Introducing the MEGA series

The MEGA series is the 1st uniform format of a specific country blown to AW Europe Default size.
REAL recent (>2007) population figures used with Income based on REAL GDP (nominal) of the relevant divisions.
All of these maps uses this naming format "Scaled-MEGA____" and have scenario/preset making open to ALL

Any more suggestions for new maps?

Indonesia could be an interesting naval map

What about England, Wales, Scottland and Ireland?
would be funny because there are ground and naval units useful.

What about Mexico?

Let me do Indonesia first... (all data ready and 20% of map done)

The trouble with UK is that for a normal amount of divisions like (30-40), I need to use NUTS 2 which merges some English and Scottish Counties together which takes more time than making islands out of Japan and Indonesia.

Mexico, I can definitely do the map with its 31 regions, lets put that on the waiting list shall we?

I NEED MORE HELP... IF ONLY IVAN COULD ALLOW MORE THAN 1 CREATOR FOR MAP....

You maybe should make one of russia.

Skrivet av raetahcodeupon, 27.10.2012 at 16:36

You maybe should make one of russia.

I have made Indonesia for now. As for Russia, there are 83 divisions... meaning I have to use at least 300 cities, which is out of the current scale....
Don't worry, I will do Russia sooner or later, just preferably not at the moment.

I have drawn all the borders for the UK map... City input awaits...

It looks amazing

I'm really excited about this, wish the beta would be released earlier. Can't wait to help test this out.

Hmm.... India vs Pakistan?

Detailed Middle East US invasion war maps?

or D Day maps (France)

i agree with Jhon

Pakistan officially has 4 top level administrative regions (before splitting into 100+ smaller divisions) as opposed to India with 28 so India would probably take priority at the moment.

I can most probably make Iran/Saudi Arabia depending on Gdp informations.

France is a definite map. Easy to make, useful for scenarios but only has 22 divisions.

Thanks for the advice so far

Nice work man

Very well done, 8.5/10

Erase all that shit lol
the map of japan is good, but needs balance, you should make Japan Scenarios

Could you make a middle east map that features Iraq, Iran, and Kurdistan?

Also, could you please add Niceville to Florida? It's in Okaloosa county, FL. It would be cool to have where I live on the USA map.

I started off with just 110 cities with Japan and added more and corrected capitals. Now there are 182 cities... The imbalance of Japan's south Honshu (main island) region is purely demographical. See here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiheiy%C5%8D_Belt

For the US equivalent of the East Coast imbalance. See here:

I can probably make Iran with 31 provinces... but Iraq has only 18 divisions.

I try not to allow divisions to have more than 7 cities each for the time being. (Florida has all its spaces full) Sorry. It is just too small relative to other cities... (only 12k population) Even if popular demand calls me to add more cities in the US map, you won't have a good chance...

Sorry bro.
You could still make it... but people prefer the convenience of just 1 filter of "MEGA" to find all the different countries they want to play.

I am contributing the data for the Clan Wars custom map by avatar... btw you are in it. Top dog as well...

is annoying when you stack cities in each other, it makes me go rage.
i like the indonesia and uk london map because the cities are not pasted to each other.
and your china map is not eye friendly

IMO ezzatam, your map looks great.
I was gonna use that same map but decided to copy and paste from Google Maps like I did with my California Map, then break up the prefectures into sub prefectures and cities.
Also Hazardous, I may or may not make a Japan scenario, haven't thought about it, but you gave me some ideas now that you brought it up.

Something called population density mate.... I have already tried to avoid as much as possible. If you think Japanese cities are stack close together, you should go and see Utah's Ultimate Europe. MegaJapan is mild in comparison...

Dude, awesome work!

I would just suggest using less cities. Some places, especially in Japan, are awfully cluttered and won't be much fun to play. We learned long time ago that you have to sacrifice some accuracy to improve gameplay.

Ivan, thanks for the response, it is really encouraging for us "mere mortals". Everything is standardised at the moment and I enjoy this.

Only the Kyoto-Osaka-Hyogo and Tokyo-Saitama-Chiba areas are clumped... the other 40 of them are fine...

If I removed some cities there, only the reinforcement will really change. I don't prefer a poor & small province taking a larger province easily (eg: Cuba taking USA)

I mean the map has only been played 1 time and it was before the update of city addition. I have been trying my best to avoid such occurrences now, I ensured that no single city Division existed and added balance that way.

Yes, but I was going to blow up the map that I was going to use which would separate the cities a little bit more and not have them cluttered up.

My map is 2860x 3586 already... If you blow the map up then the North East and the South West will have a lot of travelling to do...
Just a word of warning...

Btw, I am making my 8th and 9th map on Mexico and Turkey respectively.

Skrivet av Skanderbeg, 31.10.2012 at 15:18

You should make map of Yugoslavia, 6 republics, bunch of cities

with TO* regions it would be epic


*TO- Territorial Defense/Army

I have been adding up the regions for the countries in Yugoslavia... total of 103 Divisions... You probably have to wait for it like Russia... Sorry...
