well that's just cringy AFNow to await the obligatory complaint for including oblasts
Thank you for pointing those out. Will be fixed in the final version.Pskov. Not Psokov
Vologda. Not Vologdat
Tula. Not Tulat
Not as cringy than consistently complaining about someone else's work to the point that it's become a predictable behavior.well that's just cringy AF
Not complainings but remarks. I just don't understand why don't you listen to the advices. Mate I live in the country we are talking about. I do know that this approach is not applicable here.complaining
Or.... It could be that I simply haven't gotten around to completing the research necessary to finish the historical associations of these regional colors, and that their representation as modern federal subjects on the X4 are a temporary solution whilst said research is ongoing. You will do well to remember that the X4 is a work in progress, even the sections that are posted here as "final products" are not the final product. My main concern at this time is complete the color scheme to such an effect that I can begin my next map series, and as such my focus has been on including as many 19th and 20th century states as possible. The inclusion of Russian federal subjects with their own colors is along the same lines as previous color schemes, including the X2/3, of having US states and Canadian provinces. I've already done this expansive take on Australia, and have begun to do so with China as well. These nations are all quite well known for being federative, and many ATL projects revolve around major federations balkanizing. So, the inclusion of, heaven forbid, Lipetsk, is more a nod to ATL map makers than it is to any OTL maps. I must remember my target audience for this color scheme is housed primarily in a place called Alternative History Forums.But you prefer not to point every historical province, every russian principality, every slavic tribe, every very unique indigenous ethnic group of our land. Why do you make it this way? Only because you can't understand that not in all countries administrative divisions = historical regions? Or because you are westerner who is used to "one size fits all"?
Wow.Not complainings but remarks. I just don't understand why don't you listen to the advices. Mate I live in the country we are talking about. I do know that this approach is not applicable here.
For example why you have Lipetsk as separated colour? It was founded only 300 years ago. It hadn't got any very specific meaning before communists made it into administrative centre in 1954 year.

That seems soooome bit like cultural supremacy
I believe this is still in progress- you may need to wait a while.Jesus Christ. I've been using the X2 scheme since it came out, but I had no clue it was expanded. And I thought it was too big back then. Is there a download I can get of the whole thing put together, or do I need to just put all the tiles together myself?
Alright sounds good. If someone showed me how to help I definitely could!I believe this is still in progress- you may need to wait a while.
I am so sorry for the late reply! I do keep the most recently updated version on my DeviantArt, and you can find that ongoing project HERE.Jesus Christ.

Eh, honestly I think one of the hallmarks of the X-type color scheme is its fully-vertical construction. To abandon that would be to simply become an oversized color scheme.I've been thinking if an alternative version spread out over a horizontal scale is possible as well, just like the DCS or TOASTER or THICC schemes currently use.
Point understood.Eh, honestly I think one of the hallmarks of the X-type color scheme is its fully-vertical construction. To abandon that would be to simply become an oversized color scheme.
