map update: https://www.warlight.net/SinglePlayer?PreviewMap=65360

The next thing on my list is revamping the entire US & removing all regional thicker lines. Thicker lines between countries are here to stay.

I like your changes on the United States of America already, good work!

I agree. Really clean and neat looking.

I don't envy your job of fixing this and the hundreds of others like it.

that's like the least of my worries and will be one of the last steps I'm going to do

Still don't envy it. Any of it. lol

update: all regional thicc lines removed. It was extensive work. Everything had to be done manually. Part of the credit goes to Stewie. Also all of territorial changes are definite. Few new territories will now be added. I'm now moving on to re-arranging the pacific islands and connection lines.

But you haven't finished Virginia!

Awesome! Keep going! :D

Thank you for the support ^-^

the delmerva peninsula I'm glad you've noticed it Clint. It's such a small detail it's barely noticeable.

also. I'm here with another question. Should I reconsider renaming certain provinces ? And is it better to write the regions in their native language respectively or write them in their English translated form. For example Rhineland-Palatinate becomes Rheinland Pfalz and Calcutta becomes Kolkata? This method has already been applied to Kazakhstani names.

Well, it depends, are you willing to do all the research?

^ I agree. It could potentially make the map better, but it would take quite a while. I say go for it, but keep it low priority.

I don't expect this to take a long time. Since all I gotta do is translate. Also naming things goes fairly quick. It's just a name after all. Let's say I'm only going to change names where the latin alphabet is used AND where English is not spoken. That leaves a giant chunk of countries (like China,USA,Russia whole arabic world,...) and furthermore all names named after places are written in their native latin alphabet ALREADY. We can conclude that these translations will only go for regional names only. Funny thing all these regions are to be found in Europe because English is an European language after all and like any European language it has various names for regions. and there are a few (less than 50 to be generous) in this map. It's really that easy.

But then again it'll get controversial since not all native names are accepted. For example Flanders will stay Flanders and not Vlaanderen

Wow.................. That's a lot of work.

If i may suggest (it may be too late) I think that for North Africa you should try to go for smoother territories along the coast because those are generally to population centers. Not to mention if a scenario maker wants to block off the Sahara they would be able to do it without it looking raggedy. Especially in Libya. I also LOVE what you did for Germany Poland Transylvania Odessa China and Greece.

Although I just noticed that Kaliningrad and masuria don't match up well like they did in the last map.

Thanks for your appreciation <3

No it's never too late to change the shapes of the regions. I'll look into Algeria and Libya and see what I can do to and alter some territories at the coastline. Thanks.

Furthermore about Prussia, sure Masuria and Kaliningrad don't match well but their shape have been the same during history and therefore they are important for historical scenarios.
