The NextGen OTL Worlda Series

[Big Schwartz]

I made a patch for the east coast US. Not necessary to implement but I think it cleans it up a bit. Also Patched the eastern states,

What did you do to get the colors?

Maine, the NY-PA border, and northern Florida look so off...

Yeah PA has waaaay too much real estate on Lake Erie

I think your new coastline looks much better in a lot of places, particularly New England since the original map has that very odd "V" shape around Boston Harbor. New Jersey also looks much more accurate. I like all of the changes you made geographically, except for the Delmarva peninsula. The new one is distorted in the center and makes the peninsula balloon up in the middle in an almost oval shape. It should probably be more long and slender than round, more similar to what the original WorldA map depicts.

Seconded, even with the distortion the St. John River (Maine/New Brunswick border) shouldn't be that flat.

What did you do to get the colors?

I made them myself

I made them myself

Did you make each individually or alter an existing color scheme?

Some I make entirely myself, others I alter from an already existing color scheme

Any plans to release a topographical map with a proper legend/key sometime soon?

Made this 100M sea level rise Worlda map.

I saw this topographic map but can't find a blank one of it so I made a blank one using this https://www.deviantart.com/esha-nas/art/Blank-Topographical-Sea-Level-Rise-Worlda-Map-V-2-952632285

Romania truly does not exist ITTL

 

[pelecanimimus]

Anyone has a map with the longitude/latitude lines on top of the map rather than cutting out at the continents?

I have this

Patch for 1989 USSR's administrative division

Came across this thread and have a quick question since I couldn't find this from the brief search I did, but what color scheme do you use? I like the muted red used here instead of the retina-blasting RGB red most color schemes use for the Soviet Union.

From a first glance, I assume it's likely custom-made.

I thought about that too, I hope it isn't though, but it might be...

Hadaril's NextGen OTL Worlda Maps

This project is a complete modernization of the multiple OTL Worlda's floating around the forums and the wiki. Previously, our collection of worlda's was a haphazard mess of maps, most of which were completely antiquated (Rectangular base maps, anyone?). Almost every OTL map was built on a different edition of the blank Worlda, utilizing a disjointed mess of color schemes ranging from UCS to TACOS. Borders were all over the place, in many cases wildly inaccurate, and in every case highly inconsistent with the rest of the Worlda's. For example, the Czech border, which has remained (for the most part) unchanged since the 1100's, was drawn differently on almost every worlda.

The NextGen Worlda Series cleans up this mess. In this series:

• All maps are drawn on the most recent edition of the blank worlda
• Utilize a standard and consistent color scheme (Dubbed the "NextGen Color Scheme", NCS for short)
• Borders remain consistent and accurate over time.

Of course, not all Worlda maps could be salvaged. The first generation of worldas was built on the rectangular worlda, which is so wildly far off from the modern version that updating them would require tremendous work. Some years were simply omitted due to redundency (ex: having a 1100 AD and a 1115 AD map).

2 questions.

1) my biggest one, does anyone have a worlda-scale pixel map of earth’s moon?

2) why is kosovo shown as disputed in 2017 but not 2020 or the modern day, when Serbia has still not, at least de jure, recognized it?

 

[FiskenIsFishy]

Is there a WorldA Morgenthau Plan patch?

 

[Lottie]

I just realised. Uh, that the 'NCS' in NCS Color Scheme stands for 'NextGen Color Scheme'. So it's basically NextGen Color Scheme Color Scheme.
