Map creating offer

[mrtn]

About the african map; maybe put more jungle in the congo? If it will be used for regular play, not a scenario, it should show forests and jungle 6000 years ago, not how it looks today.

 

[LouLong]

Yep, good point. If it had been for scenarios I would disagree but since we can't make real scenarios I guess it is better to focus on 6000 years ago (although in that case, wine would not show so much).

BTW sorry you did not respond earler to the Baltic preview. I had just uploaded it when I saw your mail.
I wished I had made a coastal link between Aland islands and Finland. Maybe I will correct it.

I still love ur signature

Nothing I guess though I might do one for a precise scenario which could shpw a more precise area.

Procifica, in that case just go to the Map creating offer thread. Use the link I provided to get a precise photo of what you would like.

But it is down the list, first I need to finsih Grand Greece, Italy and Black sea.

Ok I will do so. I'm mainly looking for a map of most of China, except northern most Manchuria and the western and southern most slices.

 

[Procifica]

I think this is about what I need. I don't need Taiwan (Formosa).

Size...I'm thinking 140 X 140 would probably work. If you need to adjust it slightly either way to make its latitude/longitude stuff accurate, then please do.

If you could, I also need the Yanghtze (however you spell it) and Huang Ho rivers navigable (meaning, using coast squares to make them). Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the precision.
I agree about the rivers being navigable though the Huang He (northern one) is not famous for that. What about the canal ont the other hand (I have to check if it was built at that time).

Otherwise, are ou sure you wanna get a 140 x 140 map. There is very little sea so that would make huge terrain...

i have been lurking for a while on this china scenario project, and i think that a standard map would be enough.

 

[Procifica]

Yoda Power is probably right, standard might be better. Basically what I want to do, is divide China into roughly 50 or so provinces, of various size (largest maybe 3 times the size of the smallest), and each capital city (in theory in the center) being about 5 to 6 squares away minimum from any other. The 50 capital cities is what I will have on the map.

So how about 120 X 120? I want to make sure its big enough for what I want. Too small would be counter-productive, if its a little too big I can live with it. I don't want you to do it twice. If 120 X 120 though is too big for you, then 100 X 100 should work.

I think a famous naval battle was fought on the Huang Ho river though...it wouldn't have to be navigable all the way through its course, just the part that lies in eastern china.

Tropical Africa map first version to be ready very soon, I just need
to finish Madagascar. Maybe tonight.

After that my two next projects are a "good" map of France and the map of China for Procifica (I will try to start with a 100 x 100).

At the same time I am trying to improve the Baltic map for I am not so happy with the terrain.

 

[LouLong]

Tropical Africa map beta uploaded.

Any feedback Kinboat ?

Ready to create colonization scenarios or French paratroopers dropping on Kolwezi ?

 

[Oruc]

Nope!

OK, but after my two current projects I need to finsih my Black sea one (I just hate the mountains of the Balkans + probably the one Yoda requested with Europe and Africa.

But yours is on the list for after that.

What would it be for ? WWI / WWII scenarios ?
EDIT : Did you say the WHOLE of America ? You mean Northern or both North and South.

Could you use the tool (first page of the thread) to select precisely the area you want.

In about one month it should be OK

BTW anybody knows how el Mencey used templates ? That could be useful for me for non-squared maps.

Luo Lang: I really like your Freece idea, I'm wating for a "Magna Graecia" map too long already! Yet, why do you only want to include "Western" Greece? There won't be Asia Minor until ~Cyprus?

 

[LouLong]

It will include :
- Southern Italy
- Asia Minor, south Pontus
- Cyprus and Kyrenaic as well

I just emphasized Southern Italy because many people forget it was part of the Greek world.
Actually I might release it as a bundle with a map of Greece "stricto sensu". I said I "might"...

just see the map to have an idea of the area.
Jetzt brauche ich nur ein bisschen mehr Zeit zu haben !

 

[Oruc]

Nope!

 

[Procifica]

Colonization also took place in Africa and Asia too, emu.

Yes, but not at the same period. Anyway he could just choose to focus on colonization in America. This small continents by themelves are enough to make a scenario IMHO.

To attach a picture, go check the link on first page, select the area you want on that website, click printable version then save it as a picture then with any editing software, select the precise area you want and attach it as a .jpg (use the jpg format !!) in your post. That should do the trick

That would be long on the list though and I would definitely need to learn about the templates.
For any colonization map my opinion is that Europe should be enlarged and other continents shrunk. But that might not be your wish here...

 

[Oruc]

Nope!

LouLong how do i attach the picture after i saved it.
if u want to enlarge europe its okay with me.

Well, to attach it sounds like a good idea to me

To be more precise, below your text box you got four option lines (atutomatically parse URLs ... to ... Show signature).
Below that You got an "attach file" just click browse then select the file you want to upload (just as I said it is much easier with the jpg format).

Is that what you wanted to know ?

Before enlarging anything, I will need to both finish my current and forecast projects then learn how to use templates.

Thanks, LuoLang, this will be an awesome map!

One other request: Generally, Mexico maps go all the way up to Rio Grande and stops right at the Yucatan peninsula. Now, for a Precolumbian Mesoamerica scenario, one doesn't need northern Mexico but one would need more of Central America, most importantly including Honduras.

here's a map showing the region:
