New map update. As you can see I have added as many cities as I could, from maps that I could find, would be excellent to have this map become quite informative - placing less need on digging through posts to find that national map. It isn't perfect, and I will probably look at a few of those cities for removal or altering, to have the map flow a little more nicely. There are also way too many waterways and bodies without names, in the next update I will just give them names and you can opt to change them as you (community) see fit - or, of course, you can submit names before then.

The long/lat is pulled straight from an older real world map, and I am happy for it to be simply decorative, but should the forum decide to want to explore scale and measurement I won't object, I am indifferent. But I am inclined to RP Engell Himyar as having a similar climate and environment to Argentina rather than southern Africa, which is what the map overlay portrayed.

Hello there,

I'd like if possible to stake out the following claim for Tizona-Colada, with the Capital Sagrado being in the North. Don't worry, most of the country is desert so despite the seeming size of the claim I'll be roleplaying a fairly small-medium sized country power/population wise. Let me know if you feel its too big. Feel free to adjust the borders/make it seem more natural rather than the shitty paint job I did. XD


Apologies for overlooking this, I will add you as soon as possible.

Why you no add me? If I can't get the western tidbit of SWR I still made a formal application for that big empty to the left of your Himyari colonies

I think it’s in bad taste to not honor people’s absence thread posts and just divvy up their pixels whenever interest comes. I would give it more time, considering Revy has expressed to the forum that his activity will be decreased due to real life issues.

Indeed. Further, the spot initially asked for initially Sheridan, is probably a better spot for the concept.

There is no set America equivalent here on the map. SWR may be modelled on a socialist USA, but he's also included a lot of South African elements too. Engellex is also making his colonies have more of a Argentina-type climate. In short: don't be restricted. I'm sure you'll be added to the next update after some good IC posts.
[MENTION=16]Engellex[/MENTION] - beautiful map, applause from me. Can I also be renamed to Trivodnia on the map? Think it'll make things easier. Also, is a blank map update coming soon? Would help as my spot has since changed shape...

The confusion on your having a portion of the SWR is entirely my fault, as I was confused on the whole thing. SWR has a post in the absence thread, so he won't be greened entirely or otherwise. Apologies for that. But I can add you as you had previously requested. Do you a drawn outline of your spot?

That I can do. I shall have a blank map up shortly - with borders or without?

This is beautiful. :clap::clap::clap:

Speaking of that blank border map... Do you have it in vector? I'd really like to be able to blow my spot up so I can add more detail to it. :)

No problem man. And no I don't have a drawn outline :p I will post one later tonight when I'm off work if that is okay, and totally understandable in regards to SWR.

Wow really well done. It actually feels really good somebody took the time to actually look at my map (considering how many cities are on it). You kinda spared me the trouble of listing my most important cities at some point, too. Nice details on the islands and lakes too. It looks great! :D

Excellent Map-work as always, Engellex. You haven't lost your touch. But I can't help but feel like it's missing something... :smug:

First off. HOLY SHIT. That is one of the best, if not the best, map I've seen in the long history of this forum. Respect Engellex, the cities are really a nice touch.
I had a few changes if you could be bothered. The cities I would like to see added (or replacing others if you judge it's too much) because I've rp'd them as my biggest or most important cities. Rurikgrad and Klinsk are the second and third biggest cities of Kadikistan while Sbrevika is where the Cross-Kadikistani Railways come together. Kragujanin is the name of the city, while Kalavarskija is the name of the island province/oblast.

EDIT: Could you also change the name Azaeria to Naritstok, please?

This is in no way a priority and once again, nice work!

Just make a border from the lake on Loago's North East Border to the Green Sea. And then fill in the rest? My capital, Wadestone, should be on that island's coast. Was hoping to add a few cities, like a border one next to the border with Ashkelon but i can wait.
