The Old Map Critique & Discussion Thread

[Rheinbund]

I need to check out the map room more often. Luckily, I haven't got any strange neighbours yet.

 

[Potenza]

Yes, it would be good to determine important ports in Europe and where the routes are.

I thought of doing a map like that for the Potenzan Merchant Fleet, for reference in RP.

 

[Hanseatic Republics]

If you want a route to Frescania it would be via El Segundo or Rancho del Rey. The major ports on the westside would be Los Evangelistas and Embarcadero. I gather they'd connect at the very least to something in the Eastern States and Cantignia... perhaps Yujin too.

 

[Polesia]

The blank map needs to be updated to include the changes to the area surrounding my spot. Also, ignore the request for the island to be moved further away from the mainland.

Germania [ Kyiv, Eiffelland, Danmark, Wiese]

Been working on a new map for Polasciana, with lots more details and landmarks. Based on the Google Map style, it integrates a number of different maps into one. It's no where near finished yet, Islands still need to be sorted and bits like that, but I'm hoping to expand into Germania (Kyiv, Eiffelland, Danmark, Wiese) and wondering who is interested in working with me to plot out their roads etc.

Obviously this takes some real time, so only really wanting to put players on who are going to be about for a long time and have no plans to ditch / change nations or anything.

Looking good and I will be up for it (no intention of being a short-term ditcher ). I'll be in touch over my own input, and it actually fits in nicely with a few of my own ideas that I want to build on.

 

[Saracia-Polamar]

Just draw a quick map of your roads and important landmarks you want included.

 

[Tulus and Biminis]

In my opinion the smaller cities and labels are very difficult to read even at the zoomed-in level. Is it at all possible to either zoom the map in further or make the font size a notch higher? Does anyone else have trouble reading them? I have perfect vision and a large monitor, to put it into context.

Double-nope, the only other option is to remove them.

Additionally, I have a medium-sized screen, and can see them all perfectly fine.

 

[Rheinbund]

Please remind me to give you a list of my main roads this weekend.

For airports: Trier has two international airports (Trier-Sperenberg and Trier-Panksdorf); Ingelheim, Bremen, Köln, Weissenfels and Lübeck have each one international airport; all other cities on my map have a regional airport.

 

[Rheinbund]

With your nose pressed against the screen? You know that your screen is gonna get fatty if you press your nose against it too often?

 

[Thaumantica]

I'm getting a fatty thinking about all of this.

Lianggang and Xianxu are my major ports. Engellex, you can have them connect to anything you want.

 

[Rheinbund]

My major ports are Lübeck, Bremen and Emden. Lübeck is the end point of the Rhein, the river that is used by the Wieser industry (and also my and maybe Danmark's industry) to transport goods into the Long Sea. The river Weser is a side-arm of the Rhein, and streams into the sea in Bremen. Emden does not have a connection to the Rhein and is a relatively small seaport. You can connect my ports to everywhere you want, although Lübeck and Bremen will be the most important seaports.

 

[Catalina]

I really like the newest map format

 

[Hanseatic Republics]

Worth noting that Suionia's capital is typo'd. Drottningarden would probably a good Anglo look to it as double g's don't mesh well.

 

[Thaumantica]

Just call it Rotting Garden (of Eden).

 

[Polesia]

Realised the actual map thread to have originally said this: the blank map needs to updating to reflect certain changes (namely the one concerning my spot )

 

[Caelia]

This should not be construed as a personal attack but...

Belmont is on the wrong continent seriously. We have a few free spaces in Eurodis- the old world and I think we all know how to resolve this dilemma.

 

[Tulus and Biminis]

I updated the map to the point of Ivernia's application :-

I'm really not too keen on the map, so will be releasing a new one within a week or so and in a new thread.

I will say, though, that this map has the best clarity and detail of them all, so I would encourage you to incorporate those aspects in whatever new version you come up with. Keep up the good work.
