    I don't think they're trying to claim they made the map itself, but just made a very pretty worlda style version of the map? "The map itself was free to use from anyone." I think is them saying they got the map from somewhere else. They then say they just overlayed some textures to make the...

    What's to be learned from present critiques of your work is that the lines that exist on a map should have a reason for their existence. Borders, even when drawn arbitrarily and irregardless of any natural borders or what's going on at the ground level between the peoples that live there, have a...

    Would anyone happen to have a topographical worlda scale map of Mars handy?
  4. Tellurus: a worldbuilding project

    Just thought I'd throw in a quick bit here. Measuring by pixels with the Worlda style projection won't give you an accurate number for the lengths of the rivers comparatively speaking as the "area" and thus in part the length represented by each pixel is variable due to the warping created by...

    I hate to ask about something like this, but where did you happen to find a completed topographic WorldA map, and would happen to be able to share it? I'd appreciate it if you could make it available. Besides, that I'm most forward to seeing what's going in India and East Asia. A powerful...

    That could be very helpful, but isn't it still somewhat rare and not found commercially in every hilly/low montane area? There was a reason for the vast trade networks of the Bronze Age, especially those involving the movement of tin from often far off locations to others, such as Tin mined in...

    Would anyone happen to have a completed topographic Worlda map? I can find a number of incomplete ones across the site, and I swear I've seen a finished one somewhere, but I've been unable to find it again. If anyone has one and can share it or could make one I'd greatly appreciate it.

    There's to be something with Gold more commonly appearing in very old layers of rock, least I remember reading something to that affect in a book on both the human and geophysical history of South Africa. Iron I know is very, very, very common. If I recall copper can also be fairly, but less...

    Throwing my vote in for Option #1. Partly because I want to see a Hamiltonian America vs. a Jeffersonian America, and partly because I want to see what such an early POD means for the westward expansion and thus.... will California end up staying with Mexico? Independent? Absorbed by the USA...

    Could be at some point further in the war with the forces of the government having pushed into Louisiana and Philadelphia. Though they've also been cut in twain as usually happens with the CSA and AUS pushing on their line from the midwest to the capital.

    Marc's idea does solve the issue of tincture, but it feels a little unbalanced to me. I'll likely be sticking to the idea of using the variant which is correct according to rule of tincture, but without the or bend in the sable quarters. I am grateful for the idea though. Either way, I am...

    These are both quite excellent. Thank you very much. And I can't believe I'd forgotten the rules of tincture. I think I will end up making use of your alternative which follows them. I'll be sure to credit you as well.

    I don't know if this would be the thread for it, but could I request production of a coat of arms here? If so, the coat of arms would be in heraldic terms (as far as I know): Parted per cross sable and or, chief dexter marten couchant gules, langued and armed argent, base sinister marten...

    1): Completely agreed on the matter of the Anschluss. In essence a lot of things seemed to go sideways or bugged out. Normally France never leaves the allies, but suddenly after the Italian war they did and then formed their own Communist faction with Italy. Meanwhile Austria rejected the...

    It is 1946. The 2nd Great War has ended, or as those outside of the spheres of Germany and Britain refer to it, the Anti-Soviet war. Yet to explain how we arrived at this state, we must roll back ten years to the past. In 1936 the regimes in France and Britain eyed the German nation suspiciously...
