Updated SWMH province ID map

[IoannesBarbarus]

I finally got around to updating the province ID map, for those who may find it useful or a good teaser. This is for the upcoming 2.7 release version, with the new Italy.

Spoiler

EDIT: a rivers/seas/wastelands ID map is here.

EDIT 2: Map updated for Cacao4. This adds two sea zones in the Mediterranean and some impassable mountains in Scandinavia, and tweaks the Dnieper around Kiev so it has a port.

Messy jagged borders between land provinces and sea/river/impassable provinces

You may be interested in using the attached program that I wrote to make such images. Unlike GIMP/Photoshop, it can be told to not draw borders between land provinces and sea/river/wasteland tiles.

Spoiler: Example: MEIOU & Taxes map enlarged to double size

Look at that smooth Adriatic coastline!

Are #1954 and beyond in use for, say, a water zone, or are they still free?

 

[Palfouri]

Is Italy the only part of the map that's been updated?

 

[Teutonic_Thrash]

Is Italy the only part of the map that's been updated?

The Thar desert in India has been added, and Vakhan has been merged into Badakhshan. Other than that I can't think of other places.

1-holding Ghazali in Nubia is gone too, one of the provinces in Jaffa-Ascalon is gone too. It used to be a 4-province duchy, now it's 3. I can't quite remember which were cut

The style choices re: borders and such were intended. @IoannesBarbarus wrote the program that generated the image, and it does not use an interim image editor in any way.

Nice! There are some cases provinces doesn't show their terrain picture in extended view. Is this normal?

 

[IoannesBarbarus]

Intended is a strong word... originally I was also giving the IDs for water & wasteland provinces, but it was indeed pretty cluttered for low value-add (though I could make one for those provinces if anyone had a use for it), so I cut them but kept the borders the same. If I'd thought of it I could have gone either way, but this way is less work, since I haven't taught my script for making a border layer about province types.

So the total province count has decreased by 3?

 

[G.Strategos]

@IoannesBarbarus Thanks mate.

 

[IoannesBarbarus]

So the total province count has decreased by 3?

No, IIRC the province count (or, the county count to be precise) has been kept constant, so however many were cut outside of Italy (6 by my count), that many were added in Italy.

 

[theKing1988]

I'm pretty sure the count is actually down by 1, Ghazali was cut after the final setup in Italy were reached as far as i remember

By request here is an ID map for seas, rivers, and wastelands.

I see you have added something in Naumdal (Noregr) I'm not sure if it is lake/river/fjord? If you "wanted" to add more lakes in Noregr it should be Snåsavatnet (Innritrøndelog) or Randsfjorden (Ringeriki)

I like to add that Innritrøndelog is missing a part (Skeynafylki) wich is now currently a part of Ytritrøndelog, I'd like to see it corrected. This map could help to correct it (under Frostuting)

I have also suggestion for some mountain passages in Scandinavia, the reason for the suggestion is that some areas did have mountain pass and others did not. And some of the mountain passes seem unrealistic to have a large army cross it would not make it impassable for smaller.

Gudbransdalr-Sygnafylki,
Ringeriki-Sygnafilki and Hordaland

Suggestion for counties that should not have access to eachother because there existed no mountain passage between them.
Ringeriki-Telemork
Ytritrøndelog-Jemtland
Naumdalr-Jemtland

Svearike +Jemtland
In Sveariki there existed wast forest and wasteland in the north that created barriers between eachother.
Vermaland-Narke and Jarnberland
Jarnberland- Alir and Vermaland
Alir-Herjadalr
Helsingsland-Jemtland

Gautland
There existed also large forest here that made barriers, but later roads were made in 1100 so it would not be represnted well in the game. But southern Småland should have a forest wasteland between the duchie of Austergautland (Vårend and Finneved) and Skåne Halland wich created the natural border between the countries

Denmark
Between Utland and Holstein theres are large areas with swamps wich creates a barrier to eachother.

If you mean 1828, then that is Salsvatnet.

 

[Harald Fairhair]

Quite a small detail to add considering when the other lakes are larger and more visible.

The Iranian plateau has too few provinces
