I initially wanted to put music in it but I can’t get the video to import into an editing program...
The Warlord Atlas
- Thread starter Linbot
- Start date
Here’s the improved version. It’s also a great way to show off my horrible taste in music
Is anyone interested in some more actual warlord atlas based off this?
Sure. The video and the still maps in the same vein as omniatlas would be great (and here you were thinking people might want either one or the other weren't you?)
Partly it’s that fact that the last one was quite a bit ago and I was beginning to mentally file it under the black hole of “unfinished projects”.
But yeah, the atlas maps seemed to be getting less interest. I’ll try and make some more though. At least finding sources and squinting at campaign texts won’t be a problem anymore.
Oh but there was quite a bit of interest in them. Maybe people weren't responding, but then there's such an element of perfection in them that it's hard to respond rather than to sit back and enjoy. I for one subscribed to this thread just to ensure I would see the latest in the atlas.

@Admiral A. Kolchak with any luck, maybe you could become the next Ollie Bye or Emperor Tigerstar. Cause those are good quality maps!

One tip, just use Kevin MacLeod/Any royalty-free music labeled "Dramatic", "Thrilling", etc and everyone will like you!
First, though, let's let the detailed maps catch up with the EmperorTigerstar-styled ones:
Battle of Tai'erzhuang:
Yellow River Flood
Battle of Wuhan Begins
Battle of Tai'erzhuang:

- D - The leader of Kwangsi defeats the Japanese at Tai’erzhuang, delaying the link up of the two Japanese armies and allowing Chinese troops to escape from the encirclement.
Yellow River Flood
- A - Japanese take Xuzhou, but their encirclement of even the remaining Chinese troops is ineffective (1 May 1938)
- B - Nationalists break the Yellow River dykes above Kaifeng, causing a massive flood the halts the Japanese advance (May-June 1938)

Last map was the 69th! And the 70th is already done and ready to be released as soon as I have a neat group of three.
Actually, why not?

Nice. Definitely looks more clean now--though IIRC Sichuan was ruled for a short time under Yin Changheng's Great Han Sichuan Military Government (27/11/11 - 2/2/12)
And oh yeah I should leave a subscription.
It's interesting to see how the Sino-Japanese War lines up with World War II. To that end, I've decided to put together this, using Omniatlas and my own work:

Okay, so I now have a highly superior basemap and I’ve accumulated a lot of new sources and references since I begin the project. So I’m considering starting again from the beginning and updating everything, since a lot of the maps I’ve posted so far, specifically the older ones, are highly inaccurate, and let’s be honest the map I was using was disgusting.
So if anyone wants it I’ll open up a poll and you can vote on whether I’ll continue to 1958 and then redo the maps, or concentrate on redoing them now.
