@Abraxis, I stick with my idea. Symbols and colors. Symbols are easy recognisable. Colors specify the exact amount of income the province holds.

How do you account for colorblindness?

I can only see a blue & four red/green in the example above.

@Imaginos, as Ekroth said before I have symbols too

Through the thicker lines most likely.

@Cata Cauda, The map has 2500 territories. A thicker line for every line is simply unachievable and unrealistic. In addition it'd look ugly as well.

can we see an update soon with warmin masuria fixed with Kaliningrad so its more adaptable to ww2 and before scenarios

Yeah certainly. warmanian-masuria can get a slight modification on its borders to ressemble Prussia. I'm not sure about Kaliningrad though. giving Memel to the kalingrad territory would look and fit better for the scenarios but it doesn't correlate to the present day borders. I will consider that

Map looks amazing so far. This may be a more personal desire of mine. But I'd love to see all the European microstates in the game. I've always enjoyed playing as them but maps that go beyond the scope of Europe never have them which dulls some of my interest for such maps. It'd be greatly appreciated to see nations like Monaco, San Marino and Andorra on the map if possible.

@𝓐utumn 𝓝orthwind Thank you for your nice words ^^ although unfortunately I'm currently in a further phase of the development of my map and I'm definitely not up to creating any new territories. To add to that up I don't think micro states are that relevant enough to be put on a world map. However Andorra may get a chance if everything in the late stage of development goes right.

Oh also don't mind the broken connections everywhere around the map guys. I'll never fix them since it's not going to be the official map :p

besides updated version of the map (not official) : https://www.warlight.net/SinglePlayer?PreviewMap=69018
note: holes are yet to be coloured in

I found some naming errors in the US. For example the territory that represents NYC or lower New York State is named Cincinnati. And there seems to be an excess of connections all throughout the US and the rest of the world and at least 4 territories without any connects in the American Southwest near fourcorners and 8 in the French South.

Otherwise I love this map and eagerly await it's public release.

yeah lol all the names in USA got jumbled and stuff

Thank you for the reply, Belgian. It'd definitely be nice to see Andorra included on the map. A pretty fascinating little country with origins from the time of Charlemagne.

he doesn't care about what you think

The problem with these maps is you need to make the places people care about, like Europe, the US and the Middle East, bigger and detailed, whilst keeping the places that people don't give a toss about, like Russia, DRC and Brazil nice and small.

To achieve a balance is difficult, and to please everyone is impossible.

Why do people bother pointing out missing connections or fucked up territory names, especially in the USA? Dont you see that at this point, the creator hasnt got to that part yet?

Ideas:

Adding the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, The Yellow River, Amazon River, and the Indus River Valley as small strips of land like the Nile.

Correcting Egypt to fit like Antiquity Egypt. Here's 2 images to show what I mean:



Making Greenland's coastline more rounded, like with what you did for Alaska, to show Norse colonies in that area, same thing with North Africa and Carthage.

Adding the Trans-Siberian Railway as small strips of land.

Editing Crimea to make it look more like the Crimean Khanate.


One more thing, if you click the "Cities" distribution in the preview map option, you'll be able to see what territories haven't been named yet.
I can't imagine how much work you've put into this.

Hello everyone,

I'm here to announce something big surrounding the future of this map. I've spoken to Fizzer about it and I hard time dealing with it too. But it'll be most likely that this map will not be published unless I either redraw the whole map or write a Unity mod from scratch that solves the map's problems. The reason behind is that my diplomacy map is distorted in unity when you open it. It has several objects floating around the map. You can see that for yourself if you have the web client. and although not the same goes for the flash app, it's definitely worrysome since the unity version will soon be the only version available on Warlight.

Basically the future of the map is unknown. All my future versions will get rejected if I pass them. So I hope to work with Fizzer so I can have a chance to finish this map once more. But for now, nothing happens.

Besides your suggestions are nice and I certainly want to add them if I had the time
