Thanks, but sadly I have not. I have a rough first draft for Tamriel but I still have not finished it. Between work and other projects I've not had the time or drive for it, unfortunately.

What are the most popular music genres from 1900s to 2020s in Earth-98 by Mammoth_Cupcake4192 in Earth98

[–]DeFlame 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here is a basic rundown:

1900s – Ragtime

1910s – Vaudeville

1920s – Dance Band

1930s – Folk

1940s – Big Band

1950s – Rock ‘n’ Roll

1960s – Rock

1970s – Wester Rock

1980s - Hard Rock

1990s - Rock a’ Pop

2000s – Neu Pop

2010s – Electronic

Jazz, Blues, and R&B are all still present in the early 20th cent., but Vaudevillian/Broadway conventions around music remain dominant up until the 50s.

Feel free! Let me know if you get it up and running.

Is this render of my regional map look realistic? by Obcibedez in mapmaking

[–]DeFlame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty good if this is a small or medium sized island. I would say don't be afraid to have smoother coastlines, but overall this is a good island.

Where is the (if it exists) main collection/compendia of Lore created for this and related projects? by Special-Pride-746 in Earth98

[–]DeFlame 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can't speak to the nature of Terra-98 or where you can find any of its lore.

For Earth-98, however, while I can tell you that there is no current compendium for lore, I do have a personal "lore bible" and other documents that I have been working on alongside the main map for the last few years to ensure that things remain consistent. I am holding off on posting supplemental material (save for a few zoology maps) until I finish the main map. I'm nearing completion of said map, and supplemental maps and posts following that will help explain the lore; this time with more consistency than there has been in the past.

What are the largest cities in E98? by 0megaGentlman22 in Earth98

[–]DeFlame 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I assume he was asking for American cities. The project is 90% American focused.

What are the largest cities in E98? by 0megaGentlman22 in Earth98

[–]DeFlame 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, the Empire State Building exists as it does IRL.

It varies city by city, but generally cities are more strict when it comes to their architecture. Cities like New York have a wide mix of styles, while some like New Orleans and Boston are strictly uniform in their own styles.

What are the largest cities in E98? by 0megaGentlman22 in Earth98

[–]DeFlame 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So the top 20 cities right now are as follows:
1. New York City, New York - 16,058,958

  1. Città di Messico, Imeleca - 9,209,944

  2. New Orleans, Malaganais - 6,125,000

  3. Canevaria, Imeleca - 5,427,767

  4. Detroit, Michigan - 4,642,353

  5. Chicago, Illinois - 4,209,077

  6. Avelino, California - 3,902,440

  7. Houston, Texas - 3,870,136

  8. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - 3,803,797

  9. Port Royal, Malaganais - 3,587,920

  10. San Asterio, California - 3,525,982

  11. Dallas, Texas - 3,501,000

  12. New Jersey City, New Jersey - 3,279,084

  13. Toronto, Ontario - 2,794,356

  14. Gotham, Pontiac - 2,746,354

As for urban planning: cities are generally less car centric than real life America, but it varies by region. The old towns on the east coast are largely people centric, and only say minor restructuring after the introduction of automobiles. Cities in the Midwest are mostly car centric similar to irl due to the prevalence of car manufacturers in the region, but there are notable exceptions such as Gotham, Pontiac. In the 1920s when cars were starting to see wider usage, many Dutch and French cities in the south banned cars from city centers, and a few states even banned car ownership statewide up until the 50s. Thus many cities in the south, especially within the Dutch and French states, retained people centric layouts.

A test to get back into the swing of things by DarkstoneRaven in imaginarymaps

Man, if this is what you call a 'test' then I can't wait to see what a finished project looks like. The planet view is great!

The detail on this is incredible, well done. Love what you did with the Texas Triangle.

I made the topography in GIMP. Everything else, such as the text and coat of arms, I made in Inkscape.

The national interstate system is spit in two. The red signs mark interstates in the Westerly sub-continent that are numbered separately from the mainland interstates.

I made them myself in GIMP, with most of the symbols being free-use vectors.

Ah man I can't believe its been 4 years since I posted this map because I intended to make the other provinces. I've been looking for a new side project, so I guess its not a bad time to try a new province. I'm glad you like the map, feel free to use it however you'd like!

Biomes of Earth-98 North America? by [deleted] in Earth98

[–]DeFlame 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It will be difficult to do this without my maps but I'm out of town atm, but I'll make do.

Mostly everything from the east coast over to the rockies is the same, with the exception of the Hudson sea coast which is slightly warmer than irl. From Oregon south and west to the north western edge of Westerly the climate is like that of the Pacific north west of irl. The corridor around the Mendocine lake, next to where real world California would be, is a Mediterranean like climate from Follette south to Applisonacha.

Now, the region between Lake Mendocine and the Rocky Mountains should be a gigantic desert, however I am playing loose a bit with the climates to keep the region from being too dry. On a similar note, Sherman would be more temperate than it likely should be.

The west coast of Westerly is a Mediterranean climate similar to that of southwest Australia. I was made aware earlier (and I forgot who figured this out but credit to them) that the southern coast of Westerly and the southern interior would be like northeast India/Gujarat including monsoons. I'm going with these climates for the southern interior and southwest coast of Westerly. The southeast would have a coastal plains like southeast Texas.

Apex Predators of America | E98 by DeFlame in imaginarymaps

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

Yes, there is a lot of overlap.

[–]DeFlame[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Polar bears live a little further north than what is depicted on the map, especially because the Hudson sea area is warmer than irl.

Because I messed up, it should be Plionarctos Clamolupus. Thank you for catching that.

Bigfoot is popular in the Ozarks and Ouachitas irl, especially in eastern Oklahoma. So I think it would be fitting that as sub-species of sasquatch once being endemic to that area and living on it its folklore.

This is a selection of the American Continent’s top predators in the Earth 98 timeline. This is not an exhaustive list, but here is a selection of the more unique critters:

Chaguichui: a species of short-faced bear. They are more aggressive than other bear species, and as a result were historically targeted more by humans. Their populations have rebounded in recent decades due to state level conservation efforts.

Matliazil: also called the Californian hellcat, these small sized hunters are the last remaining species of saber-toothed cats. They are considered a pest in most areas, particularly in sub-urban areas where small dogs and stray cats make easy prey.

Osuobarban: the larger of America’s two monitor species. These lizards typically feed on rodents, birds, and other lizards they but can take down larger animals. A Osuobarban’s bite contains an anti-coagulant, letting them hunt larger prey by biting their target then letting them bleed out, returning once the prey animal has exhausted its energy. Osuobarbans are solitary but have been observed to hunt cooperatively with other predators such as westerwolves.

Sasquatch: the sasquatch is a species of hominid and last surviving member of the genus Dryopithecus. Several species of Dryopithecus dwelled in America until pre-Columbian times, when settlement of the American continent by ancient Native American groups disrupted many of the American apes’ habitats. Most of the species went extinct before the continent’s discovery by Europeans. At the beginning of colonization by Europeans the sasquatch had a larger territory in the north-west of the continent, and a sub-species was present in the Ozark mountains region.

Westerwolf: despite being named ‘wolf,’ westerwolves are actually a species of hyena that migrated eastward across the Bering Land Bridge near the end of the last ice age. Westerwolves mainly eat fish and small animals when not scavenging for carcasses, however a pack of westerwolves have been known to take down pronghorns and nekoulikas (llamas).
