This is probably my worst case of sneaking in some non-African maps but some of these maps come in bundles that I don't want to break up.

can you PLEASE edit your posts to put all these gigantic maps in spoiler boxes? the thread is unreadable as it currently is.

Alot of these Maps don't have descriptions that do them justice. It might make it harder for people to identify them.
I believe that he might be wanting a reprieve of his computer having to load the browser page with the size of your maps, as I personally am just now noticing that my phone browser is being slow and annoying just to get this reply finished lol

Okay, I guess I can hide maps with a good description behind the Spoiler Tag.

Like, someone should still be able to identify the Oyo Civil War Maps without directly viewing them.

You could always title the spoiler itself and then have the explanation underneath so that it looks combined with the spoiler content when it is opened. If that makes sense .

as OxSpace said on the previous page...
please put these images/geographical regions under spoilers, scrolling down the burj khalifa every time you post to find something is a pain.
the enormous size of the maps makes the scroll-size of the pages equally enormous and, descriptive text on the images themselves be damned, nearly impossible to actually find a given map on the page
 
Fictional Map but with accurate place names and period names

Another well made alternatehistory map. Somethings are simplified(like the depiction of Aro) but for the most part place names and non directly affected states are accurate.

More Alternate history with Accurate placement and frankly, the earliest Map of this series is basically just OTL accurate.

What year are these?
Well, they're more place names and usual administrative divisions names than exact time period names but they are more accurate for 1300s to 1600ish as that's how far back records of that detail go.

But some stuff should still apply before up to 600s like Takrur divisions for example to some extent and after as well.
