New map: Australia

[Norrefeldt]

There might still be some very minor changes here and there, but the version that is already out is sufficient basis for publishing in the various threads. No time to lose. Try to focus on the issues at hand, changes to the map are very very likely to be included in the first release. It will all be for later releases.
For this thread, just discuss provinces numbered in white! The rest will be in other threads. Maps without the chicken scratch will replace this one as soon as I get my hands on it.

We need help with

• Make conversion list for old ID - new ID(s). This will be used for converting knownprovinces lists in 300 country files. They should be configured like this to be readble to Aegnor's program:
  
  One old to one new conversion:
  

  oldID1-newID1 #Old name
  oldID2-newID2 #Old name
  oldID3-newID3 #Old name
  etc..

  One old to multiple new conversion:
  

  oldID1-newID1 #Old name
  oldID1-newID2 
  oldID1-newID3 
  etc..

  One old can convert into several new ones, but never the opposite! It's no exact science as it's only for this sole purpose.
  If there is no new one that fits, as if it's been covered in PTI, write 0.
  
• Make the province.csv entries.
• Make the 1419.inc entries. (Not the knownprovinces part.)
  

As default provinces coming from a split old EU2 province in the new map get the combined tax values of the old one +1. Countries need to invest some to get the value out of the provinces, and this addition is an easy way to make up for it. There's already too much manpower on the map, and armies are several times the historical ones, and require no investment, so I don't think manpower should be affected. This formula is best applied to regions, like all provinces on this map piece.

Example: A region of old provinces had combined tax value X. Y new provinces added to the area gives a combined tax values on the new map X+2Y.



In the Pacific there's Kiribati 1381, Samoa 1382 and Tonga 1383.

Continent, Region and Areas inserted in province.xls

I intend to divide the two areas on mainland Australia not according to geography, but in wether they were historically colonised before 1819 or not.

Seems reasonable.

Further details

The AREAs in the REGION Australia are:
Botany (Australia) = only the coast from 1282 to 1288, four provinces
Kanguru (Australia) all the other Australian provinces
Maori (N.Z)
Papua (Papua and island east of it)
Tasmania (Tasmania) one province

Might be better solutions. The only benefit with a one province Tasmania is to force some explorer to actually go south of Australia.

It seems good to me.

If you're going to include New Zealand in that region, please call it 'Australasia' instead of 'Australia'. It's kinda important for us kiwis

Sorry, but the name is hardcoded. In any case, it cannot be seen from within the game, and it's the same as vanilla EU2 distinction. The other region of Oceania is only the Pacific islands.
