A map worth aiming for

[unmerged(29041)]

It may not be the ideal map for EU3, but graphically it is superb. It is the map for a new game being developped for Aggression: Europe 1919.

It is worth a sight.

provinces are too big...

Are the textures taken from Google Earth maps?

 

[Skarion]

the textures are awesome at least

 

[Tunch Khan]

The best game map ever. I am sure they can easily adapt to smaller provinces.

Looks awesome.Provinces are too big through.What is this game?

Seems to be a Diplomacy clone of sorts. I find the cloud formations over southern Spain kinda amusing.

They are clouds allright, but the general layout is excellent and they can easily pass around as snow. They don't disturb me much at all.

I really like the look too. The angle is kind of bad, and I wouldn't mind a more "art-like" look over the photo-realism thing they have going on. Still, it's a very nice map they are using.

Is the actual map/terrain 3D?

agreed. arty looking is best - specialy if it's around "15th century maps" art looking But I confess I'm still afraid of any 3d map...

There just needs to be a lot more work on the textures in EU3 from the textures we've seen... this is a perfect example of how better textures would help.

Couldn't agree more with you. It's a matter of the textures. And WTH, I bet that map is not going to be so moddable as the EU3 one.

It would appear the rain in Spain falls mainly on some very specific plains.

A pretty map but not quite the kind of thing I'd like (nor expect) to see in EU3. If it were up to me and I had the artistic skills to do it (working on that ), the EU3 map would look like a combination of Da Vinci's map of the Val di Chiana* come to life and the beautiful engravings of Braun and Hogenberg's Civitates Orbis Terrarum for the European and some of the near eastern and north African cities at least.

Edit: *The detail shown at that website doesn't do justice to the map in its entirety. I couldn't find a better image of it. There's a black and white plate of it in the paperback of Roger D. Master's Fortune Is A River, which by the way is a very good read.

Here is one. Those Braun and Hogenberg maps are nice as well.

Since they (P'dox) are intent on going 3D I'd like to see a more fanciful map, one that looks pleasing to the eye.

Not clouds, snow in the sierras. Must be winter.
Thing is it is wrong to have trees in a map with any sort of reasonable scale. How low do you have to be in a plane to see trees? Forests have to be represented by a different texture or color than plains. That's it.

Those are most definitely clouds.

Anyway, I agree with what Alice is saying, a stylized look mimicking period cartography would be pretty cool.

Though I must point out how nice the continental shelf looks in that map. The submarine relief being accurate helps a lot with the photorealistic aspect.

I agree with you. I'm not looking to see the kind of map we're seeing in this screen, rather just a generally increased texture quality in whatever style *is* chosen.
