The Simple-BAM

[CactusCartocratus]

So remember the Cactus-BAM? Yeah probably not. I have scrapped that in favor of this.
This is a BAM basemap i'm making that's supposed to be two things:
1. Detailed, so you can have a properly shown HRE for example.
2. Simple to edit for beginners, and not overly complicated so a pixel here or there doesn't make a difference.
The latter is why I'm as of now calling it the Simple-BAM - it's in a different style from the other BAMs which seek to be as accurate as possible, to the pixel, while this still being rather accurate is supposed to be somewhat simple to edit and contribute to.
So yeah here's the progress so far:

Also if you want to contribute you can of course, tho with the basemap, lets wait with historical patches for now:
Basically to recreate the style get paintdotnet and draw with the pencil tool
Heres the map so far for positioning, just upscale an 8k-BAM by 150% and paste it on another layer

What do you guys think of it so far? Come on I wanna read some replies

 

[DaniCBP]

It does look good, simple but also accurate. I also like the adition of the main rivers!

 

[Pragmatic Progressive]

I think the rivers having been added is very useful for a blank map (e.g. for map games), but also for making historical OTL maps!

At risk of sounding rude, I really don't understand the point of this. It just sounds like you're making a QBAM-but-larger BAM, which has certainly been done multiple times before.
