Cartographic Office - New Border Proposals for Term 6

FortyJ · Jan 19, 2003

Due to recent events, we are once again faced with the prospect of adding new provinces to our government. Also, there has been another proposal from a governor to modify our existing borders.

Please post any proposals you may have for new provincial borders and/or modifications to existing borders in this thread. Discussions are encouraged as all valid proposals will be polled.

Octavian X · Jan 19, 2003

Current events will force us to look to the west for our expanding borders. With luck, we will soon be adding Indian and Babylonian cities to the kingdom.

Considering I'm not looking at any form of the game right now, I can't provide specifics. When we create borders for these new areas, we should consider the fact that the cities within these provinces will more than likely be pre-established by others. Because the AI doesn't use our tight build tactic, the cities in these areas will have more space between them.
Since we aren't going to raze or abandon anything (I assume), we will most definately need to make these new provinces geographically larger than what we've already established.

Chieftess · Jan 19, 2003

And that's why I made the first provincial suggestion large in the first place.

We're used to the large map of DG1, but this is a huge map. We should have a tile-to-size ratio for each type of map...

Cheetah · Jan 19, 2003

I would like to present my proposals and modifications:

Blue: Existing Provinces
Red: Expanded Border for Rhineland
Yellow: New Indian Province

I believe that these borders are very well aligned with the terrain. Of course, as we have not yet conquered India, the Indian Province may be different if we don't get enough of the Indian cities / our allies get them...

Goonie · Jan 19, 2003

I like the red, but not the yellow. Will post my own suggestion for yellow later!

Octavian X · Jan 19, 2003

I think the current border there is fine as is. As for the proposed Indian province, the border could follow that jungle a bit better.

Cheetah · Jan 19, 2003

Octavian X: there is a river running on the SE side of the Indian border if it's that part you want to correct.

naervod · Jan 19, 2003

I agree that the current border is fine as is.

If Lahore is to get any farmland at all, it will be on the western side of the mountains. Effectively, then, it is "west of the divide" and it would be better off, for administrative purposes, in the Indian Province.

Plexus · Jan 20, 2003

I do not think that a Rhineland expansion is justified... I really don't.

Feodor Ardent · Jan 20, 2003

On the other hand, if they want some more of that jungle around Ganges and south of Hyderabad . . . hey, what's so bad about a dengue fever or elephantiasis epidemic now and then?

Goonie · Jan 20, 2003

@FA, we have many cities with tiles outside their borders! Borders follow the terrain(ie Mountains) not the cities

Feodor Ardent · Jan 20, 2003

In most situations, though, one would expect the borders follow the divide, or crest, of the mountain range, rather than the foothills.

It only makes sense that Lahore and Traders Inn reside in the same Province. The two cities are going to have to share/split tiles. It would be much better for one Governor to work this out than two. I can hear the bickering and the squabbling now.

Whereas Lahore will only have to negotiate 1 tile with Calcutta, that's it, 1 tile. If this border change is approved, things like this will run a lot smoother. I say the red border change is a good plan, I liked when I first saw it because it made perfect sense. Of course that means the proposal will probably fail.

I'll have to think about the yellow border some.

BTW, Cheetah, nice map.

Goonie · Jan 21, 2003

"I liked when I first saw it because it made perfect sense. Of course that means the proposal will probably fail."

I know how you fell. Everything I propose gets killed.

Cheetah · Jan 21, 2003

Cyc: Thanks for the support (I specially liked the part about the map)

Feodor Ardent · Jan 21, 2003

That is a very nice map. What program do you use, and how do you get a map that will upload properly?

Chieftess · Jan 21, 2003

I'd move that red line SE of Lahore (Rhineland) to include the 6 tiles (mountains and hill). That includes the gold mountain, and the mountain & hill to the NE.

amirsan · Jan 21, 2003

Please add Fukushuma to Hafen Land. Hafen Land need more cites and if we do capture all those cities hoped for the Indian Province then it will have many cities. Please support proposal to put Fukushuma(only Fukushuma) to Hafen Land. Please clarify if Fukushuma is a Japanese name or Indian.

Chieftess · Jan 21, 2003

Fukushima is Japanese. Japanese names/words have a lot of vowel/syllable combinations.

(or with double contenents - tt, ss, pp etc.)
