  • Should VJ finish his European map?

    I had some spare time on the evening of 27th. Thought about making a multiplayer-based wwii-scenario of Europe. Got busy again next morning with RL stuff. Should I scrap my work or try to finish it? Would anyone have any use for yet another map of Europe?

    I've done the geography already, but terrain isn't finished yet (ie. the map is all glacier and ocean and there are no rivers).

    Edit: Details:
    Based on Mercator's projection. Gigamap. British India, US and Siberia included for scenario design reasons. Northern Nordic area edited also for design reasons -- I wanted to make it possible to enter the Arctic ocean directly from the Atlantic without adding additional useless 20 units of height (consisting of nothing but northern Greenland, Baffin Island, Ocean and Siberia... it's not like I'd need them in a ww2-scenario).

                  That's a bit cheap isn't it? He's working very hard and 2x0 is still 0.

                    I'll give you $100 if you finish it.

                    All you have to do is get a plane ticket to the U.S., a rental vehicle, and directions to my house.

                    ...

                    By the way, directions to my house are $100.

                      I'll sell directions for $50! The shot of his neighbor is free!

                        Wow, the map looks very nice and detailed... And it's not even a gigamap...

                        [edit:]

                        Duh, it's a gigamap all right... Ignore me, I'm stupid

                          It is very much a gigamap...

                          I've had a closer look at it now... It's very good, but the coastline needs a bit of tweaking here and there to make it look less, um, artificial. Let's see...

                          The Crimea, the Turkish West coast, the Adriatic coast, Italy (that's always a ***** to do because it's so straight at a smaller scale, so it's hard to avoid making Italy look all blocky), the North African coast (particularly Algeria and Tunisia coast), Estonia, and then also Iceland, Greenland and most of the American coast, particularly Baffin island. Oh, and you left out the Baleares and Cyprus (and Socotra)...

                          That sounds like a lot, but it's probably all just a matter of changing a few tiles... Well, that's my opinion anyway. I usually try my best to make the radar map look most natural.

                            An overwhelming "yes" is the answer of apolytoners... alright, I'll try to finish it this weekend.

                            Thanks for the hints, Mercator... Baffin Island and northern Siberian coast are supposed to be a bit messed up, I rushed them just in order to get some sleep that night . Estonia and Algeria are the parts I'll fix for sure, they don't look right at all now that you mentioned them...

                            what's the connection between the flag and Alexander Haig in your avatar?
                            I live in Finland, I like Haig. Simple enough?
