Yes, we don't want Song to be too OP.

also, don't invite me to the final trial.

On behalf of zxctycxz (my IRL friend)...
the map is almost finished, but we need some help deciding on how to style the bottom bar with the religion bonuses, as its not very pretty at the moment.
one of my suggestions is to make it look like a temple made of sandstone or marble, but we want to hear your ideas

I approve!

Great work as always from zxctycxz. Just some notice. As I know the Nogai horde came with the mongols in 13 century but I cant tell contemporary name instead of. Bassarabia named after Basarab who birth in the 14. century, rather use Atelkuzu for Bassarabia and Levedi for Western Steppe, these are authentic names for the regions by the geographic work of Byzantine Emperor Purple-born Constantine.

You misplaced Esztergom city, it is in Székesfehérvár territory (wich is used for Pest city) but very close to Presporok territory, so Presporok would be misplace too but lesser misplace than in Eger territory. And rather name Buda city for bonus instead of Pest because Pest is in the other side of Danube and it was unsignificant town in that time, Buda was the royal city with castle.

And if you used hungarian names almost everywhere in Hungary its more consistent if use evreywhere (Hunedoara-Hunyad, Zvolen-Zólyom, Presporok-Pozsony).

Perhaps base them off of famous religious buildings-

model the Islamic after the Umayyad Mosque, the Indian after the Thiruvarangam, the Christian after Notre Dame, and the Buddhist after Potala Palace

Or symbols instead of buildings. Cross for christians, crescent for muslims, Aum or swastika for hindus and wheel or lotus for buddhists. Of course nicely detailed artistic ones.

Thanks Urfang, I will implement those changes. I may indeed use religious symbols instead.

Dont worry to use swastika, the hindu swastika is not the same as nazi version. But here is some beautiful Aum too:

Oh, well I saw your post after I added the Swastika. Is there much point changing it?

Also some wheel of life.

I believed the symbols will be as big as the buildings was this is why I put high def symbols. Will be there other stuffs why make them smaller and let there a lot of space?

If you let them as small indeed better the simple shapes.

Well I don't want the symbols to be too big, so I'm trying to think of something else to put there.

Okay just one more thing. In high zoom the fill dominate the shape not the outline, but in full view the white outline become more pronounced, especially in the wheel and crescent the black fill almost lost. And the bright symbols dont look as good before the bright background.

I think if you try a grey or black outline the contrast will be more aesthetic.

Beautiful.

But try to decorate the symbols.

cool map can't wait to see it complete

my suggestions:
1) Add more large territories in africa to make the blue and yellow bonuses on the right of it look less sticky-outy
2) Add religion city bonuses
3) Shift the middle box to the center and shrink the right box
4) Make left box bigger by having the religions arranged in columns
5) Make the whole bottom bar thinner and reduce the map dimentions
6) Put credits in the right box
7) Fancy detail on title box

YOU'RE OLLIE BYE???

Also, love the new map you posted here! I like how you included the different regions of the Old World.

Again, I'm a huge fan of your videos, such as your history of India one!

Keep making maps zxctycxz!!!

Thanks for the support, iamegnirc :)

And now, a quick commercial preview for an upcoming cartoon:

Mapmaker: The Legend of Ollie

"Territories. Bonuses. Connections. Background art.

Long ago, the map lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the broken connections were found.

Only Zxctycxz, master of all mapmaking, could fix them, but when the map needed him most, he retires.

A thirty years (war) passed and my autist clan leader and I discovered the new mapmaker, an youtuber named Ollie Bye.

And although his mapmaking skills are great, he has a lot to procrastinate before he's ready to fix connections. But I believe Ollie can update the map."
