Which mod is better? WATK or MYMAP?

[unmerged(36449)]

I haven't had the chance to play WATK yet, but let's say like this; Vanilla-MyMAP is legally crap. Seriously. The minimap is annoying and all europeans have Terra Ignotica in a province next to them. MyMAP-AGCEEP is better with more work on it, and some countries such as Portugal is even better on it, but I still don't really like that they have destroyed the cultures with "Upper German", "Low German", "Middle German", "Norweigan", "Swedish" and "Danish". It's maybe more historical, at least regarding the german ones, but I see no historical reason at all to split "Scandinavian" up. It also stop expansion a lot.

Would agree... the German bit is based in no small part on some dialectic differences in the German language that did not cause any major or note worthy problems (worthy of a 30% revenue hit). If they are going to do that then they need to apply the same logic to France, Italy..and that just makes things needlessly ugly.

I prefer Europa as it is on MyMap ALOT.

Btw, I think that swedish and danish/norwegian culture is needed as they didn't exactly enjoy belonging to us. Look at the snapphanar in skåne/blekinge! They are swedish because we forced them to.

more a factor of tribalism/nationalism then any major differences in customs etc that would define a "cultural" change; and that would be better reflected in increased RR.

My favoured is MyMap. I like WATK but it seems to make things too easy with rich provinces. I also like the graphics on MyMap better plus of course New Zealand looks a lot nicer in it

Can you play the original vanilla scenarios (i.e American Dream) if you have installed MyMap or WATK?

 

[unmerged(51378)]

No. They have Grand Campaign only, IIRC. As long as you don't play MyMAP-AGCEEP, that is. Then you have 1520 and 1648 scenario as well.

Yeah, that bothers me to.. then there should be like north, and south italians and so on.

Kasperus map has soft lines about the borders,
he kept many european provs with same vanilla IDs ...
it's easy to adapt a new scenario there.
WATK 3 was already scenario for MP games,
with no troublers till now.

Yes, a couple of us chaps are having a stab at it

I believe a beta's being released at some point soon. The scenario files are basically finished. I'm in the process of finishing the HYW event files (cores, provinces, etc.) and implementing my cultures, which are basically done.

i look forward to it very much. if you want me to chip in some work just ask.

Well. Having just checked both maps, for first time, for few hours, i must say.

That they are both nice. And solve many issues that vannilla map had. There are some things i don't like personally (like, minute-sized provinces, like Calais), too much PTI removed in certain areas (like, Africa).

There is one graphical issue that sometimes is present, when four provinces meet at one point, and you can't tell at first sight what two provinces are connected.


Although the most important thing is the one i though will be the most difficult. I'm not sure, since i did not counted numbers, but it seems that the economy (tax values mostly), was done without paying enough attention to big picture. Or am i mistaken?


EDIT/ It was 7 AM or something. Forgive me my grammar, please

This has been my feeling too. Particularly with WATK. MyMap seems more balanced IMO
