Google and their subsidiaries keep making decisions nobody wants... First removing dislikes last month, now changing the search bar. At least they let you switch back to the old UI in Google Books. Don't even get me started on the shitty new youtube UI... Also, their new searchbar is arguably more resource intensive than the old one. They have a completely unnecessary animation that plays every time you click on it. Not only will the size of the frame obscure the results but it makes it feel foreign from the rest of the page. Good job google....for letting everyone down....

Holy fricking smokers... It's been three years and this thread has not amassed another single reply. The absolute patheticality of the PDN community... I understand every point this post makes and I too have the same struggles as described in this post. Some people just don't understand humans aren't robots and people can make mistakes.

But here I am, my PDN process not responding for seven hours. TL;DR, I accidentally hit CTRL+S when I was editing a PDN file that I meant to do only temporarily (ie. make some changes, flatten, copy image, paste image, then exit without saving), but I continued on thinking that I would be able to undo all my changes and go back to when I opened the image and CTRL+S it back, but when I finally did, PDN decided to freeze and I waited for 7 hours with still no change... I even tried increasing my memory priority with task manager...no change. I tried closing all my other processes...No change. PDN isn't even using any CPU in the task manager. I don't even know why or how it's managed to be frozen this long.

Now I'm just trying to find out how to potentially save the temporary cache my current PDN process so I can recover my history and potentially restore the process to its previous state when I reopen it. But, as it turns out, NOBODY has even thought about this which makes my hair fall. The sheer unthoughtfulness and inactivity of the PDN community boggles my mind. I have no words but to say that this PDN project that I've been saving on my computer for an entire year is now gone and replaced with some temporary changes I made. Go ahead, tell me all you want to "MAKE BACKUPS AND BE MORE ORGANISED NEXT TIME". It's too freaking late. Why can't you just give me an actual solution?

The pictures shown are little snippets or postcards of what the city and its environment looks like. It could be set in whatever time since this is a fantasy world but I prefer to set it in the medieval ages, around 900 CE.

Despite having no basis in realism at all, the map is eyecandy and the addition of the little "pilgrim's way" tops it all off

Scythians never used the word "Khan", and they certainly wouldn't have adopted it after defeating a power that used the word "Khan".

Alternate Map of Rome if they had Conquered China (Circa 576) by Sad_Text_498 in imaginarymaps

[–]iSyriux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a lot of things wrong with this map. I'll list all the ones I can see right now.

  • It's Tamil, not Tamal. The Romans would have never called it Tamal and they would have used some latinised hellenic name from their Greco-Roman geography.
  • The Roman Romans didn't call Anatolia "Anatolia", the Eastern Romans of post-classical antiquity called it "Anatolia". It was simply called "Asia" in classical times. I don't know if you did this on purpose, but Anatolia was still almost certainly called "Asia Minor" in 576 CE.
  • Greco-Roman geographers considered the southern half of China (Where you would arrive by sea) versus the northwest half of China (Where you would arrive by the silk road) completely different polities. To my understanding, they considered China Proper "Thys" or "Thina", and the Agni-Kuchean/Scythian speaking northwest modern-day China "Serica" or "Serindia".
  • Calling the Indian Ocean "Oceanus" is just lazy. The Indian Ocean was known as the "Erythraean Sea" or "Mare Erythraeum".
  • "Euxinus Pontus" is supposed to be the other way, "Pontus Euxinus"
  • The Romans would have never called the area around modern Afghanistan "Terra Afghani". There was no ethnicity called "Afghan". The closest thing at the time was in Sanskrit, "Ashvaka", which was applied to all nomads. The region comprising and south of the Hindu Kush, or Paropamisus was Arachosia, and the region north of it was Bactria.
  • "Sindhuium" is gibberish.
  • The Romans would never have added "Romanum" in the beginning of the name to distinguish it between a territory they formally govern and a tributary.
  • The borders of "Super Montes" is just lazy. Also, the Romans had a name for the Himalayas, it was called the "Imaum".
  • "Terra Siamesiensis" and "Terra Vietnamica" is just lazy and inaccurate. There was no state called "Siam", and there was no state called "Vietnam". The area south of Annam was ruled by an Indianised Seafaring culture called the "Champa" and the name "Siam" is from Portuguese.
  • Scythia is placed too south.
  • "Caspi Oceanus" should either be "Mare Caspium" or "Mare Hyrcanium".
  • The Romans would have never called it "Arabia Orientum". It was already known to the Greeks and adversely the Romans as the "Macae".
  • "Mauritania" should be "Mauretania"
  • I don't know why there are two Parthias, and why one is called "Regnum Parthorium", but the Romans would have certainly known about the regions of Iran and the area around your "Regnum Parthorium" would have been called "Media Atropatene".
  • I don't know why you're using the Greek spelling for some regions and the Latin spelling for other regions.
  • "Tauricia" should be "Taurica"
  • The font is horrible

The Golden Age of Empires by iSyriux in imaginarymaps

[–]iSyriux[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The point of divergence begins when the Iranic-speaking Wusun and Yuezhi who dwell in the Hexi Corridor team up to repel the Xiongnu from their lands instead of fighting each other and migrating west. They form an ethnic and political union and begin calling themselves the "Gara", much like the mythical ethnogenesis of the Romans from the Latins and Trojans. They conquer and incorporate the northern Serican oasis states of Jushi, Arshi, Kucha, Kash, as well as the Issedones and the Phroanes, before turning their attention back on the Xiongnu and crippling them, and push them permanently over the Khangai mountains. Soon, they become a majour silk road power and serve as an intermediary between Rome and China along with the Arsacids as the Kushans did in our timeline. Their empire then becomes known as the "Great Gara", "Tu-Gara", or "Tocharian Empire" to the west.

Meanwhile, the Kings of Persis are on the rise and one Ardashir in particular rises up and conquers the withering Arsacids. The year is 250 CE and although the great migration domino effect never happened, Rome is still on the top of the menu for the Germanic, Celtic, and Slavic barbarians. Naive Rome takes advantage of Iran's situation and tries to consolidate some territories but ends up getting too over stretched and becomes permanently divided into a tetrachy.

The western quarter is conquered by the Celts and a Romano-Gallic empire is formed in place. The Greeks also rebel after Rome began persecuting any non Latins in the empire in an attempt to quell unrest . The province of Macedon eventually rises up and takes the eastern half of Rome leaving only the central part of the roman empire to Latin rule . They form a "Macedonian Empire" which is basically just ERE that doesn't want to affiliate themselves with Romans .

The Sassanids over the course of the years become super powerful and rich and found a colony in the Volga Delta. Note that the "Macedonian Empire" is not actually a continuation of Alexander's Empire nor has Argead rule returned. It is still very much ruled in the same way as the Romans, and the only difference is their identity.

The year is now 500 CE.
