Map of the world with territory held by each leader while they reigned

[Wingednosering]

I do find it kinda funny that people are complaining so much about eurocentrism, yet the middle-east has had many more leaders, judging from the complexity of the colours.

Keep in mind Brazil, Australia, America, Russia and Greece/Macedon are generally considered Western nations as well. You are right that the Middle East has some decent representation, but three nations is really the minimum required to represent the area. The largest one, Persia, isn't even here yet. Philip should also have far more territory than he does in the map.

In contrast, there are massive blank spots on the map. Most notably Africa, but the Americas are also completely bare without the european colonies. South east Asia is also bare.

I can't help but notice how nicely the Mongols would fit into that map. Shame Scythia basically took their spot from a gameplay perspective.

This would probably be better represented with an interactive html5 map, with toggle-able overlays for each leader to better distinguish overlapping territorial ownership.

Also, if your map is based upon the British Empire circa 1900, I think you're missing quite a few of its colonial possessions; most obviously the Falkland Islands, Bermuda, Sierra Leone, Singapore & other Straits Settlements plus a load of others. The wikipedia page on Crown colonies has a good list on it, with date ranges.

If you looked in the spoiler I added on thursday, I talk about errors that have been reported. For the British Empire, I'm representing it c. 1886.
