DLNESI - Godwin's Law: Preview

[LightFang]

This will stay a European/North African affair for a few reasons. We're two first-time mods, so we don't want to overextend ourselves. I'll learn about writing updates and map making; we'll both learn about realism and how to mod and such. Plus, we want to keep things concentrated in two countries. You'll still get news about off-map events.

 

[DarthNader]

Ok. Thats good.

I agree with capital distinction (what with people not knowing where the capitals of some of the smaller countries are).

 

[dldnjstjr]

But note that non-Euro-African force might enter the Euro-African Theatre.

City placement: horrible. I don't see Paris ( ) at all, and some of the others I have only the vaguest of hunches about. Can't you look up some old be-citied map from a Warman or an EQ European-based NES?

 

[dldnjstjr]

I have a map from Warman, but Il Mode was too lazy.

I was looking it off state.gov and eyeballing it.

The map from Warman was like weirdly perspectived, so I couldn't use it.

 

[Crezth]

This map is weirdly perspectived, too. Based in a world that lacks a Paris and is ugly as hell.

I mean, to your credit, it's difficult to enlarge maps without it becoming ugly, but this is really just an eyesore.

 

[dldnjstjr]

There's *ahem* better map here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=6737699&postcount=269

Would anybody volunteer to redraw borders? (That one is WWI Era)

 

[LightFang]

Map + Paris, which I can't believe I forgot.

Edit: Also I realized I forgot lots of Eastern Russia and the lower parts of North Africa.

 

[a_propagandist]

Dig the new resized map.

 

[Symphony D.]

Retroactive deletion.

 

[flyingchicken]

To start off:

Spoiler Symphony D.'s map cut to Europe :

Spoiler Symphony D.'s map's European cities against transparency :

EDIT: Transparency fixed.

Also, if either Der Moderator or Il Mode would give a list of cities to be displayed on the map, I bet that list of coordinates and the nice plotting-thing of Symphony D. could be put to good use, as opposed to manually erasing.

 

[dldnjstjr]

Der Moderator says:

That's Il Mode's job. Don't bug me about it.

 

[dldnjstjr]

Der Moderator says: I'll need the players to confirm their positions. Bold means they confirmed.

@bestshot9: You've been moved to Team British.

 

[Dachs]

Re: the map - German Silesia looks virtually nonexistent. Believe it or not, Germany actually controlled the Oder River back then. It's sort of important for that part of the war.

 

[bestshot9]

ah so my stories are going to be from British POV?

 

[dldnjstjr]

Der Moderator says: Final list of players. Team leaders, please take players' stats, compile, and PM to yours truly. And don't forget to bug Il Mode.

[Shadowbound]

Oi, I demand inclusion!

 

[LightFang]

I don't know which cities to put on the map. I sort of just put random cities on the map with a map. But I'll get a list of cities I included up...

 

[dldnjstjr]

@bestshot9: I guess you can go to your ambiguous POV for soldier stories.

@Everyone: Do we have any volunteers to spice-up/redo/better the map?
