The Old Map Critique & Discussion Thread

[Vangala]

I'd like to ask [MENTION=1243]Ivernia[/MENTION] and @Saarema to reconsider changing the shape and location of their Himyari colonies, making them less coastal and more inland, and perhaps a tiny bit closer to Cathiopia if you want opportunities for fun!

and @Saarema to reconsider changing the shape and location of their Himyari colonies, making them less coastal and more inland, and perhaps a tiny bit closer to Cathiopia if you want opportunities for fun!

I'll look at the map and try and work out a new shape to see if it'll work.

I can't see the map it doesn't open for me, is anyone else having this problem?

I believe Eiffelland made a request to correct that Danzig issue by having sea access in the south-east of Danzig, which was always historically the case (it's a city state after all).

Right, it was here:

So @

, do you want a direct overlay of a border layout from an older version of the map - or would you want to go in to paint or wherever you can to draw it yourself?

Thank you @Nichstein for reminding me. :applause:

, if I draw it, the map will become a mess. So I think it would be better to take a direct overlay of a border layout from an older version of the map. What is your opinion?

Yes I've tried that it just takes me to a blank page with a grey rectangle in it saying "(To view the full resolution please click on the image)" I've tried clicking on anything but no joy.

Can you access the globe instead?

[FONT="]If I may, I’d like to request the map spot below me and all the islands around it, for the following reasons:[/FONT]

[FONT="]OOC Reason for expansion:[/FONT][/B]
[FONT="]Well, it gives me a coast on the implarian once more, and it also gives me the ability to be Occidentia’s southern tip, a location I hopefully intend to use in RP and consider to be rather important. Also, quite simply, I’m just interested in being the “Southern Cone.” [/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]I also like the idea of having an incredibly low population density, and an incredibly diverse climate and geography, exploring vast mountains, plateaus, coastal lowlands, tropics, grasslands, deserts, etc. [/FONT]

[B][FONT="]IC Reason for expansion:[/FONT]
[FONT="]This should be slightly more obvious and realistic. Frescanian settlers easily would have continued to expand across the continent, especially if it meant getting to the southern tip and the implarian coast. [/FONT]

May I just register my personal opposition to such a proposal. We already have a lot of large nations in terms of territory, and I think drastically altering the size of the Aurarian Republic would potentially ruin the good concept you have going at the moment.

Can I request a change of colour? I don't like the current one at all.

If it's an existing color somewhere else and one of your neighbors doesn't have it, then yes.

 

[Llancaer]

Thanks the globe worked a treat!

The shade of green used on Vistrasia, if that isn't a problem.

Did you see this [MENTION=1265]Auraria[/MENTION]?

Also, I want to do an update early next week for those who are waiting.

Aye, that I did. I just didn't really put any attention into responding. The problem is having a weaker, smaller nation limits RP potential, considering among the active players, there aren't weak nations, and if they are "weak" then not by any standard to the RL weak nations of 1953. Therefore, in the interest of being able to RP with other nations on a new level, including economic wars, diplomatic tension, being able to actually fight one another, among other things, I'm looking to expand Auraria.

Disagree all you will, and I know some will, but I think RP's where Auraria could/does challenge Sylvanian influence over Occidentia, creating more rifts among the republican nations, or sending two destroyers to meet Carentania's one heading for the south pole and telling him to "get the fuck out" is a shit ton more interesting that RPing about your typical banana harvesting and going around to everyone saying "gib money plox." It's also an element of RP I've never explored before, as none of my nations were actually capable of going onto a global scale.
