I usually don't have big problems with the maps - an exchange of a vassal map picture now and then (perhaps when it looks like something is wrong) is enough I think

7 10/16/2025 9:19:00 AM Spring 1861 Union Message Hi. And good luck.

How do you want to handle map tracking. I usually set up a shared dropbox folder, but I know a number of people don't like that.
