The Old Map Critique & Discussion Thread

[Mergogne]

I've added some nations I left out, and added the colonies I think I passed over.

The whole line thing to connect islands is experimental, so do not get too heated about it, I'll be playing with other ways to express interconnected empires.

that is very fancy. I love how the island chains are connected like constellations. imho i would change the font for the country names, though.

What would you change: the font itself, the boldness/italics, the flag effect, the angles, or what?

I'm not partial to the flag effect (if by that you mean the waviness), as well as the boldness. Overall those labels seem modernish and kind of clash with the style of the ocean/body of water labels, which I think are great. I think a script font might be nice for the land spots. The angles are fine, and probably necessary if you're going to fit everything in.

I can't check this map at this moment. I will provide my comments next Sunday.

Remember to critique and discuss the map in this thread, the map critique and discussion thread.

A note that the SNIEG OCEAN appears twice. In the far North and the far South. This would seem to imply that our world wraps around both ends of it and that would be a bit paradoxical. I might suggest we rename the far northern one something nice and Polish sounding... like Kosciusko, or Pulaski. Or rename the southern one something nice and English sounding... like Mornington Crescent.

Rename this thread to Steely Dan edition, thank you.

This map is seriously my favorite that I've seen in my time with Europe

First we had Engellexic cigarette smokedy flags.

Then we had Engellexic cigarette smokedy maps.

Now we have regional cigarette smokedy maps!

The circle is closed.

In "Revolutionary Defense Treaty Organisation" all the R's are facing the wrong direction.

Well, I followed a lot of what was added and removed in the supplement map. I can take suggestions on ocean names.

 

[Northern Cooperative Unions]

New map is amazing! Love the dirt/grime design. Plus, those open spots give me some ideas.

 

[Tulus and Biminis]

Nice map!

Will capital names and secondary cities be added?

 

[Munhwa]

Sexy map is sexy. I notice a few plots has been merged together. I presume this is an attempt to fill up those continents a little bit more quicker and easier?

Well, I might suggest renaming the, as apparently the Northern one means "Snow" in Polish. The southern ocean should be called something in a native language of an explorers nation, so I'd suggest Swedish, Norse, English or Spanish... (I think those are the only nations who have sailed about in search of new lands) to something like... Mar del Sur, or Bonavista Sea, or Amundsen Ocean or Fram Sea or Challenger Sea or Discovery Sea or Falcon Ocean... most of these come from RL things, but something offbeat like Windmill Sea might be charming too.

Also worth noting that Sindh Bay, should probably be labeled as a Sea. Additionally, with the addition of the Faroe Islands thing in the Great Sea, there is an actual reason to believe that the Great Sea should be divided into two seas.

 

[Thaumantica]

Windmill Sea, it connects to the Stolen Bicycle Sea.

 

[Khemia]

Oh, yeah, Stolen Bicycle Sea. Isn't that the one Africa is next to?

 

[Potenza]

Stolen bicycle...stolen like so many childhood dreams

 

[Rheinbund]

So Engellex is the mapmaker now?
