Hey ED, maybe it is just my internet, but as far as I can tell there is nothing in Asia and I don't even have a scroll bar to go over there.

Other than that you need to add the Russian nations quickly.

Pretty damn good.

I'll show an updated map of me own within a day. Africa is almost done, and I am currently moving on into the Middle-east and Asia.

I thought that was the case, RD told me a while back. I'll be sure to remember this when I move on into editing the European region.

Europe isn't going to be easy. :unsure:

Sorry to be a jackass, but ED's is better by a factor of ten. The lines on your map look a bit ugly.

Well, that was a bit rude, Q. Correct me if I am wrong and I mean no disrespect to anyone, but aren't the mods supposed to be impartial until they see the final results? :huh:

In any case ... Here's an update. She's coming along relatively well.

Changes:

ADDED - Aral Sea (Body of Water)
ADDED - Many more nations to the map
ADDED - The names of the oceans
CHANGED - Minor border tweaks and corrections (more to come in the future)
TWEAKS - Added 2 more Political Control Colors (Pink and Gold)

Progress report; Good progress on all fronts, Middle-east "Micro-states" added and named. Unfortunately, there was not enough room to name Araam's Occupation in his Northwestern Borders.

Will continue further progress soon.

The Map;

I'd like the map format of Holy Catholic Imperium with the borders defined by ED.

That is rather difficult, to be blunt.

'Tis not a race against time, if your final product is better than mine, regardless of being a month late, then you've succeeded your goal.

Regardless I would prefer not to say anyone's map is "better" or that someone will "win" but more, in my opinion, that both maps are of equal value and we were merely having a little fun with each other in the process of creating them.

I think the borders of ED are pretty damn good indeed. But hey, HCI you did a terrific job too, thumbs up to both of you guys!

Well, I have been busy in the past few days, though my schedule should be more stable for the time being. I've managed to blacksmith a few more countries on the map, but a lot more yet to go.

As for a status report; I'd have to admit, the more I look at how small Europe is, and how many nations are crammed so close together, I'll have to use a unique label system that is different from the rest of the map. Perhaps the tried-and-true number system, I have not decided yet.

Other than that, things run well, albeit slightly slower than I had hoped. Today I'll be putting more nations on the board as accurately and swiftly as I can. Until the next update is posted, wish me luck, my friends! :D

The new maps are looking great. I have no desire to take on a map-making responsibility now that I'm back, so I'm glad that ED and/or HCI are doing it.

Yeah... I don't know... I just don't really feel like I could invest the time it requires. Maybe some time in the future...

I am sorry to hear that.

If you ever want your old spot back, I'll voluntarily cede the position faster than you can bat your anarchist eyes. :lol: :rolleyes: :D

In any case, welcome back man.

Oh, he's probably a Fascist now in full support of when a national crisis occurs and the Presidential office takes complete control over the government legally. :lol:

Heh, yeah, I'm still just as anti-state as ever. Being subjected to the propaganda taught in government school has done nothing to damage my convictions. In fact, seeing what a mess the government makes out of education may actually have strengthened them.
