Map Thread II

Kabraloth,
I can totally understand. Drawing in statelets like the Thuringian Duchies can be a pain in the ass, especially w/ all those micro-enclaves within. I have also noticed that the HRE borders on your map have a very suspicious resemblence to the OTL 1942 borders of Nazi Germany, WEIRD.

Absolutely fabulous map, anyways.

First post here!

Yay, first post here!

I would like it very much if someone would kindly post a blank map of Europe with only the rivers and lakes. Thanks in advance...

A pretty basic map I made.

I'd rather expect the Swedish Empire to extend into the Danish Isles and the Empire of Germany to hold all of Jutland...

Thanks. And you can only add Austria, Czechia, and Poland in so many ways, so a certain resemblance is part of the thing (but it does look aesthetically pleasing, imo).

I always found it odd that a map of Europe in 1000 AD has Poland with almost its modern borders (considering all the chopping and changing in between) and with the Polabian Slav area almost identical to East Germany...

Close enough

But actually, Sardinnya owns Savoia.

Well, that's not the Savoy region. That's Piedmont.

Yepp. Savoy is that egion east of geneva. South of the bow the Swiss border has, so to say.

BTW, will you ever post that Europe map for the challenge Messiniano and I did a while ago?

Ah yes, forgot about that. I should finish it.

In the meantime, anyone else have any challenges?

Well, right now I'm working on another one of my tea-dipped maps, should be finished in maybe half an hour.

I did mean Samartia, it being the Latin name stated for Russia on a lot of old maps, and thus fits well into the Revolutionary habit of giving Latinised state names (e.g. the Ligurian Republic).

The ASBs like Robespierre

Sarmatia is a name I associate with Poland and possibly Lithuania, but not with Russia, and I doubt that I'm alone in that.

ahscardinal · Sep 15, 2007

Indeed. The latin name for Russia would usually be Rvthenia.

I love the map

But not to be a nitpick, the Dutch coastline looked like this in Roman times:
