them.
