[Stevodoran]

[kevin580]

Ok but i will be neutral

Of course.

 

[APDAF]

NO I said pre-World War One tech.

 

[jangofett287]

Also, the map is getting V. messy, Stuff inside japan is garbled entirely, Germany coast no longer matches what it should and there are major artifacts around almost every coastline.
[/rant]
Hang fire for a little while, I shall try to sort things out.
also, put :--MAP LOCKED-- so people know your making an edit, so we don't have to merge multiple maps again.
--MAP LOCKED--

 

[PeriapsisPrograde]

I will stay neutral to Madagascar.

We finished our rail, and explored some land west of Lake Victoria. Also added a port to ship to Madagascar and the east.

EDIT : Map on hold until Jango fixes.
EDIT2 : Request to build railway through Armenia.

 

[jangofett287]

Right, Checklist of countries de-artifacted:
England
Spain
Japan
Australia
Madagascar
Khartoum
Armenia
Next up: Germany (this may take a while)

I think we should carry on because its fun. Lets change the rules tpo start with technologie of 1900 at 1900, but we can evolve new technologies in this alternative version of worlds history.

---------- Post added at 18:31 ---------- Previous post was at 18:29 ----------

but I think th Map-locked is a nice idea, although, for me it would be no problem to merge things...

---------- Post added at 18:40 ---------- Previous post was at 18:31 ----------

but only when we say that map-locked stops after a limited time, so people can't lock it for a looong time and stop the whole drive...

 

[jangofett287]

I'm just worried about the increasing number of artifacts, and the fact the file size has doubled from my last move. Checklist has been updated.

EDIT2 : Request to build railway through Armenia.

Accepted.

 

[HAL9001]

than we have a center/east-european-african federation including germany, armenia, confederty of karthoum and madagaskar.
that's cool!

 

[Solar424]

Republic of Florida Founded, with rail lines connecting the country.
View attachment 7654

 

[HAL9001]

and it looks like there'll soonly be a railway through the federation...

 

[jangofett287]

Right, I've sorted out Germany, now just need to bring the map up to date and touch up the color in a few places.

--EDIT: I have finished updating my local copy of the map, I haven't added the Armenia->Khartoum railway, you will need to add that. ANY EDITS TO THE MAP AFTER THIS POINT WILL NOT BE REFLECTED IN MY CLEAN VERSION.--

 

[HAL9001]

@ rest of the federation: what about connecting khartoum - madagaskar with a second-chanel tunnel - tthan readding khartoum - armenia nad all the four federation-states are connected! :woohoo:

PS: do we have an enemy... :lol::rofl::lol: (joke)

 

[jangofett287]

Need advice on what to do with the dominion of Canada.

 

[APDAF]

Yes you will if you do not give me £100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 now.

 

[HAL9001]

also we shoukld resort the lis on the lower edge of screen so that federation builds a block and rest buiklds a block - inside blocks it could still be sorted after "when founded?".

Oh and new rule: maplock only for haölf an hour or less. if it keeps a longer time: upload the unfinished state you have and give us at least a smal chance to edit it, than you can go on working by maplock again.

 

[jangofett287]

I'm almost done, I'll clean the map at regular 'cycles' List re-organization will wait for next cycle.

 

[HAL9001]

Need advice on what to do with the dominion of Canada.

google it's real borders and use them - google its real capital - use it google railways - use them - if the one who founded it wants to change something - he can do.

[jangofett287]

And the clean map is done. Notable changes:

• Germany's borders corrected to follow geographic coastline
• Color and size of seaport symbol changed
• Several Seaport symbols nudged
• Armenia is now a solid color
• Canada is now a solid color
• Road color changed to a deeper gray so can be seen better
• Roads now all the same color
• Transparency added behind key, and small versions of symbols added so you can just copy and paste
• Complementary capital added to Florida and madagasgar (Didn't have one)
• Sizes of capitals and rocket launch sites normalized (made the same)
• Proposed new rocket site symbol added to key (not implamented though, will be next cycle if aggreed)
• Florida color changed to peach to avoid clash with japan.

A few things I will say:
Save the map as a .png
DON'T use anti-aliasing
Pencil, Marquee and color picker tools are your friends
Please try not to upset the coastlines.
Please use the fill tool to fill in new areas.

Right, get on with it. Spain will make its move soon.

--EDIT: helps to attach the map...--


--EDIT2: a few things I forgot:

• Fixed up Canada as best I could
• Germany's capital is now orange, so you can see it on its background, and to avoid clash with rocket launch site.

If you have any objections to any changes I've made, get over them, the above changes have been made for the betterment of the game.--
