Map creation not M-BAM creation
as of now this discussion is only delaying progress on the M-BAM

as of now this discussion is only delaying progress on the M-BAM
Because it is not necessary to define it by eye.
Graphic editors do an excellent job.
But this is only what I think.
yes but with the lightest water shade. For now, enjoy monochromity and dye the planet later.
With all due respecht mister pogoboy20 but ever since the creation of the map all you've done is messing around with belgium...
to me it looks like the people who really did create the map are J.Gouw, Fluttersky and Stateless
No offense intended

If you guys would care to hear an outsider's opinion, i think this thread should just be about making the map, people can always color it how they want later.

Every color scheme argument can be destroyed with the following:
1. The point of a color scheme is to remove the requirement of a key or on-map text to define what nations are where. The colors serve as a hardline visual distinction for both what nations are where and the physical extent thereof. As such, they are quite useful.
2. When a color scheme extends in scope:
3. Therefore, large color schemes not only run contradictory to the purpose of a color scheme, they are detrimental to the enjoyment and readability of the maps on which they’re used.
4. Color schemes that differ from other color schemes damage user experience, as the colors they had memorized for various nations no longer apply. So there would have to be a key on the map that tells you what color scheme is being used so that you can know what part of your memory to access. But then you’re wasting precious memory on something as stupid as a color scheme.
So rather than whine about colors and rather than self-aggrandize about who is doing what work on the map, why not just bang this puppy out? Any more of this complaining and I’ll be upset and depressed (with myself, not you guys; I don’t care about drama at all) just take my vector world map–which has all of this data on it already–fix the borders so that they don’t stick out over the coastlines, and find a way to make it more publicly available so that people can have a huge map to use.

God, this map is starting to look amazing. Everyone working on it is top notch. 
I think it's supposed to stay in regions, like the ones outlined on Fluttersky's map.
That's actually a good idea, like to have an all connected one just for reference. But like you said it could crash some people's computers, so if you do make it maybe put it on some image sharing website and post a link?

It loads fine for me, the only things that freeze my computer are EU IV and Youtube, oddly enough.I did it! Paint.NET only crashed 4 times!
Edit: And that's not even the version with the Q-BAM for the background! That one didn't feel like working. :/

Thanks for the credit, but others have done much more work than me. I did about half of the British coastline, a few Italian islands, and that's about it. Most of my posts have been supplementary work (e.g. joining stuff together), rather that directly adding to the map.
