I have added tens of rivers there and I will most likely need to cut them so the area is playable :-) Once I get to there I will post early screenies so you can give me some hints which one to keep and which I can scratch.

Ok, great. When you are ready just post the pics and I will be more then happy to assist you in making that area of the map realistic and accurate.
There are some areas of the Balkans where mountain ranges are just unavoidable and where even lakes could be added.


CHEERS

The map is still going through some changes, but thanks for the feedback, I'm sure our Map dept appreciates it.

1 thing - I doubt it would have been called Gulf of Iznik in 1080 - Anatolia (especially the coastal areas) was much less 'Turkish' back then.

Wow! - truly great work on the latest version of the map, Resurrection!

[Resurrection]

Thanks :-) More will come soon! Expect remade version of British Isles first. You will be able to compare old version and new version.

I look forward to seeing this!
The map in my eyes is a very important part of a mod - especially one like DOTS, and you appear to be making a very good job of it.

Resurrection you're godly!!!

[Subuatai de Bodemloze]

If you guys are lucky I might have time to throw the settlements in for those screenies.

[Hengest]

Update, Ireland

Wow, I've just seen Iceland and Ireland... awesome!
For the next ones, could you show us the settlements on them?
Thank for your job.

[Resurrection]

Suboutai is working on it, but there are missing 3 things, not just settlements, but resources and PSFs. Therefore I expect another screenshots of those areas once they are fully completed with what I have mentioned.

[Alexios Komnenos]

Is really the Caspian so big and irregular? And what are those lakes in the desertic north African shore?

Anyway, the map looks really great. Congratulations!

[Resurrection]

Yes it is and the northern parts were not fixed yet as they are Volhian delta.

Not sure about the lakes in Africa as this was generated and this part was not overlooked yet too.

[Subuatai de Bodemloze]

Due to the fact that I am at work again today.. (sunday) I did not have the energy to get much done for the regions.. Though I am working on it. I am also going to be trying to speed up the process imensly with some new mapping software that Res and I are using. So hopefully By mid week I can live up to my part of the bargan and supply Res w/ said info. for you the people.

As for forestry, France should be more forested. Same for GB, Wales and Scottland being a bit less forested, because they're mountainous. You're probably basing on some satellite images. Back in the Middle Ages, forests weren't all cut down already. If you've learnt geography, you should know, that except for plateaus, mountains and steppes, there are no natural grasslands. There's also stuff like peatbogs, where the soil is too wet for trees, but most peatbogs eventually become forested, there's not much self-sustaining peatbogs, most have to be preserved by mowing and other actions. Anyway, a forest is the final, natural form of land arrangement. At the start of the time-frame you have here, people weren't already able to clear so much land of huge, primeval forests which grew in Europe. Also don't forget that the East was way behind with deforestation. Hence you should make Poland, Finland and all the rest there more forested than Western Europe.

Now onto another thing. Can't see it well on the minimap, but you might've copied the mistake of many other mappers, considering Poland.



This thing, called Mierzeja Helska (mierzeja = spit) didn't exist. Swedish maps from XVII (!) century show, that there were 6 islands there, no spit yet. Dunno how much were there in 1080, but it was even less formed. Also, look how narrow it is at parts currently. The current shape is also partly artificial.

I think I will move to Ireland xD

A nice job, Ressurection
