The Old Map Critique & Discussion Thread

[Great Engellex]

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.

I believe I agree, but there are plenty of open spaces in the Old World for Belmont to move into - two of which are relatively big; I think I will resist changing that part of the map (I remember last time it happened ) for the moment.

It looks nice, the new map.

 

[Ivernia]

New map looks fantastic. Love the new design. Great work!

I'm disliking the new host, I'm unable to edit any of the maps for personal usage. It won't even let me save them. It keeps running some kind of script that becomes unresponsive and nearly crashes firefox when I try to save... so... yeah.

EDIT: Managed to get around it by going to Tools > Page Info; and then media and saving through that avenue.

Is there any blank/white map at our disposal that I may have missed? I'm trying to work on my personal geography but it's proving to be quite difficult for me...

 

[Great Engellex]

The map is in the process of being reformed. Do not invest too much in the supplement map for the moment.

 

[The Tikali Islands]

Ok thank you very much. I will wait.

 

[Great Engellex]

I began to PM some of you, then stopped. Here is a blank version of the map I have been working on :-

All colonies have been incorporated, even if they appear difficult to determine. Some of you expressed some ideas for changes/alterations, having now seen the map, if any of you wish to continue with them, let me know and I will go over them again.

So long as I am landlocked and my borders with Wendmark and Franken are maintained I don't mind.

 

[Holy Frankish Empire]

I like where I am. Landlocked and who my neighbors are. How the hell are we supposed to keep readjusting to new maps and period changes if things keep changing so rapidly on here?:eh?:

If possible, I'd request that Faeroerne be kept but that it be an archipelago of small islands than just the one. As for Danish Implaria, it can go.



@ Karlovia/Fleur - you still border Wiese and Polas, just that you get a small nation to your north and the two empty spots to your east are merged. Aside from that, nothing much really changes for you, does it?

 

[Serbovia]

I gathered that the plot of land splitting Agderike into two was a part of Fennia, and not an independent map spot or some undetermined "goat" area. At least that was the idea which me and coro were having since before either of us were added to the map it was part of Anglia's spot, which the Fennian Union now occupies. It's RP-significant since it is the subject of an ongoing territorial dispute, though one supposes it could be marked as a disputed territory if we want to have territorial disputes included on the map.

I like the zoom in quality. As for perk's comments, I don't mind how it is represented on the map. Be that dotted lines, shaded hues within perk's territory, or just the same color used. Additionally I might suggest this: Have it represented on the zoom in, but on the non-zoomed in map make the entire area Fennian. This way, when desiring detail it is there, and when not, it can be absent. Anyway, just suggestions.

The only qualm I have doesn't even really impact me. I think the southern Occident is now extremely unattractive to go to. I think in the past, it could inspire movement there because of the similar qualities desired for that part of the world. Now, it looks like it could be anything. Which is fine, but also not inspiring.

Anyhow. It looks like a good blank map.

 

[Rheinbund]

Good work, Nonsuch. I don't have any requests.

 

[Danmark]

On second thoughts, I wish to keep Danish Implaria. I have had a sudden inspiration for keeping it (alongside Faeroerne, as already intimated) which I wish to develop. I always had a 'third world colony' and this is something that I believe has some RP scope which I shall elaborate on. So, in essence, I wish to keep both Faroerne and Implaria.

 

[Great Engellex]

I am not sure about the presence of continental names, at least in that style, should I remove them when I return with the return of non-capital city names?

 

[Danmark]

Keeping both in some way would be good for terms of reference.

 

[Wieserreich]

I'd prefer if Preuti-Borussia was replaced by Gallia-Germania if it's kept. It is, after all, used much more (as in, by more players).

 

[Havenshire]

I approve of this map and the zoom-in feature. Keeping the continent names is a plus I feel. I also like the sea names and would like to see more if possible.

 

[Frescania]

I like it, except Northern Himyar is very small compared to the others - Touzen is huge and Eurodisney has a zoom-in feature. Also, Western islands are extremely tiny.

Just my few cents.
