Next one - again not to much difference, except Epeiros and the next ptolemaic King
Again, this is awesome and you are awesome.
These maps are all f separate years? Thought at first you were just doing updates on one map, but it seems from your DeviantArt that there is some years between them. Do you have any end date in mind? And if you do do further maps on with just a few years apart could you try some for the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars? I imagine there are enough maps of them around (and that you may have made some before), but it was such a vibrant time with borders changing on fly. I'm tempted to suggest the mediatization periods for the HRE, but there would be too many small things to recolor.Thanks! You too!

Of course, of course. I was mostly thinking for when cracks formed and when the larger or more dynastically connected states all started seizing lands form the Church, Imperial Knights, Free Cities, etc to compensate for the leaders of the larger German areas all being failures at beating the French, and loosing land on the western side of the Rhine. But yah, if people were to do maps showing such detail, it would be best at a much larger size and to be used as a base map for people. Not something that can work with your terrain heavy maps. Heck, the terrain alone would probably cause confusion I had in the past, with the many shades of pink for one or two countries. Do you have any future maps in mind, though?A really detailed map of the HRE (say around 1400 or 1500) is way to complex and the scale is a great problem - there are always territories so small that they are practically impossible to depict.
How much of the planet is depicted in the geographical maps? Are we looking at a string of large continents, one medium-sized archipelago, or something in between?This is my first real go at integrating a map into larger graphics. Or in this case a series of other, smaller maps. I declined the choice of a very sci fi font because I figured that by the 28th century we'd be over the novelty.
The interstellar society Kahlo belongs to runs on the Crumple drive, which allows vessels to interact with 4D topography, drastically shortening journeys between star systems (In most cases). Humanity is settled across dozens or perhaps hundreds of worlds. It's a setting that originated as worldbuilding-to-pass-time on downtime between projects but me being me it gained enough coherency that I wanted to give it life.
Some of those cultural points are intense, @Daeres. Could you explain them? Sounds interesting!

Are there any specifically you were curious about? To expand on a couple, the 26th century recession was an interstellar economic and political crisis caused by the collapse of UNSA, the first peacekeeping organisation among the nations of the human sphere. Kahlo was never under real military threat at this time but its economy suffered from a reduction in trade and interstellar traffic. textil.gob.kah5 was a government site that housed a freely available database of paper clothing archetypes, all of which were easily customised by individual citizens. This originated after the growth of the paper clothes movement mentioned. At first the designs would have been printed in special facilities, then basic 3D printers became widely available as a home or communal appliance. The government of Kahlo still maintains design databases, but the architecture of planetary communication has moved on from the internet. Pork vs No Pork is a still extant cultural division on the planet, mostly related to cultures and communities with Ethiopian heritage; Tigrayans formed an early and important community in Cochabamba in particular. It has been a matter of friction in the past but it's mostly seen as a cultural quirk representing the planet's diversity, particularly as the original core cultures diverged, multiplied, and evolved. Sandals became something of a meme on the planet, as their regular use was common to almost all of the cultures represented in the colony's first century of existence. The generally warm climate encouraged their continued use, and modern sandal variants remain the most common outdoor footwear on Kahlo.
Er, not sure the colours on the language map and the colours in the language key really match up properly.Here's a map of an alternately colonized southern half of Africa

Beautiful...
