History of the Rise, Glory, Decline and Fall of the Ottoman Empire

[jim panse]

i´m not content with the north turkish coast, still working on it.

btw, i want to impede troops crossing rivers to make it even more realistic. (1) what do you think and (2) is it enough to lay another terrain type on the sqares where a river flows?

It took the combined might of the ottoman army and the vassal Christian armies to scale the walls of the last imperial possession in Asia Minor in 1380. Sad story there.

And among them an Imperial army of 2.000.

Sad story indeed......

i just finished the map. wanna risk an eye?

[Heresson]

Yes

[Arthedain]

indeed.. let's see

First Eyes on the Map!

Ok, it took me much longer than expected but here is the v0.6 of the map i will use.

This is the overview:

[jim panse]

And some details ....

(the italian peninsula, as you may have guessed; don´t mind the units)

[jim panse]

some more details ....

(feat. the Aegean Sea, Greece, the south-eastern part of the Balkans and the west coast of Minor Asia)

[jim panse]

The weird area between the mountains and the hills should be some kind of highlands. This terrain type at least will be improved.

You should just probably borrow a map, Jim...Italy look alright in the north, but sort of corrupts near the south(Bari and Otranto), and that coast of Asia Minor looks horrid, sort of.
But at least if the map is large the final effect will be a good one.
I've seen worse maps before, especially the Cross & Crescent one which is well...a crime against good geography.

[jim panse]

thanks for your nice words ... i know that it´s not optimal and the map needs improving. i told you all before that it´s about v0.6 version. and you know really that diagonal lines can´t be drawn ....

whatever you think i will stick to that map. it took me nearly a week and i think the map isn´t that back you say. anyway, your opinion, my opinion. any opinions else? for good or ill are welcome

[Valuk]

So, Jim, still working on it?

If Poland isn't on the Map, how are the Poles going to save Western Civilization at the Battle of Vienna?

Indeed, true! Only little part of Poland (Ukraine) is on the map...
Send it to Mercator/Jorrit Vermeiren, he will surely make it a bit bigger to fit more Poland in.

The map isn't perfect, but it's bearable.
I won't complain.
Not that I'm nice. Just that I'm making a map myself now and as I experience difficulties operating touchpad,
it won't be as perfectionist as it should be.
