The VT-BAM project
- Thread starter VT45
- Start date
As I said in my original message, I'm happy to relinquish my claims in Ukraine to Tungster, I haven't really been making progress in it anyway. I was just a bit... surprised, that's all.

Myanmar is finished. I'll just claim all unfinished Pacific and Indian Ocean islands before moving on with other big countries.
Question for @Klime
Is there a way you can make overlays for rivers? That's a project I could probably actually stick to without getting burnt out.

My whole overlay production pipeline is broken at the moment so I'll need to get that fixed first at the very least(which will take a while), beyond that I spent quite a long time searching for river data after I made the overlays and couldn't find anything which covered the whole world and was detailed enough to actually use at this scale (both in number of rivers shown and in the detail of the rivers themselves), there's some procedurally generated river data around but it tends to show too many rivers and also just has errors in general. Making the river overlay for the 8K-BAM was already extremely difficult, and most of that data was not suitable for use on the VTBAM.

If I recall correctly VT45 has a way of doing a river overlay which he was going to do after South America
Here are some simple stuff for today:
Niue, a semi-indepenent nation that is for most purposes part of New Zealand.
The Maldives. The tile didn't include every small island and atoll, so two administrative divisions don't have any apparent land at all on the map.
Also, some islands/archipelagos that can be considered done, since they have no administrative divisions:
•Palmyra Atoll - Uninhabited atoll, territory of the US so no adm. divisions.
•Rapa Nui/Easter Island - All of it is considered a single commune of the Valparaiso Province of Chile, so no need to map.
•Christmas Island - An external territory on its own, no adm. divisions
•Cocos Island - Same with Christmas Island
•British Indian Ocean Territories - Uninhabited British atolls, so no subdvisions as well.

Mauritius:
Seychelles:
And a colored map to show which of the districts are different, just in case someone wants to use that:
•The Comoros consist of three autonomous areas that just correspond to each island, so no need to map.
•The Glorioso Islands don't have administrative divisions.
So all the Indian and Pacific Islands are complete.
@Narmatonia Would you mind if I claimed Assam and Bangladesh to help get the Indian subcontinent done faster?
