New Map Overview

[IndisPC]

I can see what you mean, but I don't think the water tile there is just representing the the Puget Sound; it also represents the Straits of Juan de Fuca, which separate Washington state in the US from Vancouver Island in Canada. Yes, a whole tile is too big for those bodies of water, but the alternative is having Vancouver Island connected to the mainland at two points, which I think would look worse.

Fair point. I'd argue that it isn't really that important to render Vancouver Island as disconnected from Washington State. Similar compromises were made in other parts of the map. For example, the Gulf of Corinth in Greece is represented by a river. I'd do something similar here.

The PNW is a fairly large and resourceful region, so I'd err on the side of exaggerating its landmass rather than reducing it.

Agree with the PNW feedback. I get the reason for the bend in the west coast, but the west bends outward in reality, so I think it’s ok giving it a straight coast extending north in this with a mountain representing the Olympic Peninsula (which is dominated by the Olympic mountain range) and a river separating it from Vancouver island.

I’d also thin the mountains and - if I’m interpreting the Columbia River correctly - put hills instead of mountains on its west side. (Though the rivers currently depicted up there aren’t making a ton of sense to me, so I might be misinterpreting them.)

Can you please put suggestions in the map suggestions thread? Having them spread out over multiple threads makes it hard to remember and find them again.

Done

When can we expect the new map to be added to the mod?

 

[Leoreth]

In the future.

 

[Leoreth]

Bump.

 

[Dracosolon]

Bump for the new year.

Would it be possible to have an update on this once the map is finalized?
