I've added borders of (old) Inner Mongolia, more or less like here (pink outline):

Actually, I was refereing to the prov. names you would use for Inner Mongolia (which should use Mongolian names), which "republicofchina" tried to replace with Chinese names.

Seriously man, this is so needed in Darkest Hour, especially in any modern day scenario. Huge props for starting this.

Truly beautiful.

But will you add more islands in the South China Sea?

I could live with Chinese names in Inner Mongolia as it was mostly inhabited by Chinese in 1936 and its administrative provinces were under Chinese (provinces Ningsia and Suiyuan), Manchukuo (Rehe province) or Japanese (Chahar) control, but Sinkiang and Tibetan names stay in local languages.

Truly beautiful.

But will you add more islands in the South China Sea?

Which islands? As far I know the other islands in that region are just extremely small rocks or atolls.

he probably meant the ones causing trouble right now

First I have to say that I thought there were a lot of small islands in South China Sea. So never mind the number of islands.
But, as I look up to Wikipedia, it's said that the Spratly Islands/Quân Dào Truòng Sa is currently controlled/claimed by totally five governments(PRC, ROC, Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia). Is it possible to split the province a bit?

I'll see what can I do, there are some possibilities, Spratly Islands could be split on 3 or 4 provinces.

These atolls in the South China sea have no strategic or geographic value. They are important from an economic perspective only as the economic zone around them is rich in petroleum and fish resources. I see no reason to have them in DH.

Xinjiang Province

Khobogsair→Hoxtolgay
Teke Tuba→Tomurlik
Pulu→Nur
Galtshilik→Avat
Toskjrgon→Puli
Shaueshek→Chöchek
Shihenze→Sawen

These are historial place names,but I can't find Uyghur translations.
Manas→Suílái
Karamay→Dúshānzi
Altay→Chénghuà

Well, it's obvious that this map has not the same design philosphy as adding just provinces with strategic or geographical value, but it adds also provinces with historical value during 20th century. Maybe splitting them in three provinces it's too much, i think that one prov for each of them is enough.

I've made Spratly Islands 5 provinces archipelago, just to allow all modern claims of Philippines, China (PRC and ROC), Brunei, Vietnam and Malaysia.

I planned to use Uyghur only where Uyghurs are majority (mostly central and south-east Sinkiang, Tarim Basin) and transliterated names of Sinkiang minorities in other provinces, like Tajik name Toškjrgon (BTW isn't Puli the name of area where Toškjrgon is placed? we use only town/city names), Mongolian name Khobogsair and Kazakh name Shäūeshek. Manas and Altay names were planned to be in Kazakh language, Qaramay in Uyghur.

Are the color scales complete? I'm sure I tried them at one point, but there were a lot of black areas. I think they would do very well if you released the complete set separately before completion of the map. (BECAUSE THEY ARE SEXY AND I WANT THEM )

Seems like the colorscales go through a significant change in darkness when used in DH, why is that?

 

[unmerged(534495)]

Puli is the name of area where Toškjrgon is placed.The Qing dynasty and ROC used it as official name because there had been a kingdom called Puli.

I think I can't answer on that question. As far I know there weren't such changes in Darkest Hour in comparison to Hearts of Iron 2. Could you post screenshots of how do my colorscales look like it in your game?

Puli is the name of area where Toškjrgon is placed.The Qing dynasty and ROC used it as official name because there had been a kingdom called Puli.

I would rather keep Toškjrgon name as I always use town names.

Are the names in Tibetan section in Tibetan language?
