I've got something completely original - another Europe map:

https://www.warlight.net/Play?PreviewMap=48825

It's going to be a diplomacy/local deployment map and a replica of sorts of the map of Europa Universalis IV. It will incompass Europe (Along with Scandinavia, Iceland and all of Eastern Europe), The Levant, North Africa, the Caspian and Persia.

Right now it is in it's very early stages with only Iberia completed. I'm making the thread now, because I'm pretty excited about this project and it doesn't hurt to start getting feedback from the very beginning.

EDIT : I can't read.

Great map!

Excellent map so far! Keep going!

Awesome!

I was wondering when someone would do this... I'm looking forward to it!

Oh god. It's going to be like EU4! (opens champagne bottle)

The inland borders look somewhat pixelated. If you make them smoother like the coast, it would looks much prettier

When you do finish it, I'd like to test. I love EU4.

Cadiz -> Cádiz
Jaen -> Jaén
Cordoba -> Córdoba
Caceres -> Cáceres
La Mancha -> Mancha (or make Rioja -> La Rioja, but be consistent)
Leon -> León
Navarra -> Nafarroa
Alicante -> Alicant
The Balaeres -> (As) (Islas) Balears
Pirineo -> Chaca
Urgell -> Urchel
Girona -> Chirona
Rousillon -> Rosellón
Sassari -> Sasser
Cagliari -> Cáller
Messina -> Mecina
Syracuse -> Siracusa
The Canarias -> (Las) (Islas) Canarias

Nafarroa was independent.

I believe he is using the exact names from the game which doesn't use any accents and is a weird mix of native and English names.

What he said ^

Some provinces have unique letters and names and others are just the names in English. I'm tempted to just cut out the accents and unique letters and just use the English names.

So I noticed every territory has a bonus.

That is good, but perhaps have bonuses for completing whole nations (France, Muscovy, Castille). That would make it a lot of fun for custom scenarios.

Judging by the pace, i bet this will be done before 2016

Hopefully. I'm aiming for around 1000 territories, so it can be completed before New Year.

I've been pondering the idea of country bonuses and I think I'll just put them at 0, just so custom scenario making is easier. There will also be multiple bonuses for the same country (For example France will have a bonus for the territory they actually controlled and another with their completed kingdom, which includes the English-Occupied territories).

Very good

The Asturias bonus also contains Madrid.

Note: Don't hear most Xyktblpy names for Spanish: Most of them are wrong, didn't know where did you get them.

Since the map is based on a time before Spanish unification, it would make sense making non-Castilian names in their native languages, but Xyk's names are just a mixture of the three forms, native, Spanish and English. So, I will correct the ones who Xyk wrote bad:

It's "La Mancha", "Mancha" alone makes no sense. As well as "La Rioja", "Rioja" alone is not such a zone. Alicante's native name is "Alacant", not what he said. It would also be "(Illes) Balears", instead of what he said. What on Earth is "Chaca"? It is non sense, I would call it "Huesca" or at least "Pirineos", as the mountain range. "Urgell" and "Girona" were well written, your new names don't exist in any regional/national language. The Rousillon is named "Rosselló" in Catalan, your name is Castilian.

And that's all, I don't know enough about the Italian names to speak for them. You could also make more territories for example in Galicia or Old Castile. Gibraltar wasn't such an important place at that time I think. And yes, Navarra or Nafarroa was independent. But over all this, congrats for your map.

It's "La Mancha", "Mancha" alone makes no sense. As well as "La Rioja", "Rioja" alone is not such a zone.

It's like Arabic place names; al-/el- not always needed, just bit of Arabic grammar (and here, Castillan grammar).

Alicante's native name is "Alacant", not what he said.

I got most place names from looking at the Wikipedia page of the place in its tongue. https://an.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alicant

It is a typo that I put Alacant instead of Alicant.

What on Earth is "Chaca"? It is non sense, I would call it "Huesca" or at least "Pirineos", as the mountain range.

But it is not the full Pirineos. Huesca is too far east in my opinion. Here is Chaca:

Italian names I put were also for Aragonès.

The map is based on Europa Univeralis IV, a game covering the time between 1444 AD and 1820 AD, so even though places like Gibraltar weren't that important in the 15th century, they will become much more important, and so the game map compromised. Same with Galicia. It was more important before Spanish unification, but later on lost much of it's importance.

Xyk, believe me. I live in La Mancha, and you will never hear someone "Mancha", same for La Rioja.

And... Catalonia, Balearics, and Valencian coast have never spoken Aragonese, but Catalan. You should check it their names on the Catalan wikipedia as I am sure they are said that way.

The only one where you would be right is Chaca, I didn't realise it is Jaca, but still, I'd say Huesca was more important at the time, and it is in the same territory.

It's bit of Castilian grammar, I'm pretty sure. You don't say Castilla, you say La Castilla, you don't say España, you say la España, right?

And... Catalonia, Balearics, and Valencian coast have never spoken Aragonese, but Catalan. You should check it their names on the Catalan wikipedia as I am sure they are said that way.

I was doing each by official favored tongue(s) of each country. By your grounding, then many names in Castilla are wrong.

I'm not sure if Huesca is, we'd have to take latitude lines to find out for sure.
