The Old Map Critique & Discussion Thread

[Serenierre]

Is there a full version of this proposed map somewhere? And could someone fill me in on what has happened these past 29 pages?

 

[Khemia]

Basically, Coro and Khalistan have taken a black/white of the map and changed a lot of stuff to create multiple new plots NW of Montelimar, S of Warre, change Himyar up, and more Scanogermanic plots. Russiastrong land and Asia haven't been touched.

 

[Josepania]

Also, lots of BAWWWing and hurt feelings and general anal-ness over history and pixels.

 

[Serenierre]

I do hope this is not official.

 

[Saxe-Friesken and Polaben]

I do hope this is not official.

If you think this statement carries weight in this thread, you need to be versed in proper bitching classes. Srsly, nothing will be taken seriously unless if give some specifics.

 

[Éireann]

I do have a question for the map makers, is the top and bottom of the map the poles, the arctic and antarctic circles, or something in between?

 

[Vistrasia]

Nah, if more just opinions were being expressed I wouldn't have taken the time to edit Monty's spot more to his desires I suppose? Which is pretty much the only difference on this map from the last.

I have to say that I really like this map. And with that whole Europe Reloaded business coming up it seems like many of the concerns people have ("BAWWW THE HISTORY I NEVER GAVE A SHIT ABOUT DOESNT WORK ANYMORE") will be taken away as well.

 

[Akwesasne]

So can we all take vote on this finally? Make a poll? Do somethig? That way we can have a egenral idea on how many people want this change to be implemented.

 

[Josepania]

The only problem I have with the current proposed map is that my California spot got warped and screwed up. There's a reason I requested it be like a carbon-copy California, namely that it'll inspire me to RP (because of Californian status, as well as reminiscent of Classic Josepania).

Aside from that, it's an excellent improvement, though I still believe our "Eurasia" is a problem but, unless we go with an entirely new map, I doubt that'll be altered significantly.

 

[Great Engellex]

Firstly, I agree with the above statements, the map is a great improvement, particularly to Boreas and Euromass.

I know this query, and, request, will be unwelcome as it will be such a bother as everything has somewhat chilled in this thread. However, on the map clip below, would the circled island be part of the mapspot I have linked to? If not, what is the possibility that it could? The reason for this is that since the reload-topic-movement, I will be wanting to change certain aspects of Engellex, the biggest difference would be a small Anglo-Saxon kingdom dominating a union of states, not a big union mind, compared to a union of equal A-S states.

With realism in mind, for immigration etc., I came to the idea of having a small island being Engellex Prime, the actual Anglo-Saxon element of the union. The reason for the choice of the mapspot, as opposed to the one directly neighbouring the island, is due to the fact it borders more mapspots (5>3), which would be ideal.

Let me know what you think. Thanks.

 

[Hesperia]

Is there even any extra space in the North? Doesn't look like it. If so, what's the point? This entire thread started because there's not enough spots in Eurodisney...

 

[Warre]

There are quite a few spots in the north, off the coast of Montelimar and Vistraisia, there are also quite a few spots in the peninsula/subcontinent north of Franken. There are more spots in Boreas, as well- so the entirety of the north [sans Asia which was not touched and will not be touched], there have been changes and creates of new spots/interesting spots/new bodies of water and other stuff. It's all good changes too. Finally, Himyar is made to be more accessible and appealing, at least in Coro's final version: [which follows.]

[Daracnia]

Here's a question I've not heard asked or answered: is there an equator? That is to say, is this a whole world, or just a few continents in one. The impression I've gotten around here so far is that the south is warmer than the north implying that the equator could be drawn somewhere within Himyar. Am I way off base there, or is there essentially no southern hemisphere?

 

[Guiana]

You split Hamyir? Didn't you guys get pissed when Khalistan suggested it?

Do NOT talk about GEOGRAPHY.

I guess Barbossa has been removed from the map. Ok. :sad:

 

[Hesperia]

Splitting Himyar (yes indeed Guiana it's spelled Himyar) is not acceptable, if you ask me. Either extend it westward some or shave off some more off the bottom and don't split it at all, as Khalistan had done earlier.

Also, you made the Gulf of Sidra (the body of water entirely in my territory) too large. This is something for the map maker's thread, I know, but please make it smaller.

There are about six-seven new and tiny spots, in one tiny area, on the main continent. That seems appallingly little considering the huge desire for these spots. People don't want spots on the northern islands; they want spots smack dab in the middle of the northern continent.

Really, this thread was started to rectify the problem in the North/the Euromass/Eurodisney. But it's mostly been about cutting into Himyar. What gives?

 

[Socialist Commonwealth]

Cutting Himyar in half? Fucking no!

 

[Guiana]

(yes indeed Guiana it's spelled Himyar)

Sorry, always mixing up where the i and a go.

No, not ok. You are the only other Spanish country on the forum.
