Maybe I interprete this the wrong way but to me it seems that the regional limit is gone.

I guess even IF the region limit was gone then still afaik the last version of Inferis' tool won't allow compiling maps with more provinces. Region limit was as much hardcoded there as in the maps.
Is Inferis still even around on the fora btw?

Bleh, I do not remember that making screenies from photoshop was so hard . Anyhow, after a few failed attempts I managed to make those 2 showable:
Germany as the most obvious example of using discontinuous provinces (colours should make clear which parts are under the same ID). Essentially designed in 2007 already, then resized down for the eu3-map, and here reused with some changes (like inclusion of provinces for new countries in eu3) for watk4. I'm showing this already to turn off those who really don't like going crazy on detail or oppose dividing provinces - be aware of what you'll get. However, this has been done much less outside HRE and nearly not outside Europe.
An early version of this was already previewed 2 years ago.
Note another 'heresy' against my previous beliefs: names using non-standard letters. Whether the naming will stay this way, or I'll remove name labels completely is still to be decided btw.
Australia, which was the first continent I ever designed for watk, required imo a serious upgrade. I wanted to connect the parts divided by PTI, which was kind of ridiculous, and merge some smaller inland provinces. I eventually included more territory (area settled till 1860 or so) but with addition of just 2 provinces or so.
Next week I'll try to put up something from Asia. Map work during the weekend is off-limits.

The only important strategic thing I would fix on that map is “Ticino”: I would connect it to Tirol to simulate historical importance of Valtelline valley as a pass from Spanish Habsburgs Lombardia to Austrian dominions. Perhaps it would provoke more conflicts for it around as historically.Bleh, I do not remember that making screenies from photoshop was so hard
Oh, better leave all the good nice umlauts etc!Note another 'heresy' against my previous beliefs: names using non-standard letters
Hmm, indeed, these 2 ought to be historically connected, an oversight of mine
. Will be fixed before release.

Apparently we'll get another MyMap.
I feel turned off now. 
Pshh, my projection looks better than the one used on mymap . Also, did mymap have divided provinces then? I checked it once or twice but didn't find any myself

There were (suggested by me) long time ago. But removed later. Only Cleves-Ravensburg remained.Pshh, my projection looks better than the one used on mymap
Haha Metz will be a hell to defend !
Indeed. Looks like you can move from Champagne through Metz to Baden as a shortcut and save heaps of travelling time.

But that could be told of many not divided provinces as well. Travel from Liege to Franche Comte will be definitely faster through Champagne than through Luxemburg/Lorraine, while one could assume the travel distance is the same
. Travelling through Metz will save 1 province, I don't cal hat 'heaps of time' really...I added Pilten as divided province too btw
Please Kasperus may post a few more pics ?
I wonder what kind of Magic you will cast upon us with Italian States....:wacko:

4 previews this week, 2 for Europe, 2 for Asia.
I've never been a fan of dividing Japan into multiple countries a la agceep. In any case not until I saw it working quite nicely on mymap. Still I'm far from sure that I will include such a split-up, but in any case I tried to include more provinces capable of making Japan more interesting for those who do want it divided up, based as much as I could on 15th/16th century maps, upping it from 13 to 22 provs. Of course I could not pass on the possibility to enable some Dutch imperialism through Deshima.
Eastern Indonesia and Papua is mostly similar to watk3, although I axed southern part of New Guinea which, well, is mostly uninhabited even today. Instead I thought Biaks might be more interesting. Also Solor will be colonizable. I made also a little effort to get more 'historic-native' names for a number of provinces.
Europe was not on the menu for this week, but I'll include 2 more precise previews here as well.
Not a lot of magic in Italy I believe. Mostly the setup I used in eu3-map. Only additions of Monferrat and some splits in south Italy. Otoh a merged Sicily for now. Following the popular trend on including Avignon, but I saw no point in inclusion of Lucca (nor could I due to region limit anyway)
Lithuania, here region limit hurt me the most, so for now no more provinces here, although that might change in the end. In the meantime Herr Doctor is free to suggest on a better setup here but without the addition of 8 more provinces. Most changes done here are for the Baltic region and Russia, again mostly based on my eu3 work, although I also failed in including 4 Upper Oka principalities on this map (1 will have to do). Polish setup remains a bit uncertain as I changed it quite a few times, not able to make up my mind whether I will re-include the partitions borderchanges a la watk3 or not (makes no difference for the number of provinces here).
