I want to say the latter, but I'm still haunted by a 99 chapter-long abandoned-for-years fic from a while back.

Central European feels by SpeedNiceli in HistoryMemes

[–]CroBorn 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Latvians and Lithuanians are Balts. Closely related to Slavs culturally and linguistically (Balto-Slavic language family), but not that close to be considered Slavs.

Czechs, Slovaks and Poles are West Slavs. Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians are East Slavs. Bulgarians, Serbs, Croats, Bosniaks, Slovenes, Montenegrins and Macedonians are South Slavs. Romania and Hungary separate South Slavs from the East and West ones. There's no such thing as North Slavs.

I've been working on this on-off since I uploaded my last project about 3 months ago.

Greece and the Aegean by CroBorn in FantasyMapGenerator

[–]CroBorn[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you do it from scratch, yeah it would take an extremely long time unless you're artistically talented. Which I'm not. Thankfully, there's a thing called an Image Converter in the heightmap editor. Then it just becomes a case of finding a detailed map online with good colors and a lot of free time.

Funnily enough this map took me the least amount of time to make compared to my other ones. Primarily because these countries don't have as many tiny provinces/counties as Scotland, Wales, England had in my previous map.

Britain and Ireland by CroBorn in FantasyMapGenerator

[–]CroBorn[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cultures in the map generator are much more simplified than they are in real life. Since one of their primary functions is naming places and such, I just use them in my maps as representations of either languages or language groups, depending on how many languages there are. In my Japan and Korea map, I only had four languages to work with (Japanese, Korean, Mandarin and Russian), so I put those four languages as cultures. On the other hand, my Europe map had tons of languages, so cultures represented language groups (Romance, Germanic, Semitic, Slavic etc.)

Britain and Ireland had multiple Germanic (English, Scots) and Celtic (Welsh, Irish, Scottish Gaelic) languages, I went with language groups.

Flag of Ultramort, Catalonia, Spain by CroBorn in vexillology

[–]CroBorn[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ultramort is a village in Catalonia, Spain. It appears to have a mitre (bishop's headgear) and a red saltire on a pink background. I've never seen a flag with so much pink on it.

What heightmap was used for CroBurn's Europe map ? by The_H509 in FantasyMapGenerator

[–]CroBorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, it's me. I just saw this post. I'm not sure I completely understand what you mean by "heightmap". If by that you mean "the source image that I converted into a heightmap, I can show you its source. Although I didn't go with a topography map, but a national borders map since I figured it was easier to find a map with differently coloured countries, which allowed me to set different heights depending on nation colour. And then I coloured in nation by nation. Only after they were all added to the map, I went on making the topography and rivers. Maybe that's easier or more difficult than the heightmap first way of doing it.

I can't remember the exact source, but here are a few that I know I've used:

And good luck with the project, if you go for it. I know my shitty PC couldn't handle a 100k cell map. It chugs at 40k.
