NES World/Regional Maps Requests Thread

here u go guys, 1900 political map. I left it w/out color and city less to make it easier to edit for alt hists like das.

i am thinking of doing a list of historical maps and puting them in a file for better use.

 

[Swissempire]

How do you do it so fast, like some overlay program?

 

[Cuivienen]

Icmancin:

I don't believe British Egypt should control so much territory. Also, eastern New Guinea should be divided between German New Guinea in the north and British New Guinea in the south.

old school paint program and a good historical map.

note that in my map egypt-Tripolitania should be same color as ottoman turkey, but all 3 should be considered 3 different states in the time period. you decide.

Could you make me a current map? Like of 2006?

 

[stalin006]

someone did one quite already, with color too. just look it up in the 3 or 4 threads.

 

[das]

Well-done stalin, though personally I preffer the Jason-NK-etc map - more used to it, I suppose, plus borders are somewhat easier to do with geographic orientirs such as rivers and cities.

 

[stalin006]

no worries das



Ekaterinburg is such a nice city tough....

 

[das]

It is, though I'm not sure how relevant it is to the discussion... Anyway, hopefully Icmancin will be able to convert that map.

Grandmaster took it down. Grandie, could you put it back up?

Want to tell me how?

@Cuivienen: I was using Azale's map. I just pasted the colours. I know that it wasn't right. When das tells me how, I'll convert Stalin's map, which is awesome btw.

Also, should I have Protectorates as a separate nation or have it coloured the same way as the 'master' but retain their border?

@Swiss: Page 3. Stormbringer's old NES, We We Will Become, has one. That's how I got ICNES I's map.

Shouldn't the Ottomans control Libya directly? They granted them autonomy near the end of the war with Italy and then Italy went on to occupy them all.

Egypt I'm putting as a British holding, most likely as a Protectorate.

*slaves away*

 

[Icmancin]

So I suppose you are converting it?

 

[Symphony D.]

... No, I'm working on something like what das proposed, based on prior work by Dis.

 

[Icmancin]

Oh well. I'll hold off the 1900 NES. I'll just use Stalin's map when I'm done with it.

 

[Symphony D.]

Preview sample based off Dis's mod of the map I originally posted, which I'm now tweaking (standardizing colors, making islands usable, etc):

One of my primary considerations is whether to leave the coast and such as they are ("broken") or connect them all the seperate pixels ("line") so they can be easily recolored. Haven't made up my mind there.

 

[jalapeno_dude]

My inclination would be to go with line, but I'm not sure... Could we see a side-by-side comparison?

Also, can you tone down the rivers a little bit? I like rivers, but that amount of rivers seems a little excessive.

 

[Symphony D.]

South America is exceedingly high in them, while say Europe has very few. Dis apparently had overlays based on volume of flow data, so puny rivers don't get displayed - big ones do. Personally, I'd say just leave it as is and fill the empty areas in, because South America is pretty barren in terms of other objects (eg: cities).

I'd also have to actually get to that point, since I'm more interested in standardizing everything first. I'll put up a comparison later though.
