However, Though you earn your bread by making maps I think that doesn't give you the right to effectively (you might didn't wrote it but you wrote it a way that implies this) to downgrade our community-project by calling it wrong and us being slow cowards not able to finish a map.
That's kinda offending. Even if you didn't wrote that and also didn't meant that, the way you wrote lets us( or at least me) think that.
I won't say this mbam is wrong. But assuming it is a faithful but higher-resolution copy of qbam, it would be using the same map projection. In which case, it uses a projection in which the lines of longitude in the western hemisphere are closer together than the lines of longitude in the eastern hemisphere. If that is the intention, then it is perfectly correct. I don't think it ever was though. If it isn't the design intention, then the qbam is wrong.
My take is that you as a community have made a very accurate scaling-up of an incorrect (in that the qbam was widely believed to have lines of longitude evenly spaced) map.

That is a better point, as any error that could be negligible on a smaller scale would be magnified and carried over on a higher scale (I'm thinking, for example, to a future Pacific Based MBam, which would be dramatically wrong). But for the purpose of showing the historical development of nations, the maps we currently have do a great job, and a constant revision of the coasts and base may actually cause more problems than it solves when it comes to create a new map from scratch.
Depends on what you want to send.
If it's just a province map (like the Ukraine map on one of the few last pages), then only send us the link or take them into a spoiler
(Some people [like me] would really appreciate if large maps that aren't directly mbam could be spoilered/linked so the net connection doesn't kill the site display)
Venezuela, Dutch Antilles, Tobago-Trinidad and Grenada
this map misses connection points
and sorry, but the dutch antilles are a bit misshaped:

I mean that there are no points on this to be connected to the rest of the map
Will add both connection and correction later, ain't at home rn
But with first level divisions only I think. The original goal of the MBam was second and even third + level divisions.
