..that would be hundreds of territories and most of it would have to be letter+number since there would be no space for the names of territories. a map without any actual names would be pretty boring imo

It wasn´t the mongols and not the western empire either..
The eastern empire was wrecked by crusaders and turks before the mongols came.

..civilisation and law is more important than the capital of some loose fragmented empire/religious sect copying and twisting old knowledge.

so.. is this a modern map?

1) looks like "World Fit War" but im old and my eyes are old
2) looks like classic map with crazy troops

I think it has potential though man. Except I would add your own stamp on it. for instance , forget countrys, its really citys that will war.

use different points than the classic map and make ...

not to mention that they are terribly incorrect historically..


All the same, those drafts have potential.

very poor drafts by someone who doesn´t really give a shit about the theme they chose.

Perhaps you could come up with something really original?

Yes. I would have nuked the fucking place. Iran too.


I´m not surprised anymore.

None of you can honestly say that those camera bags were cameras either. Explosives come in bags too. And cameras.

well thornheart..

One second to look up, aim, fire an rpg (custom made and very small) and hitting a circling helicopter?
What video game or b-movie is that?

The rest of your points may be part of an explanation to why these things happen on a general level, but they do not magically turn what ...

Some of the edges of the playable land on the minimap have what looks like minor pixelation or a slightly jagged look.. perhaps it can be gently smoothed out in a couple of places.

2. I don't think you can expect us to tell the differnce in a firefight.



You don´t have to be an expert to see that it´s something much smaller than an ak47.. takes a lot of faith to positively identify them as an rpg and an ak47.
Watch the full version and tell us when the "firefight" is. I ...

Svealand, Swealand or (rarely or historically) Sweden proper is the historical core region of Sweden.

Yes, but borders and administration change in a thousand years. Look at the third map in that article and you will see that ...

Wow!
I stay away from this thread for 20 pages thinking this probably would end up with too many errors to become an enjoyable map..

I was very wrong! Sorry!!

The only thing I see now is that you misunderstood the concept of "sweden proper".. but that is quite understandable since many swedes ...

Knud/Cnut/Canute the great of course!

Sounds more like you have an inability to imagine that things outside of your own country sometimes can not be measured by the same kind of rules. America isn´t the norm for the rest of the world - especially not when it comes to history.
Things are quite simply different. If that is an excuse then ...

Yes, if you think that Europe became rich because of slave trade then you are wrong.

The non-answer to questions 1. and 2. is that Europe didn´t have a large black population like the US, but I agree that it´s time for the UK and France to at least consider having a leader that is less than a 100 ...

well Europe is not a country so you should be more specific..

Are you using the United states one drop-rule when you say black?
Some african-americans and subsaharan africans have lighter skin than some berbers so you need to be more specific about what you consider to be "black".
You seem to be ...

my point exactly.. they introduced it to the western world so we would waste our time with nothing while they build armies to come and conquer us.

You seem a little confused between muslims and hindu. I don't know whether to invole the wrath of Allah or call for Kali.
