Seems like the best place to put this - hopefully someone finds these useful... Behold: the Giga-BAM BE WARNED: these files are not for those with older machines. Why? Because these maps are at 1:900,000 scale in QGIS, and the smallest of the maps is 21.6k x 12k pixels - call it 260...

I think it probably would, for three reasons: 1. It'd be movie-villain stupid to ignore a threat to your capital. 2. Suppose WW1 happens without Britain. Germany smashes France et al, and dominates most of the Channel coast, plus a huge amount of the most heavily industrialised continent on...

I think you need a red/white/blue theme, maybe with a cross (or open book) and $ symbol. "House Bush: Freedomizing the world" perhaps :rolleyes: ?

By then though the butterfly wings have been flapping so much... hmm. They may still want to do that, but don't forget that unlike the US, the traditional British model has been to stick a High Commissioner or somesuch in the country to tell the local rulers what's what, even if the country is...

Here we go. Can't get a great deal of realistic detail in these - for whatever reason, the ASOIAF noble houses have really simple designs, despite being around for centuries. http://www.jointherealm.com if you want to make your own BTW.

Hmm, looking back at history, I'm not sure you can have much of a violent rebellion - historically, Britain's tended to lose colonies that have been determined to secede sooner or later. Why did the Americans secede originally? Two main reasons IMHO: taxation without representation, and anger...

Apologies for double-posting, but (with a little help from the GIS Stack Exchange people) got a world map done, and I figured it needed more than just an edit. http://i.imgur.com/TGdL1oR.png About the same scale as the above map of the Americas (and with the same features). Size: 4.4MB...

Was a little bored & decided to put qGIS to use... The Americas http://i.imgur.com/fUXBn6w.png Includes all modern national & state boundaries, plus major lakes & rivers. There are some mid-ocean islands missing (eg Hawaii)... but in my defence, that's only because I couldn't get any...

Thought I'd give an update as to what I'm working on ATM. Long story short, the website I was using for the previous maps is missing a few bits (think parts of Yemen's border, etc). So in between various other things, I've been looking for some nice vector mapping software - and have found...

Another big map. I'm working on one of Africa ATM, although sadly I don't think I'll be able to go much larger due to the sheer size of the images involved :( . West & Central Europe (8321x7621) Note in spite of the thumbnail (the default Imageshack one didn't want to work, guess I broke it...

I've been looking around for some really high resolution maps, and suffice to say I think I've found what I'm after. So here are a few freebies, complete with modern cities in red (which will at least help in placing their historical counterparts)... Greece & West Turkey (2416x1761)...

Finally decided to see about registering here & brought an early BAM-sized Christmas present for everyone :) . NOTE: not a good idea to click if you've an old PC or internet connection, because as the address below suggests, it's a 12,336 x 6,001 pixel world map. You have been warned...
