Simple strategical map for planning (work still in progress)

[Nikel]

Thanks to PhilThib that game me access to the base map of RoP


Using this map I am trying to create a simple strategical map for planning your campaigns At least for those not very familiar with centroeuropean geography



Finished

[dooya]

It is not Mecklemburg, but Mecklenburg.

Nice map.

[Nikel]

Ooops sorry, spanish orthography


Corrected

[Nikel]

Little update, southern part of the map

[Nikel]

Just printed what has been done so far in a single sheet of paper A4 and though small is perfectly readable

[PANGI]

but have in mind, that the borders are not 100% historically correct...i've already recomended some changes to PhilTib ago...

[Nikel]

In that case there will be a second version of the strategical map, if I am able to add those changes


But they do not like to make changes to the maps, this happened with NCP, let's see

[Nikel]

The general look so far

Started to add some rivers name, but perhaps is not a good idea.

I do not want to add the roads, too many lines IMHO

So far all the towns are a circle, was thinking on representing the fortresses as hexagons


What do you think?

[squarian]

What do you think?

I think it's fine work, Nikel - and you are going to give the file to d/l when you're done, I hope!

[Nikel]

Yes of course, that is the point, in pdf format

[Nikel]

Gdansk, for example, produced assets are 4 3 3 0 but in the file CitiesCampaign.inc, appears this line

ChangeAssetsProd = 1|0|0|3|2|2



What does it mean?

[PhilThib]

The cities file.inc is correct...where did you get those other numbers?

[Nikel]

From the assets pie, supply filter in the map

Why are there 6 numbers in the .inc file?

Why are there 6 numbers in the .inc file?

VGN compatibility?

[Nikel]

Do you mean they represent the 6 assests displayed here?

I wanted to add the information to the map, by the city name, but do not know what to put, what is displayed in the map with the supply filter?

[Nikel]

Bump, anyone?

And after printing, it is not clear to distinguish hexagons of circles, I will try with squares to represent fortresses

[arsan]

Just guessing... Maybe the pie charts numbers already include the current NM production bonus??
Nice map Nikel! Are you going to add the regions outlines?? or woudl it be to much lines around?

[Nikel]

No idea arsan, in fact I do not know what you are meaning with current NM production bonus


The map is not mine, is the base map of RoP that PhilThib sent me. The map I got included all the boundaries and so it is not very useful, what I am doing is:


Delete all the boundaries except between major regions and those represented by rivers

Coloring the rivers

Adding ports symbol

Adding the major regions and cities names with size for the cities

Distinguish cities from fortresses, circle and square?

And also wanted to add those numbers in the pie.

Perhaps bridges symbol for major rivers


Roads is not a good idea


Look at the 2 first screenshots above and you will see the differences between the zones changed and not changed

[arsan]

No idea arsan, in fact I do not know what you are meaning with current NM production bonus

I mean National Morale can increase (high NM) or decrease (low NM) resources production by a certain % (it should appear on the NM tooltip).
So maybe the numbers you see on the pie charts is what you are currently getting (taking in account a production bonus because of NM) and the cities file numbers are the base "no bonus/malus" production numbers.
But i'm, just guessing so don't believe me too much
Cheers
