I will be out of town until Sunday afternoon, but as long as the deadline for map submissions is not moved, it's fine by me.

Yup, all this sounds very much like what I had in mind.

Are you by any chance referring to Molvania? :)

The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk was signed in March 1918 in OTL. In the treaty, Russia gave away quite a lot of its western territories (roughly modern day Baltic States, Poland, Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine) to the Central Powers.

I never thought you meant any disrespect - I like questions and constructive criticism of my maps. As for the development of such a region - there may be grudges and enmity between the new Catholic masters and the local Orthodox population, especially if the masters keep trying to convert all...

Some kind of socio-geographical map from a steampunk / clockpunk world or a part of it.

Thanks for the praise :) Troyer IV - in this scenario, I envision the Order being led by very idealistic Grandmasters, who are more keen on pursuing their goal of bringing Catholicism to the heretics/heathens rather than obtaining more solid strategic gains. Besides, they have a trustworthy...

Yeah, I thought the German will be funny - I never managed to learn the language, despite six years worth of teachers hammering it into my skull :( If I do anything else with this, I will improve the rivers.

When the Grand Duke Jogaila of Lithuania was baptised by the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order in 1383, an age-long feud came to an end. The new allies, Lithuania and the Order, combined their forces to fight the Golden Horde of the Tatars. To this end, the Order was granted a sizeable land...

Well, if Estonia and Latvia were restored to their Interwar borders and Albania given independence, this would look like Europe just after the Anschluss, wouldn't it? So the differences aren't that many :)

Hungary, not Hugary ;) Also, the colours are very very saturated, and the whole map is very small.

Huh?:confused::confused::confused: LordInsane, when is the PoD for your map?

I agree with the above - two weeks is better.

Is there much need for a non-competing moderator? The way I see it, the moderator in question would not be involved in choosing the winner in any other way than the other participants, so he might as well compete.

Me and several others tried starting a continuation of map challenges about a year ago, but stopped because the interest died after the fourth one or so. I still support the idea though.

Yeah, there is a HoI 2 mod for WWI. I haven't tried it yet, but I hear it's very good. As to why HoI 2 doesn't cover the Interwar - it's because it's a war game, not a nation-building game, and the only way the engine could deal with the social, political and economical developments in the...

I remember a couple of years ago, when everyone was applauding thrashing mad for his great mapmaking skills in the Paradox forums. He was just in a higher league than the rest of us. Now you have once again moved to a higher league, way above the heads of most other mapmakers. I am humbled by...

After watching the recent Star Trek film, I mentioned to some friends that the plot disregarded the butterfly effect. One of them replied - "Well, they are in an alternate timeline. There is an infinite number of alternate timelines. Why not choose the one where most things are very similar?"...

I can't remember the name, but there is a book set in a Universe where space is hyperbolic and as a result, the surface of the Earth is also a hyperboloid rather than a sphere, so it's impossible to cross the Pacific Ocean. The book's plot starts with Britain losing WW2 to Nazi Germany because...

What Olafoaf said. In addition, keep in mind that you cannot have more clerk pops than craftsmen pops in a factory (actually, it may be that you can't have more than 2 clerk pops for every 3 craftsmen pops). However, the more clerks you have, the more research points you will get and, at least...
