The Quarter-BAM project

I said this is a very early post on this thread, but it doesn't seem my early criticism had any effect on the final product, but lakes/reservoirs are still highly exaggerated in many areas. I also don't understand why some minuscule lakes/reservoirs are mapped but others aren't, it just seems all random.

Seconding this. I think a lot of the 1 pixel lakes could be removed, and the rest trimmed down in number. It may look fine enough with just a blank map, but once you start adding borders, subdivisions, country colors, etc, an overabundance of lakes can add a lot of unnecessary clutter.
 
I think part of the lakes looking wrong is due to the fact that they have all been enlarged to fit water colored pixels inside. It would look much better if we had some lakes just one or two pixels wide with only coastline color.

Please note that I cannot show the warlords in China at the moment. Once an accurate set of Chinese internals have been made for this era, then I will be able to show them.

I was also considering outlining the Mandates in a separate LoN colour... Should I?

I like to give the mandates an outline to reflect their status (it’s just that I often forget to do so)

Also, Iraq is independent by this point, but other than that I’m not noticing any inaccuracies

Thanks for the catch. Here's a correction.

That being said, I also have an interest in ensuring that a set of remotely correct Chinese internals become standard for at least this project, so I am entirely willing to work on that for you.
Do you think you could work on the 1936 map's internals so i can show the warlords?
