  1. Map Thread XXII

    That's fine but it begs the question of exactly what is being traded with whom and why the river is helpful to that end. It also begs the question of how this Peruvian society (who are they?) traversed the Andes and found themselves in the best position to conquer/expand downriver as opposed to...

    The borders don't make much sense. You should consider taking into account geographic features like mountains, ecosystems, and drainage basins when constructing borders, as well as roads or routes of migration when constructing possible polities.

    I really enjoy the level of effort you put into the map, it makes for an interesting graphic and a fascinating world. Aside from the mechanics of the zombies themselves, you've got me wondering about the cultural developments in the cities, especially by virtue of their origins: Army, Navy, or...

    Neat! Will the redux be posted here or will it have its own thread?

  5. Map Thread XXII

    The post is pretty clear that the transition from "eat all of China for the Emperor's glory" to "maybe this is too expensive" has been recent and is not fully realized yet. Establishing a puppet state at all indicates a willingness to invest resources into keeping an area subdued and when...

    I would think that would make it the perfect candidate for a puppet government: one that is detested by its subjects and fully reliant on Japanese support to remain in power

    This is all very cool, and although I technically live within its boundaries, I'm suddenly struck by a desire to visit Buenaventura. Very good scenario. I'm curious to know: What are relations like between the various North American powers? There are clearly many that are large enough on their...

    Hard to be "The Sick Man of Europe" if you're not European

    The write-up explains it disappears at the end of the African Humid Period. Humans are already well-established all over the globe by then

    VERY cool. This is going to fundamentally change the economic and political dynamics of Central and South Asia. I'd be very interested in seeing what happens in the future of this universe.

    DC has its own special court of appeals. Even if you gave it the same representation as Maryland in the Senate, it would be for a very different area with a very different governance structure and political history. You might as well fold Kansas into California for Senate representation at that...

    Tolkien drew heavily from Norse mythology for his works so I personally love the idea that ITTL 20th century fantasy will be dominated by magical settings with Roman pantheon and Mediterranean cultural aesthetics. Who knows though, the 20th century will probably look incredibly wild and...

    I don't think it's correct at all to say that there are few original maps being posted here given the original, quality maps we see posted on a daily basis. If anything, this is the height of quality for the map thread. Setting that aside however, it's one thing to repost a cool map you found in...

    I've said my piece, I feel how I feel. It's always possible to leave where, when, and whether to post a map to the map's creator and I think doing so is a matter of basic respect. I'll leave the decision about whether or not to do this to those that feel inclined to re-post others' maps.

  15. Map Thread XXII

    I'm not targeting you but I am expressing how I feel about the practice. Re-posted maps can't really generate any discourse, no feedback can be presented to the artist, nor questions asked about the setting. One of the most gratifying feelings about making a nice map (or any piece of art for...

    If they didn't ask you to post it here then yes, I think it makes a difference. If you really like a map, you can just tell the person who made it and I'm sure they'll find it encouraging. If you found the setting particularly inspired and want to share it, you can make your own map and post it...

  17. Map Thread XXII

    Anybody can make a map. And if a map isn't yours, it's not your place to give it more exposure or not; the original author might want to post it here and see what kind of reaction it gets, or they might not want to post it here at all.

    With the relevance of the Mediterranean, Italy, and northern Africa for this Spain, alongside their massive and growing colonial empire in the Americas and East Indies, I'm thinking Córdoba or Seville make the most sense as cities well-positioned to be responsive to the traffic of all maritime...

    It would be very neat if something like this were to come about: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_Bloc_(proposed_alliance)

    That Austria is headed for a mess of trouble in the coming centuries if liberalism and nationalism look anything ITTL like they did OTL. I like the idea of a strong French-Swedish axis of power bearing down on central and eastern Europe though, through sheer demographic, financial, and military...
