I'm working on a map called Район России. It's aimed to be something like the big Roman Empire map, only for Russian history and over a much larger time span (Kievan Rusь to Russian Federation). It's also going to be around 3000 territories, with each territory counting for about 500'000 people.
Here is a map of what it will encompase (Slot B is the USSR, just for reference).
http://warlight.net/SinglePlayer?TemplateID=490799Russia, Iran and Ukraine are probably going to have the most territories.
So, I've divided it up into five missions:
1. Naming and Planning (In process of)
2. Making the map picture. It doesn't have to be special, it can just be a crop of the countries involved of this map
http://wc1.smartdraw.com/examples/content/examples/06_maps/1_world_regional_maps/world_map_-_black_&_white_l.jpg2 (continued). However, I do want to list Russian words and pictures of them (Like they do in the Roman map), with порох (gunpowder), пулемет (machine gun) and ракета (missile), and I want to include 4 enlarged cities: Москва (Moscow), Санкт-Петербург (Saint Petersburg), Київ (Kiev) and Toshkent (Tashkent).
3. Making the territories
4. Making the bonuses
5. Celebration
So, while I'm doing number 1, it would be helpful if somebody started doing Mission 2 and Mission 3, and maybe help out in Mission 4, and Mission 5 will be co-op!
The reason I'm not doing this is because I tried...and I'm utterly useless at Inkscape.
So, anybody up to the task, just PM me and/or reply here.
