Good question. What era would they be from?

4000 BC - 376 AD

Ollie, I think I found your reference to your "Orbus Vertribus Notus" map: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a4/1794_Anville_Map_of_the_Ancient_World_-_Geographicus_-_AncientWorld-anville-1794.jpg

Yep, that's the one. D' Anville has created quite a few ancient maps, so it may be worth digging around for them to find territory names.

holy shit you gave me a shout out on the map! thats dope man!

So... can you guys help me out with the territory names of Eastern Egypt/Sinai? This map isn't progressing that much because of it.

That may be difficult - most of the Sinai is just desert. Have you considered using numbers or something?

If modern names will do, you should check out Mapcarta.

Are you guys ok with the river/sea connections on the map?

Yep, although would you consider making the sea connections curves?

How do you do that?

Click on the line in Inkscape, and drag it.

Fixed it.

Do you have links for major cities in the ancient/medieval Middle East?

No, but I could tell you roughly what they should be. Would that be useful?

Of course. Is there a way to make the bonus cluster in Egypt look more appealing? Also, how do you color in bonuses to make it look better and not be bland?

With the bonus cluster question, do you mean the actual boxes?

As for colouring bonuses, it uses the colour of the bonus that was lasted edited. If you open up the bonus in the bonus window, press 'edit' and then press 'confirm' (even without making any actual changes), it will change the colour of all the territories in that bonus to the colour of the bonus.

I'll get going on a city list later on.

I like it so far. ^^

Ollie, I know how to color a bonus, I want to know how you would generally do it to make it look effective. Yes, I mean the actual boxes.

What do you mean by "effective"? Haven't had much time to work on the list, but I think it should be split into four categories: Bronze Age cities, Iron Age cities, Classical cities, and medieval cities (modern ones are by and large the same as medieval).

Bronze Age Cities
Ur
Uruk
Lagash
Umma
Akkad
Sippar
Nippur
Mari
Ebla
Carchemish
Assur
Hattusa
Ugarit
Yamhad
Qatna
Zalpuwa
Memphis
Thebes
Thinis
Napata
Giza

There may be other, but this will be a good start. I'll get the other ages across to you when I can.
