This is where we talk about what else you want in the map for next round. I am already working on multiple planes and automatic movement and I will add a section that will contain the sent movement (by cookies so don't delete them) so people can check it.
If you want anything else added, let me know and I'll get back to you whether it is possible or not.
Also, any new rules I should be aware of regarding the map should be posted here.

We art currently waiting until closer to the start of the round to put proposals to vote (that way more likely that those who vote will also be the ones playing).
Most noteworthy aspects directly affecting the map could be;
Avatar; needing another spot for armies and perhaps a note on players.
Victory points; just as a simple record alongside the map would be best.
Terrain features; is it feasible to have mobile features without additional effort requried?
At least, those art the ones that come instantly to mind that may hath direct map impact. If anyone else thinks of one we hath missed, or not properly considered, give a poke if thee could.
For Mirrodin would it be possible to allow movement across the edges? (with Phyrexian and Dominaria remaining only segments)

The other thing that comes to mind would be the form for strategy submissions via the site too if possible. If nothing else it would be easier to confirm sent strategies while we art a-sleepering.

Could you elaborate please?

Yes, it's doable.

Avatar;
Just something where the different army attributes art stored. We suspect just adding another box for each army to insert that in would do the trick.
In the case of players (if things go that way - let us know when thee need it confirmed and we can initiate a formal vote) we suppose as part of the account creation so it appears next to their name in the control list.
Victory Points;
A simple tally to see relative differences at a glance. A manual aspect for planar domination with a set addition for each killed army and healing point (or entirely manual if can't be bothered too much, heh). Just above the map or below would probably be best. If thee can make it so that we can change it without going into the whole cpanel thing all the better.
Terrain Features;
From Tevish's suggestion about the Mana Rig (to see feasibility, actual use is another matter). An army can capture it and carry it around as it moves. Able to 'drop' (move out of the square and leave it behind) or transfer (as a unit) to other armies - if the army is defeated it is captured by the opponent of course. Basically a town that can attach itself to an army and move with it (within the plane).
Did that help? Or did we just manage to elaborate into slightly longer confusing ramble? >.>

Okey
Avatar I can add a series of custom icons before the army name when you click on an army in the map. Hovering over those icons will tell you what bonuses the army has.
VP: easily doable and will make it so that you can edit it through the map mechanics
TF: also doable

'K, all good. At this point nothing else comes to mind.
Unless of course thee can make it spit out battle announcements complete with weather rolls, and bumping. Merely because we art happy to find various ways to be lazy >.>.

So while hoping that other people besides me and TGL read this thread, here are the maps Daniel and I "finished" today. I'm only posting them so we can make them better so don't be shy and give your two cents. Phyrexia map:  Phyrexia map is a bit more complete but we still have some issues with it. Any suggestion is more than welcome. Mirrodin map:  The Mirrodin map is rather lacking in names. My knowledge of the MTG universe is rather lacking and these are the names Daniel provided and helped me place. If you have any more ideas/suggestions of place names and such, we'd be glad to add some more.

As far as the maps go:
1.) Phyrexian Map -- Planeshift has the name of a Phyrexian city on the first sphere. Gorgoth or something. It was a city that was to be destroyed by Urza's soul bomb (one of many targets). You could put that on the map somewhere. There might also be more on the Phyrexian first sphere in The Thran granted the time difference is something like 10,000 years or so before the Invasion. I'll go digging around later to throw out exact details.
2.) Mirrodin Map -- Lots of specific places like the Lacuna (or whatever they are called) where the suns rose from the plane and into the sky. Other important areas might be places like Taj Nar, Bladehold, and whatever else is mentioned in the books/cards.
3.) Do we care about specific places like what I'm suggesting? Because if not, then the maps are fine as far as features go for determining land.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can add me on skype at king.dominaria for the automovement stuff for the map. I doubt we'll be able to get everyone together for testing it, but if just a few are needed, then I can be available for it so long as it isn't done on a wed/thur/fri day (I'm busy wed and fri, but I imagine those might be thurs/fri for some).
Is there anything else I should be commenting on or reading?

Volume I - The Book of Faith: The faithful don't succumb to terror, nor are they ruled by passion. They adhere to order, for order is life.

Volume III - The Book of Decay: Terror corrupts order and paralyzes instinct.
Volume IV - The Book of Fire: Passions can't be shackled by laws or mastered with logic. The choice is freedom or death.
Volume V - The Book of Life: Instinct is undaunted by terror, unchained by logic. Is is the path from which all other paths diverge.
We all make choices, and I present to you one such choice. Be a hero for Dominaria, or be its darkest nightmare. Join either the Coalition or join Phyrexia.
There is no wrong choice, but I will tell you this: not choosing, and being indecisive, is one of many things that any mortal can do that is wrong. - From the Tome of King

We're mostly looking for territory names and not structure names. Structure names could be used for strongholds/bases/towns etc. Since the names you mentioned there are to me like math to a 3year old I can't tell whether I can use them or not... but I would like to at least populate the Mirrodin map some more.
If you can dig through your brain and remember area names, or search the web/books/whatever for it, all I need is the name and a relative area on where to place them.
While the Mirroding map is as accurate as we were able to make it based on the flavor Daniel known, the Phyrexian one has mostly invented names and the such, so if you have any suggestions there, I need them in a similar manner. The name, and the relative area on where to put it (or which name to replace).
