Thank you! I really need to gauge your opinion about which region to do.

Fulmen(1, 2, and 3) and tuore(2): They are Hanko and Porkkala. Suursaari is to be included as a zoomed province. Also, Repola and Porajarvi should be included, but the green and red areas that were ceded to the Soviets as part of Petsamo is way too small for a province. The microstates (as zoomed provinces) is where I draw the line.

Alright, great. :) Suursaari should probably be a "Gibraltar-like" province.
 
Progress image time!!!!!!

Like I said, I added Drenthe, French Flanders, the Pas-de-Calais and also Hungary, too.

And another thing, I made blueprint provinces for the Rheinland, Saar, and Alsace-Lorraine, so the final two could be added (blueprints just make my life easy).

So more on the way soon.

P.S.: I seriously need an E3-friendly map of Imperial Germany's subdivisions. I would thank you if you all can find one.

P.S.S.: Can you also teach me how to make island zoomed provinces, because I intend to include provinces in Suursaari and Leyte(a crucial battlefield within a crucial battlefield)

This may be nitpicking, but is it just me or is Alsace-Lorraine, especially Alsace a bit too large?
 
Alsace is a blueprint province and would be divided into 4 provinces in the coming progress image posts ahead.

The Maas (Meusse) as Germany's western border (from Holland untill where the meuse turns west, see added pic) I think the E3 polish border strip is good, maybe you can make more provinces in there but the border to the east is good. And a Germany wich abosrbed the courland suwalki also sounds realistic (at least better then the whole baltic) from sulwalki it wil crossing lithuania going to a river called Aa.
here is a attachment of the idea's.

You just draw the island in its real size on the map, then just create a small box next to it as the zoomed version. When placing the ids, make both the same color so you can click either one.

Thanks, but I really need a map of Imperial Germany's subdivisions, because I wanted to base all of Germany's provinces on things like Baden, Wurttenburg, Oldenburg, Sigmaringen etc. So if you can find one that fits the same projection as E3/DH, I would at least get started on that.



EDIT: I now have a map, then warped and twisted it on Photoshop, so now I have a working map of Imperial Germany to some extent.

More next week.
 
Do you really think it's worth the effort rebuilding the ENTIRE map? I mean, DH already seems to have a very good map. I would've thought you'd just improve it here and there. Making the whole map again is going to take a looooooooong time and a LOT of effort.
 
Replies:

JRHINDO: By the southern LA islands, you mean the Californian Channel Islands. Either way, they are going to be included.
Fulmen: I think that the procedure would be that I would send the map images to ewphoenix123 to graft my map with the normal map, but the image that I'm sending out to him would be the finished Continent/region.
As for the whole half-core thing, this would be a stupendous idea, even though I don't have the knowledge to mod the system itself to do that.
Beleg32: I think I might have over-done the provinces in Brittany, Wurttemburg, and the Rhineland. I was thinking of removing the provinces of Düren, Redon and Tuttlingen, and merging them with their respecting neighbor provinces (Bonn, Rennes, and Tübingen respectively).
ALL OF YOU: Thanks!
 
Alright, we know this day as always (Hint: It has something to do with images)

I was going to do the entire West Germany by the end of the month, but I think I might have shifted priorities to Iberia. In Spain, I mostly relied on provincial and comarca boundaries.

See you next time!

P.S.: As some of those provinces in Spain are too large, can you find ways to divide them?
P.S.S.: Also, I forgot to name some of those provinces or finish them (identified by blank spaces). As for those that I have finished (4 in Spain, 2 in Hesse, and 1 in Waldeck-Pyrmont), can you find some suitable names for them?
