The reason newfoundland is dense is because it was the perfect location for Ireland, thats all. I re-rearranged from the previous version and it was quite challenging, so re-re-rearranging it even more is pretty daunting

That's what I figured, and what I would do in your situation. However (and perhaps I'm just a bit biased here :rolleyes:), I do think California should have comparable province density compared to the East Coast, rather than Montana. De Jure Ruthenia has ~23 or so provinces on your map, around the same number as in Florida. If those were crammed into California, the density would be just enough, though it would actually still be less than Florida and most of the East.

Depending on how much effort you're willing to put into it, within the region, there should be much greater density around the Bay Area and the Central Valley. LA may be the largest city west of the Mississippi today, but in a pre-modern society, the fertile agricultural land and traversable rivers of the Valley would support far higher population density in the north than in the south.

Terrible me for bumping this at all, but what map projection was used for this? I want to line up this map with a modern map of the Americas and see if I can suss out where exactly everything is-- it's hard to eyeball the location of stuff in the Great Plains, at least.

where will you put Jerusalem ?
Mirror map would say it should in Mexico but it doesn't seem to be what you are going for.

on OP : nice twisted idea !!

Jerusalem SHOULD be in Savannah Ga, that's where Ogelthorpe thought it was going to be. See Savannah and Jerusalem are on the same parallel line. If you could go due west from Jerusalem, you would sail directly to Savannah. General James Ogelthorpe thought he was going to find the Garden of Eden in Georgia. HAH! yeah, it's a garden alright, it was founded in the middle of a swamp!

While stuff like this doesn't usually interest me, that map is absolutely beautiful! Is it the same one being used for the Apocalypto mod?

EDIT: Nevermind, seems it does.

@Teutonic_Thrash, If you want to help with mod we could use it. Caligulabob let us use Apocalypto as a starting point, we are just calling it Native America for now. If he does not care we may re-use Apocalypto as the name though. Unfortunately most of the mod team are busy with real life and have not had much time. We have created cultures and religions, all provinces have native names and we are currently working on Kingdoms and Duchies. I also have a list of events for several cultures/religions but nothing in-game as yet.

I'm also wondering the same thing. Any idea what the projection is? Was there a particular map you traced over?

I am not sure where the original came from but they way I am locating native tribes is based on the rivers. He did a really good job on most of them so if you have a political map with rivers you can figure out where most things are.

I have the Mississippi, Red, and Arkansas rivers completed and most of the files are updated. Anyone want to help with adjacencies.csv? I can get you the files if there are any takers.

I could finish the whole damn map in about 10 hours if I could just have a block of time to work on it but I have been in the field all but one day in the last 3 weeks.

How far along is the updating process for this mod? Can you estimate as to when it will probably be playable again? I love this concept and I am really eager to try it out as soon as possible.
