DPFAR: here's another example map, this one emphasizing supranational unions that are given as options by TACOS. ive cross-posted this into the map thread, so go there for more detailed information:
it also includes a few changes ive made to the color scheme, namely the reassignment of the peruvian/inca-magenta as a "unified South America" color. once im satisfied with more recent changes and color additions, ill repost the latest version of TACOS
i decided to make one exceptionally major change to the actual colors given in TACOS--that being to switch the dominion/protectorate overlay from 50% to 25%--after i started working on a map and noticed that the dominion/protectorate overlays were too dark and too light, respectively. ive also made numerous other changes, mainly to the entry descriptions, but ive also changed around a few of the colors and added in some other things

I think Slovakia should be a dark blueish purplish colour, since none of the other purples are that dark, except maybe Muslim India. The Elves should get some sort of green-turquoise. Other sentient animals* could get a burnt type colour, maybe. The United Abrahamics could do with... a neon green, maybe?
*I'm sure anyone can guess what I'll use that for, lol...
we ARE still missing some colors. here's the latest version; i had wanted to add in some more colors before uploading it again (ive already added some others) but oh well
one thing id like to improve on is if there's anything in the entry descriptions that seem to be missing, or if there's anything that can be expanded upon/given extra purpose to

Yeah, it should be the traditional light blue. Maybe use the Venetian colour for the EU?its all cool, but why does EU have that color?
Bit political, really, to use that. Oh, and Croatia can use the current EU colour.
Oh, and I think we should use the Venice/Croatia one for the EU, and the old EU for Croatia.
Maybe keep Venice and Croatia tied together, but with the brown-ish colour instead?ill consider working on that
ive re-edited the color scheme, switching around the EU and Venice/Croatia colors and amending the Armenia entry to say that it can be used for a Russian colonial successor (more because its the only one in the Russia palette that has room than anything else )
i want to add in some more colors or make some more amendments before i repost a new version of it, though, to make it more significant

Perhaps Genoa can also be used for an independent Corsica?ive re-edited the color scheme, switching around the EU and Venice/Croatia colors and amending the Armenia entry to say that it can be used for a Russian colonial successor (more because its the only one in the Russia palette that has room than anything else
