but it also shows like increase and decrease?
so in the darker areas there's more of the thing that was important back then now than back then?
Guess the map 11: New map at least once per year

no
al
though they can be pillaged The indicator of the map is never zero
The zero in the scale is the average.
In lighter areas there was less of that indicator, in darker areas there was more of that indicator.

like bridges?

Is it a type of construction (like a building but not necessarily a building)?

Are you saying the subject of the map can be pillaged or just that levees, dams, or watermills can be pillaged?al
Forts or castles?
Pillaging has to do with the subject
but no forts or castles
Is it a type of construction (like a building but not necessarily a building)?
no

Agricultural output?
The indicator as measured and shown as such no
But I guess it did lead to more mass burial sites
Not what the map shows, but certainly related
Battles then, dammit.
yes
war it is
battle drums and bards singing and dancing for the troops.
To be precise: battle exposure
The researchers used 600 military conflicts during 1500-1800 in Europe and assumed that those dots of the battles caused an exposure on the area around it from foraging, pillaging etc.
Here as example a list of the 37 conflicts used of the 30 year war
And here the top affected areas and how they added all those 600 conflicts up to exposure:
There were everywhere in Europe conflicts going on with on average during 1500-1650 10 war years per year from various wars:

you would easily say that wars were bad for economical development... but the odd thing is that these areas were often also growing in economy during the early modern period... and are also now mostly the areas with the highest GDP per Capita. (all the more when you adjust for the later developing centres of economy from coal/iron heavy industry, etc and the capitals from further centralisation overhead in the nation state development).
The authors of this paper https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2629326 … researched in how far war exposure could have positive effects on economic development.
In their paper the conclude that there is a good correlation between GDP and war exposure.
But that can ofc still come from wars being there where other factors like arable soil, waterways, old trading route roads, military strategic locations etc favored GDP growth and made those areas more interesting to own.
The thoughts the authors put forward are basically:
"Our analysis documents a positive and significant relationship between historical warfare and regional economic development within Europe. To explain this counterintuitive relationship, we focus on the city’s traditional role as a “safe harbor” (Glaeser and Shapiro, 2002, Dincecco and Onorato, 2016). Historical warfare inflicted many costs on rural populations. To reduce such costs, rural populations relocated behind the relative safety of urban fortifications. We argue that war-related urbanization could have positive long-run regional economic consequences through several potential transmission channels. First, urban economic agglomeration effects could reduce the exchange costs for goods and labor. Second, war-related urbanization could promote technological innovation, due to the benefits of urban density. Finally, manufacturers under the threat of conflict could move their capital behind urban fortifications, creating an urban bias to manufacturing".
I liked the idea of this micro clustering behind safe town walls of knowledge, labor and tools as innovating centres for more specialisation of professions and the proto-industrial development.
Proximity key for complexity growth leading to more and better techs and more plurality.
The old micro clusters near each other, our current clustering of economy in areas with many cities, well connected by motorways (and thelephone, e-cables, etc), the scaled up version.
Urbanisation as driver of change by increasing proximity of what is needed to combine.

only one left out of those plank maps in the op, but it doesn't have Kosova
I could just remove that section entierly, but if anyones got some better ones around feel free to share
