[Nuka-sama]

I have a request, for a cleaned up version of this map for my new alt hist 1920s nes

Spoiler :

colors can be changed. The person who makes it for me can have their choice of nation

 

[Head Serf]

At the very least you might want to save it in the right format.

 

[Terrance888]

Symph! Can you please help me? You know about the map I have for Central valley right? Well can you please place it into a random map please? Thank you if you can do that for me!

 

[Symphony D.]

Not my kinda gig, and I'm too busy anyway. Sorry.

Here is a map I made of the world in 1880, for an NES I might be doing. The white cities are capitals, and the reds and economy centers (like normal). Grey areas have disorganized tribes in them, while white areas are fairly uninhabited. If anyone has any feedback/suggestions/historical innacuracies, feal free to comment!

 

[Luckymoose]

The colors seem...unique.

Bulgaria is a bit big - they haven't even got Eastern Rumelia yet much less their post-Balkan War borders. Similarly, Bosnia should only be under Habsburg administration and not yet formal control. I also think that Bolivia should have lost that northern portion to Brazil already, but am not sure.

Otherwise, the borders that I know look fine if a bit messy; Dis or Symphony would probably be better to ask about the economic centers.

EDIT: Oh yeah, just realized this: Schleswig-Holstein should definitely be German, not just morally be legally as well.

What Dachspmg said. You might want to look for some older 1914 maps, where Panda and I went to great lengths to get some particularly difficult borders more or less right. Would hate that effort to be wasted.

The northwestern Balkans are particularly wrong. Montenegro warrants addition, Serbia should have more land to the west and the south, and the Austrians should hold the land between Serbia and Montenegro. The Ottomans should no longer be there. In other grievances, Galicia was shaped quite differently, the Malay principalities really shouldn't be independent (I think?) and British Guinea is just plain wrong.

Thanks! I remade the Balkans and reshaped Galacia.

I also added San Marino and Tavalora (another tiny city state from this time period). The Malay states shown were independant, the ones on the peninsula were "to britian" around 1885 to 1909. The ones on in north borneo were made into protectorates around 1888. Also what perticularly is wrong with British Guinea?

 

[das]

Also what perticularly is wrong with British Guinea?

Um. It's puny. Venezuelan territorial claims aside, it really should be three times larger - within the borders of modern Guyana.

Also, that strip of land between Serbia and Montenegro was technically occupied by the Austrians at this moment. This fact was of some importance in the diplomatic games of the period.

I posted our 1914 map in #1 Person's Thread.

They weren't territorial claims, according to my maps it (the strip of land your talking about) was administered by Venezuela and Britain got it (well, 94% of it) in 1904-5. I cannot find anything, online at least, which suggests otherwise. If you can find something, I will reconsider. Although I am expanding it a little because i got the border with Dutch Guiana a little off.

Yeah, i see what you are saying about that strip of land, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:SouthEast_Europe_1878.jpg) I will make another version soon.

Here it is:

just to mention, there is no reason for either Fort Edmonton or Fort Calgary to be on the map. Fort Edmonton is a major fur trading fort, yet has a very small settled population (incorporated as a CITY in 1904 with a population of 8,000. its not even a town yet, so consider how small the population must be)

Fort Calgary, until becoming a town in 1884 when the railroad hit, was only a fort meant to protect the west from US whiskey traders, and became a city in 1894.

unless you intend on all of europe being a big black dot, I doubt that places with pop. under 2000 or so (approx.) should be shown on the map.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Or Whitehorse, which was a Kwanlin Dun native settlement at the time. Its population hit a thousand or so during the gold rush, then collapsed afterwards.

Dawson, which is on the river but close to the Alaskan border, would be a better place to put a city (even though it was another little nothing-town until 1898).

But hey, it's a minor detail, not one that'll affect the NES in any way.

 

[Jason The King]

Can I get some feedback for this map?

 

[erez87]

It's nice, needs more small islands.

 

[North King]

Give it more variation on a smaller level, so you have small curves within the large ones. Also, keep the thickness of borders between land and sea constant, otherwise it looks unprofessional.

 

[Abaddon]

Rivers?

[North King]

All things in good time, Abaddon. Rivers come last, at least for me.
