@hadaril There are some other issues with the 1688 map but this is just a simple one that doesn't require any border changes. Corsica is mistakenly painted as Spanish in the 1688 map but Corsica was a Genoese possession at the time. So Corsica should be recolored to reflect Genoese ownership rather than Spanish.
 
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).

A dead topic Ain't it
Was really busy with finals through may, and I was out of town the first week of summer vacation. I'm back now, looking through the thread and adding revisions this week. I'll be free to work on stuff all day thursday, so expect updates then.
