Shouldn't we REDO the Ancient and Medieval maps?

They look like crap, and I think it's time we should redo them to help many people who are in those periods of there TL.

Xwarq did a VERY accurite map of 1400 for the explorers 1400 game

Romul did an updated series from the early 1800's to mid-20th century.

I do plan on actualy doing updated maps, however their's really no point in doing it if the baseap itself has'nt been improved.

I saw that too.

We sould just plan on Ancient to Medieval times thats all.

I'm working on a basemap for central Europe (all territories of HRE and surroundings) that I can use for a good detailed map of the area.

Has anybody seen this map before? Apparently the American Indian communities exercise a large degree of territorial and political sovereignty under US federal legislation. To what degree do these jurisdictionally overlap with the county governments?

I have that map saved on my computer, quite useful really.

The degree of autonomy I think really does differ betwee states and tribes, though in general they do seem to be more or less left alone.

added and fixed some rivers in Europe.

Would it be possible to get a 1900 version of the world on the new standard basemap?

Nice ones guys, but a few nitpicks:

Correct as far as I can tell, but the Rybinsk reservoir somehow shows up when it was only created by the Soviets in 1935-1947.

The Faroe islands are Danish territory, and the Åland islands Russian (Grand Duchy of Finland). Germany should also be re-edited. Either Thande or Romul captured the German states and Prussian provinces pretty well in for instance this old 1878 map:

I've started updating the History maps using the X-UCS, so far I have 10,000 BCE (blank map) 2,000 BCE, 550 BCE, 323 BCE, 281 BCE and 1980 CE done.

I'm planning on posting the series once I've finished (as the originals are) rather than posting them separately.

I think you should wait just a bit, as I've almost finished correcting the Basemap. Aside from some minor ones, the only really glaring errors that were left are the Canadian Arctic and Antarctica.

Well, considering Antarctica does'nt actually change politically until well into the 20th century and it'll be awhile before I get to the point where anyone was claiming ro exploring the Canadian Arctic, I think I'm fine for now, I' really just doing the Early ones right now, I actually am considering going and looking at some maps to see if their are any errors in borders and stuff actually.

Excellent work Morgan. Antarctica looks great.

Ya know what's sort of funny, the UCS Basemap is now actually more detailed than the Q-BAM in some ways.

[Evilprodigy]

if antacrica is getting differnt coloured water to show glaciation in the area then should that also be shown in the north pole as well?

[rvbomally]

Has anyone done the Ottoman Empire's 1914 subdivisions for the Worlda map? I haven't seen it, and it would be useful for alternate partitions of the Ottoman Empire.

[Semmi]

Here's some of the improvements I've had in my personal basemap:

Fixed Onega Peninsula
Fixed Western Australia
Added Iwo Jima
Fixed Lakes Ladoga and Onega
Moved positions of various islands according to the Q-Bam.
