[Guiscard]

[Telvannia]

ah thank you very much i will get down to work at once

[Guiscard]

No problem. Can I ask if you were planning on including the countries which were not part of an Empire as playable?

[Telvannia]

those are quite big maps

only thing im finding with the map provided Guiscard is that SA is very empty

do i leave that completely empty or add extra territories in there?

[Telvannia]

Updated the map with the WW1 map

(see first post)

[Lone.prophet]

add the dutch empire

[Telvannia]

i knew i had forgotten to add something

although only thing is that will make quite a few low territories empires
which would really change the game play style

[Qwert]

Let see i work in ww1 europe and i can help you in europe part of map,ofcourse if you want.
But If you want to create map in age of 1914 like currently present empires, you must have independent terittory.

i think i might change it away from WWI to a time when the empires were at their biggest.

These will be you bigest problem.

[Qwert]

I see you vote qwestion and these not good.
Its imposible to create map when the Empires where at their bigest borders.

the dutch had indonesia and suriname (South africa) and u sure all those countries in SA are spanish and not some portugese?

Suriname lies not in South- Africa but in South- America (between Guyana and France Guiana and above Brazil).

Maaaan, the playability of this map looks simply terrible! The idea is interesting, but I dont imagine it working.

[Telvannia]

I see you vote qwestion and these not good.
Its imposible to create map when the Empires where at their bigest borders.

not impossible (look at the link to the map that is sent when the empires where pretty much at their biggest)

Below I have set a little history of the Dutch Empire. I hope the timesettings are correct.

i have a map im planning to use already but thanks anyway i can make sure they both show the same places

Maaaan, the playability of this map looks simply terrible!

it playability is different
maybe not the type you like but maybe other people would like to play on this map for a change of how you have to play

[Qwert]

I dont want to tell nothing of rest world only europe.
If you want to create map of empires in age 1914,you got several mistake in europe,Mistake like German empire Austo hungaru empire, Spanis empire, Italian empire,Russian empire, in her acurate borders, and you must have Ottoman empire.

I say for yours qwestion"when the empires where at their biggest" if you mean terittory ,its definitly can done becouse these Empires have to many overlap,example Balkan change empires several times from austro hungary to ottoman empire,and if you put these terittory to ottoman empire you aply these qwestion for these empires,but you dont aply for austro hungary and then these empire will not be in here biggest borders,these i say.

[yeti_c]

I reckon it should be Empires at what ever state throughout the years...

Some will overlap of course...

Remember that Spain was part of France at one point...

And France was part of Germany of course!!

Are you going to add the Roman empire?

I would give the countries under dispute to the smaller of the empires who have a claim over it

Are you going to add the Roman empire?

i have decded not to partly because it is at the wrong time for this map
and partly because the roman empire was around when their where nearly no other empires thereby making the map not work

[Qwert]

in time 1914 several country become independent of Ottoman empire and dont belong to Austro hungary like you present in yours map.
Serbia -Albania-Montenegro-Romania.
Spain hold northerh Moroco.
Russia hold Large part of Poland,not Germany.
Finland its Russian hold all Finland.

WW1 Map

How comes that in WW1 Map countries have modern boundaries?

[Telvannia]

WW1 Map

How comes that in WW1 Map countries have modern boundaries?

because i could not find a WW1 map very quickly
i really should change to a WW1 map then i would be easier

[Telvannia]

WW1 map



This is using a the map from WW1 with the right countries shown
only thing is, it groups up empires for example Russia is now one country only rather than many ruled by one leader
do you think i should use the modern map with the empires on or use the WW1 map and break up the countries?

[Guiscard]

Use the WWI map and find a map form the period with the correct country markings.

[Qwert]

These much beter, I tell only europe.
Still you got 1 mistake, Bulgaria was independent state.

I think Libya was Italian colony,and Egypt was England protectorate.
Do you have neutral country and aly contry and central power too.

[Telvannia]

That map is from the period so i think i will stay with that
but do you think should split russia up or leave it as one country?

Bulgaria was independent state.

I was not too sure about that i will change it as soon as i have some spare time

I think Libya was Italian colony,and Egypt was England protectorate.

libya was independant and egypt was a half under british control but i have decided britain is big enough without giving them protectorates

Do you have neutral country and aly contry and central power too.

i think i might delete neutral countries of the map
and i think that as for making the allies and central powers bonus as well i think it would really make the map odd
so i think i will leave that bit off
