AND EUROPE? NO PRETTY BORDERS IN EUROPE???

They're good, but European provinces IRL aren't as irregularly shaped as other places.

 

[JohannaK]

Wut. Whatever. I drew them as close to RL as CivO let me.

 

[CivOasis]

I didn't cite you, just in case the mobs arrived

As for the borders... (A): Europe's borders are really weird, compared to most, IRL.. so, yeah, that.


And since they want to take the hit from the angry mobs, Joan and HJ did basically the entire map, barring Oceania and Iceland.

Look, America was done to the best of my ability due to the map using an odd projection, I have already told you SK that you can re make those borders if you want via PM.
Either do it yourself or button up.

 

[mayor]

nvm..

 

[Mosher]

The borders look fine. I don't get what the big deal is.

 

[Tee Kay]

It needs to be about 20% cooler.

 

[JohannaK]

What needs to? Which zones exactly?

 

[mayor]

He wants a pony in it

Well, it's mostly good, but the way the map is divided up seems rather inconsistent. It seems you are basing it largely on current political/administrative borders, but in some places provinces/states are merged, like in India, and not in some, like in Mexico; even though India is more populated than Mexico. Not that I'm saying that you shouldn't merge or split provinces/states where appropriate; but the way it's done is a bit weird. Iceland has three provinces; same as Nigeria, even though Nigeria is about 170 times more populous, with an economy that is 35 times as large, and rather more geographically and culturally diverse.

 

[hoplitejoe]

Unfortunately that is due to, A: the map being used as soon as every nation had provinces, B: being made by more than one person.

 

[Tee Kay]

If you haven't redrawn the map at least four times before posting the sign-up thread, then you're not doing it right.

 

[hoplitejoe]

This was rather out of my and Joan's hands.

 

[Tee Kay]

And I'm somewhat a perfectionist cartographic pedant.

 

[JohannaK]

Oh, I am a little bit too! I am desolated at the criminal numbers that CivO imposed in Europe.

I did Europe, and how many times I complained at CivO for the comparative inequality among countries, mainly the Big 4: Spain, France, Germany and Italy (HJ was in charge of UK). Look! Spain more or less doubles Germany in number of provinces!

 

[CivOasis]

And, for the record, I told you that if you could make infrastructure fit, it was fine.

 

[JohannaK]

You said "7 or 8 for Germany"

Here's a good version of the RIOT map:

Do you know how many provinces there are on it? Thanks.

 

[hoplitejoe]

TK made it and I think you an count them
