- finished Anatolia
- added Macau
- added several islands to the eastern part of the map, especially in the Papua and Japan regions

why is lithuania so fucked up.
what the hell man.

Please be more precise. I have no idea what your critique is. ;)

The shape of the bonus in the east part looks crazy messed up.

Are you going to include Spain and the Netherlands in this map, even though I know that we weren't in the war? It would be great for an alternative scenario of WW1.

The "Lithuania" bonus consists of 11 and 14. Is the map wrong?

@ The Original Tom Quinn:

I am sorry, but this is unlikely because of province count and file-size limits. :(

You're going by administrative divisions.
Oh.
Okay then.-

Connections Naga Tribes – Sylhet Mogadishu - Baraawe are missing.

also Dodecanes should be Dodekanesa

I will try if there is file size left after the important slots are done, okay? ;)

Oman and Muscat aren't in the India bonus like it looks they should be

Cheeses Crust, China wasn't neutral.

I like the idea of giving more bonus value to places that actually matters in the war. To further pursue this idea what about lowering bonus value intensity for places like Kamchatka to *0.5? I hardly see any military value of Kamchatka in the real Great War:)

@ buggy
Do you have sources? I did find evidence that British troops were there, but no formal ties to the Raj administration like with Aden and the Trucial States.

@ iamtaller
That whole region is a real pain in the ass. Asking the question "was China involved in WW1?" is like asking "were the Balkans involved in WW2?" ;) Far too complicated situation that could need a map of its own, so i just included some coastal and river areas.

@ Green Turtle
That is tricky. I will decide that once Russia is finished and see how strong it is then.(The map also has to be usable for the Russian civil war) ^^

Edit: Arabia is finished.

i wasnt entirely sure, but it just looks strange that oman and muscat are left out ;)

-finished Ottoman Empire

It sure is. Remove kebab.
(get it? 'cause... finished, as in dead, not as in finished finished. rip empire of kebab)

Oh. This is an interesting map.
I didn't know anyone was making WWI maps. I have a few questions:

1. Why are the Northern States in Germany such a scattered bonus?
2. In Australia, why are the aboriginal tribes considered not part of the British Empire? I thought Australia had been fully explored and secured by 1914.
3. Are you going to fill in Spain, the Netherlands, and China? Or only participating nations?
4. Will all colonies be in the language of their overlords?
5. Some bonuses are weird. Why have the Turkey bonus when most Ottoman land is in it? It seems redundant.
6. Will you be coloring in mountains and water better?

@ Kai:

LOL :D


@ Landsknecht:

Thanks for your feedback. I will try to answer your questions in order:

1. I choose administrative divisions for bonuses most of the time. The Northern Federal States were the ones that were not annexed by Prussia after the Austro-Prussian war. Mostly sparsely populated, poor and/or small (with the exception of Saxony) they were not administered from Berlin and are therefore a separate bonus).

2. Explored: yes. Secured: mostly. In control: definitely not. The tribes at that time were still destroying European infrastructure if the conditions were right. No Europeans stayed in the deserts (too few roads), therefore de facto the Desert tribes were still independent.

3. Unlikely. I am extending the boundaries over the neutral states' borders already. I would not give them justice if Spain's territory density would be as sparse as China's'.

4. Yes. Most places would be otherwise be called after local tribes most of the time. Warlight (and the players!) cannot handle that many special letters. ;)

5. The Turkey super-bonus are directly administrated Ottoman provinces. The Greater Ottoman bonus includes vassals (so template makers can decide if they wish to make either one Ottoman slot or model the Arab rebellion with loyalist and rebel tribes).

6. Mountains: Most likely not. Water: If it does not screw over the whole map, then yes. ;)

Caucasus is finished.
