    The Q-BAM Improvement and Core Thread

    Query (and please forgive me if this has been asked and answered, possibly by me, I've forgotten many things)- has anyone got a recent-QBAM-version of a map with the 1830 Five Civilized Tribes on it? I've got a version I hacked together a few years ago (for instance) but it's several QBAMs too...

    I'm fully aware of these things. That doesn't actually stop the fact that traditionally Sunday inaugurations haven't happened, and before the nuclear era, one day usually doesn't actually matter, no matter how much someone might want to split hairs. 'Illegal' is definitely not the right word...

    If March 4 fell on a Sunday, the inauguration was postponed to the 5th (this led to both David Rice Atchison's apocryphal one-day presidency and the similar but lesser known day where two men- Grant and Hayes- were both supposedly president at the same time); March 4 fell on a Sunday in both...

    The NextGen OTL Worlda Series

    Oh thank God Are we sure this is actually accurate, though? I ask because there's been several versions of it, some of which were very obviously and visibly inaccurate to the given key. This looks good, but I don't have my atlases handy to check it. I chose the palette because it was a quick...

    This is one of the most gosh-darn cool maps I've seen in a really long time and I hope this isn't the last we'll see of this world you've made here.

    The NextGen OTL Worlda Series

    When making your own maps, obviously you should just use whatever color scheme you want and it doesn't matter. Traditionally I've been more in favor of minimalistic schemes, but in the specific case of this project, because of the vast scope of the maps and the consistency across not just...

    If you're using MSPaint, you can follow the instructions laid out here in 2008(!) by @Thande (The 'skew' mechanism in more modern MSPaint versions is, perhaps unintuitively, located in the menu that appears on clicking 'Resize'.)

    Why was the 2004 election so close?

    A combination of the increased polarization lowering his ceiling (in national popularity at least; the 2000 and 2004 elections more or less calcified a lot of the state level southern and plains Republican-leaning trends that had begun decades earlier) and a series of missteps that caused...

    Why was the 2004 election so close?

    Looking at it in historical context, Bush did better in 2004 than any Republican presidential candidate since 1988- and by a huge margin. Indeed, 04 Bush was, by sheer percentage alone, tied for fourth most popular Republican candidate since Eisenhower. Increasing polarization, especially...

    Yes. They're one of several sets of borders I tend to use a lot in ATLs for various reasons, and are a regular fixture of my personal borderpool-type maps, and one of the few bits I usually have to make from scratch.

    The NextGen OTL Worlda Series

    Also, just in general, I want to say you guys have been doing so much to add to the useful maps we have; several years ago I was already certain the worlda (and to some extent QBAM) collective was perhaps one of the most accurate sets of historical maps ever made, to the point it might well be...

    Again, thank you. :) I've been working on a Five Civilized Tribes patch of sorts for a while, and I've ended up here: I'm pretty sure it can be fine-tuned to be a little better- the Choctaw boundary, in particular, gave me some trouble.

    Beautiful I kept trying to grab pieces of it off of maps as I trawled the thread but I could never find, for example, that beautiful Austrasian cross outside one of the really ancient Worldas, thank you

    The NextGen OTL Worlda Series

    Could I perhaps bother you good folks to put together a good map of Cnut's empire at somewhere around its height, and/or perhaps something that reasonably replicates this (admittedly achronic) map of Francia? I also wouldn't mind a 1265-ish map of the Balkans/Black Sea/Anatolia region, but this...

    Proposals and War Aims That Didn't Happen Map Thread

    The answer, as with many things we don't have the direct historical cause physically in hand for, is 'yes? maybe?' Either of these are logical constructions for the etymology, and there's not quite enough proof to know which one is true- indeed, they could both be true, as the initial...
