@cmmiles You can also beef up the AI if it's not challenging enough. Easiest method is to increase the PUs that AI receives each turn by clicking on "resource modifiers" during player selection phase of game setup. There you can give the AI a percentage or flat rate increase.
@cernel The filter changed the shade of the yellow below it. I can adjust it to be like original yellow in final product.
I picked this project up again. I changed the colors as suggested for Germany, Japan and oceans (and filtered rest). I also added some texture. Thanks to @Hepps for textures. I made them subtle so zoom in to see them in this image.
I didn't address the geometry because I have a few layers composing the relief image and I don't really want to redraw all of them. Plus this one isn't too shabby anyways.
If @Hepps is ok with it, I would love to use his TWW units here as well 
. But most likely without the roundels. Also I will update the game notes to be very noob friendly, since this map likely draws many TripleA first timers which may be looking for Axis & Allies emulations.
If any one has more suggestions, post them soon or forever hold your peace 
.
My newest version.
Btw, I don't intend this to replace the original map just nicer map skin really. Unless the units do get replaced then it is more than a map skin alternative.
My previous version for comparison.
Original ww2 Revise map skin for comparison.
@Hepps Is it ok for me to use the land and sea patterns from your work on the Middle Earth - Battle For Arda. If so can I bother you to post samples here. To be clear not terrain patterns although they are nice. Just the main background patterns (texture and waves).
@schulz I agree, that is why if I suggest increasing economies size. But that is only if the request is not implement of course. Oh and btw with increase in economy you can increase cost of units as needed, so it's not so high a percentage when using whole numbers for upkeep.
