To protect the fairness of our game, please make all requests for alteration to the map publicly. The Mapmaker will not make changes based on Discord, PM, Skype or any other private or offsite conversations. We will not accept requests forwarded anywhere other than official public map threads.

INACTIVITY & DISCLAIMER

Role play activity will prevent deletion from the map, there is no minimum activity needed to prevent removal as it is due to Mapmaker discretion, though an announcement of departure in the Absence Thread will excuse a drop off of activity. Prior to removal, the inactive player will usually be placed on the Inactivity Listing, allowing new players to assume their map spot should the player not return to in-character activity. The Mapmaker & Administration can remove, edit, add, or deny changes to the map based on existing rules or past lessons learned - clarification on the reasoning of these exceptional decisions can and will be given upon reasonable inquiry.

INACTIVITY LISTING

Any and all nations on this listing can be removed and replaced by a new player upon request for a map spot :-

Map Claim and Added Cities
I would like to claim the Islands that are surrounded by the Black Line. The name would be Finheight Isles
I also wanted to add some Extra Cities:
White Dot: Estria
Green Dot: Wentral
Red Dot: Callham
Black Dot: Sycallus
Orange Dot: Tanaja
Purple Dot: Lazekista
Gray Dot: Finheldam
Cream Dot: Vannahelis
Pink Dot: Littordum

If this is not accepted then that is fine, at least add the cities if you deny this request.

As for granting your additional islands, I open it up to the community for their respectful opinion on the matter. It would be nice to hear out other voices on map issues from time to time other than the voices in my head. :whistle:

The spot in between Tarusa, Eiffelland and Kurkhazia please. Capital is Oleksandrivsk. Ideal location would be somewhere in the country's middle.

Cheers

If you might be so kind to add a few extra named dots to the map for me on the next update, with the new additions being:

Purplish blue dot in the N/NW near Eseria: Kastrono
Orangish dot in the N/slight NW interior: Torrence
Light Blue Peninsular Dot: Gadez
Pink Southern Interior Dot: Berigos

Lol, sorry for using the original version with the former nation there, it was the original I'd used to plot the first crop of cities.

I would also like to request an minor expansion for Karsamas as well, to make use of it for some of the Near Eastern colonial ideas I have that aren't well suited to the kind of heavily collaborative area that Isphilistia is. Karsamas would remain the capital city of the province, which would be called Khurria.

I've asked Norse to help me develop an authentic but unique character for the locals, as I think he's demonstrated quite a bit of aptitude in fleshing out all things Islamic. The history and context would remain the same, just slightly expanded and better iterated as a result of there being two minds focused in. I leave it to your judgement as to how all this should be expressed, whether through Karsamas' small island being enlarged somewhat, or the small island being sunk and just folded into one of the existing larger islands. Many thanks dude.

Note adjustment to my previous post, have learned my lesson about having good ideas and then failing to put them into writing.

As for your map expansion, I don't plan to make any land edits for the time being. I get the feeling you've got some ideas with Norse, but you've forgotten that I didn't read any of those ideas and so I'm very lost as to what you are trying to ask me to do specifically. So I'm more than happy to give you another colony? Or make some kind of new mandate for you specifically, or whatever you are trying to do... but I don't plan to altar landmasses this update. I'm looking at new software and don't want to make too many crazy changes until I understand how things work better. Perhaps in a later update when I'm doing larger motif changes in general.

This isn't the appropriate thread to list out the details of the project, and I was trying to be courteously transparent out of guilt over asking for something. I figured you had some purpose in mind for the new island additions in the sea in question and thought it would be best to leave it up to you where things would best fit. My bad, will give the map a look and get up a specific location asap. This won't be a new or separate colony though, to clarify, but an expansion of something already on the map - which I will look to finding an ideal new location for, as noted.

Not a problem at all, there are quite a few islands in that chain and would find it quite alright to add some (perhaps up to around half) of them to yours, although not all of them as I'd like to keep that open if possible to any new nations that would like to move to Eurodisney. If you'd like things on the southern side of the Merdian I am more open to granting you larger amounts to highlight the more Islamic imperial ideas you had. I'm not particularly difficult, just would like slightly more specific instructions.

The easiest solution would be to just make the larger island Khurria:

In paying attention to it, I feel like the only big thing that jumps out at me is that it feels like the sea is too broad north to south, between Vistarika and Northern Himyar. I dunno how easy a time it would've been for long distance Bronze Age maritime travel for Pseudo-Phoenecians to have founded Karsamas originally, or for Muslim conquerors/missionaries/merchants to have arrived many centuries later. Don't know what, if anything can be done about that though, especially a thing that won't alter something else.

REQUEST for CITIES in DUNE SEA

You must be registered for see images


Dear mapmaker,

I humbly request the following cities to be added to the Dune Sea and for the northern border to be changed as shown.

City sizes:
Zandhaven: large
Mtata and Bloemfontein: medium
Grensvoort: small

COLONY APPLICATION
You must be registered for see images


1. What is the name of your Island Colony?:
a. Merdiaansche Antillen / Meridian Antilles (city is small)
b. Batavië / Batavia (city is medium)

2. Who are the leaders of this application? (≈100 words): not sure what is meant here but would be a mix of the private and royally chartered VZC (Vereenigde Zuidmeridiaansche Compagnie / United South Meridian Company) and the Vrijpoort government. The colonies remain today as Overseas Crown Colonies of the Principality of Vrijpoort.

3. Please outline the general history of your island: please see link in point 5.

4. Consider the cultural implications of your application. How is this enriching our world and/or is this just a vague trope of European imperialism? How might you avoid this narrative trap?:
this would provide us with some structure to the history of Nethian slavery in Europe with both colonies having played an important role. They are also important in the history of naval navigation and the southern circumnavigation of Himyar. Both colonies have adapted or are adapting to economies without slavery and are in vastly different places. The Meridian Antilles, being smaller, have profited from being a tax haven and from Gallo-Germanian tourism while Batavië has a bloody history (I'll expand on that later) and is still grappling with its past with ethnic segregation and divisions remaining till today. I see RP opportunity in both that could involve other players.

5. Please provide a link to relevant wiki, thread, or post. (1 minimum):
