Hi Curt, I´m looking at the map right now and thought about this:
* I would suggest to take the German/Italian names. In my opinion it would give the game additional flavour (though I do not know if your keyboard supports these german ä´s, ö´s and ü´s)
instead of Schwerin I would call that city either Rostock or Stettin.
Cologne => Köln
Nuremberg => Nürnberg
Munich => München
Vienna => Wien
Prague => Prag
Konigsberg => Königsberg
Poznan => Posen
Warsaw => Warschau
Milan => Milano
Rome => Roma
* Helsinki should be moved to grid 145,45.
* I think to replace Warsaw with Brest-Litovsk owned by the USSR would also be acceptable but then you should rename Poznan to Cracow (Krakau in german).
[The citadel of Brest-Litovsk held out much longer than the city and the River Bug is a major obstacle ...]
* Kazan lies at the Volga. I suggest you move the city to grid 164,54.
* I would place Saratov at grid 163,57.
* Samara would I leave out and include Orenburg at grid 169,91 instead.
* Bandirma would also serve as Izmir 
* Damascus is far too north, move it to 156,82 and Jerusalem to 155,85.
* It´s Addis Abeba, not Addis Ababa.
* Lhasa should be at 194,98 I think.
* Mandalay should be renamed to Imphal at least or left out.
* Rangoon should be at 197,103, Mandalay at 197,97.
* Kuala Lumpur is more south than you placed it. I suggest grid 201,117.
*Tarakan should be Brunei, Surabaya should have the name Bandjarmasin.
* If you want to include Java, then place a city called Jakarta at 204,130 .
* Shantou => Amoy
Xiamen => Fuzhou
I would move Anyang to 209,81 and call it Chengdu.
Peking => Beijing
Baotou is too far west for japanese conquest, IMHO.
Jinzhou => Shenyang ("your " Shenyang should be left out)
* Harbin should be moved to 217,67 and renamed to Changchung.
* Harbin should be at 219,63.
* Formosa should be Japanese (Japanese territory since 1894!)
* Okayama => Shimonoseki
Kagoshima => Mijsaki
Okinawa => Naha
* Truk should be Japanese too (main naval base!).
* Rabaul was British.
* Perth should be at 212,164.
Darwin at 223,139.
Sydney => Brisbane
Brisbane - should be erased 
Syney should be at grid 235,167, IMHO.
Canberra => 232,168.
* Wellington should be at 251,177.
* Havana should be neutral (Cuba became independent in 1934).
* I would make the southern US border at the Rio Grande .
* IMHO: Tampa => Tallahassee
Chicago => 65,71
Honolulu (NOT Pearl Harbor; Pearl Harbor is the naval base of Honolulu) => 13,99.
* Panama is far more in the South, I would suggest grid 73,133.
* Why is Quebec neutral? It should be british.
* Winnipeg => 56,60.
* Karachi => Carachi
Delhi => New Delhi
* Kandahar => Kabul
Kabul => Alma Ata (USSR!)
* Valletta => La Valletta
* Reikjavik should be at grid 114,42.
That´s all for now. I know it´s a long list. Hope I helped, good luck!

*I think that 211, 163 would be a better location for Perth
*You should include at least one New Zealand City. Auckland, the largest city, is at 252,172 and Wellington, the capital, is at 251,177
*Port Moresby should be at 233,135 (and New Guniea should have a lot more hills and mountains!
*Johannesburg should be at 148,158
*Durban should be at 149,163
*Capetown should be at 142,168
*Kagoshima should be at 223,85
*Kuala Lumpur should be at 201,177
*Surabaya should be at 209,131 (BTW, Batavia [204,130] was the main city in the Dutch East Indies)
*Jerusalem should be at 155,85
*Tripoli should be at 138, 84
*Tobruk should be at 146,85
*Alexandria should be at 149,87
(BTW, Libya seems to 'bulge' too much)
*Mecca should be at 159,97
*Riyadh was a tiny town and isn't worth including. If you must include it, it should be neutral.
*Likewise, Kuwait wasn't anything special
*Khartoum should be at 152,104
*Be careful with assigning Addis Ababa's starting ownership: from memory, the British captured it in late 1940. Just becuase Nemo got it wrong doesn't mean that you have to
*Guam and Saipan should be 3 spaces west of where they are now
*Davao should be at 218,114
*Northern Luzon should be mountaineous
*Truk was under Japanese control from 1919 onwards

@Gagliaudo;
Excellent info, thanks.
@Case;
I will look through these and change what is needed.
@Cifer;
Cheers for the suggestions, I am checking it out very soon.
Latest update about the map.
I am going to use a mixture of concepts suggested by your good selves.
Certain cities have 'WW2 appeal'...I must keep cities like Warsaw to maintain the feel of the affair.
I will use German names for German cities, as they do add flavour,
but I will keep the English names for Prague, Warsaw and Vienna, etc.
This is for the simple reason: UK, Russia or America would not call the city by it's German name.
I will agree that the map is sparse in space at some areas.
But it is good to show a fully global-scale conflict, and some strategic areas are represented by a single major city.
CIV2 is limited, basically. I can only squeeze in so much.
I would love to have unlimited map space, unit slots and events.
But this is not so...
There is only so much that can be represented...In this game anyway.
But I will try to find a good mix between fun and reality...
