Detailed map of the 'sickly Europe' from my 1984 map series:

Nice. Do you have any more of these?

That is beautiful.

Have you checked out the "Images of 1984" scenario in Post-1900? It's a TL dedicated to the Airstrip One scenario - thought you might be interested.

Map of Tellus, ca 3E1871, from my story "Awakening". (see link in sig for story thread)

Oh, that looks good. Even though you might see some similarities, its refreshing different.

 

[Fardell]

Anywhere you want.

Actually, a long time ago I wrote a Basic programme to do just this, but now all it takes is Matlab with their mapping toolbox. If you have that (I got it for work-related reasons), the only change needed to produce a different map is to change a latitude and longitude value. In fact, Matlab can also portray many different projections.

I can do a few requests (if you supply the latitude and longitude!). The only problem is that the maps apparently cannot be written to a file directly (I think), so my screen size is probably a limiting factor.

Ok, maybe you can do it with Canberra?

(It should be around 149 degrees East and 36 degrees South)

Distort the verticle lines?

If my Star Wars knowledge is right, that text is the written language of Galactic Basic.

Yes but it doesn't say anything.

Just curious: almost all map projections have the North and South poles at their top and bottom ends, and there are usually good reasons to do so.

Very cool

Nice though hard to make out some things.

Vielen Dank!

That is the point of that map. I was trying for the effect of an old copy that has been used a lot and been damaged. My fiancee got me a few CS3 Tutorials that I'm going to try to use to improve the look of the damage.

So don't try to use it to discern things, I'll post clean maps eventually that won't be damaged, and thusly will be much clearer.

Yes!..........

Alternate balkans, by the way if anyone could give me a good idea for the province with the city named nish, i'd be grateful

Looks nice. Why is West Ukraine outlined? What's going on in Smyrna/Izmir?

That looks AWESOME. I like the idea of the Slovaks being in the Commonwealth, usually it is Austria and Bohemia when that happens.

 

[Lord Insane]

Austria-Hungary does slightly better on their own against the Hungarians in 1848, but on the other hand, the Russians doesn't help them. Things diverge from there.

The world in 1890.

 

[Mr. Evangelical]

I sense a Brit-wank!

 

[bernooch]

The Balkans map is very nice....with the exception that I just can't handle Serbia-wankage....They've been nothing but troublemakers for 700 years...with the exception of Dusan of course....

I have a good idea for the Nish Province: New Kosovo, that or New Dalmatia.

 

[Codae]

I have a good idea for the Nish Province: New Kosovo, that or New Dalmatia.

"New"?

Why "New"?

 

[Mr. Evangelical]

"New"?

Why "New"?

Due to the lack of "New" on the map.

New Map, loosely based on 1984.

Hope you like it...
