Greenland on these is always weird

What is "industry"? I would also think the US would have more agriculture
No.2016
>>2006Can only see a warped UK & Europe...
No.2023
>>2005You should never do that.
>>2008Farming is so mechanized that the labor force involved is tiny even when agricultural production is pretty high. Which also means most people are making money in other sectors.

>>2023good old Austrian Australia
No.2039
>>2006I'm curious as to whether it was painted digitally or traditionally. It kind of looks like gouache
No.2042
you know, it would be cool to have a small server where a group of friends can wander around a pokemon region like an MMO and occasionally meet up and have some battles/trade.

No.2051
>>2050i meant the originals much more than the remakes, but i do remember enjoying the remakes for the most part (aside from the obvious in the cut content). i havent played in game pokemon basically since then but i remember enjoying the pokenav compared to the games before.
No.2053
>>2052they removed HMs entirely in the new games
No.2065
>>2050I have only played the remake of Ruby and not the original. What's so bad about the remake?
No.2067
>>2065Aside from the multitude of poor decisions made and lack of new (and old) content, the changes that came with gen 6 are just not compatible with gen 3 design. XP All and free megas/legendaries halfway through the game completely breaks the mid- and late-game because they were designed around you being much weaker. The entire overworld was also designed for a 2D perspective and so moving it unchanged to 3D makes everything feel cramped and awkward.
Also, they took away May's cool bandana and skirt and turned Brendan's hair into a hat.
No.2071
>>2067Ahh, I still don't think it's bad.
I have mixed feelings on XP all, because a lot of what it does is remove finicky micro managing, so now you don't have to use items or change Pokemon halfway through a battle all the time.
I don't like the free Megas though. This is a problem that most modern Pokemon seem to have, they really should be something you work for. For that reason I don't actually use them, well for that reason and because I don't like the way many of them look.
No.2073
>>2072For context, there is no context its basically a world "randomly" generated by hand.
I'm going to maybe play it as a risk game but I'm not sure.
This was before I learned how to do multiple layers.

>>2072splitting up turkey into pieces doesn't make sense
No.2076
>>2072Wow Spain has the entireity of catalonia and some of morocco but no canary islands? Tenerife probably generates more money than either of those
No.2077
>>2074It kind of does, Turkiye has a number of different ethnic groups with their own identities like the Kurds, Greeks and depending on when the map is set Armenians.
No.2078
>>2076Those are the Iberian city-state collation.
I'll be honest I hate drawing the islands No.2080
>>2079It's a true spoiler though!
No.2088
>>2072How did Wallachia turn into Savoy?
How the fuck did Mesopotamian/Anatolians turn into Ireland?
Persian Greece in Anatolia?
Saxon Rhinelands in Cyprus?
How high were you when you made this?
No.2090
>>2088How? Easy, alien space bats created time vacuums/time portals and took the civilizations from their home dimension and they settled where they arrived at, keeping the names of their former cultures.
Or I just put them their because I liked the color from this fuck huge map color code key that I use because I don't want to roll 3d256 everytime I want to pick a random small province.
Oh and pretty goddamn high.
Apparently I cannot post the color scheme on kissu (shame)
So here's the full image for the color scheme that I crib from.

>>2097Hopefully next time when I'm making a randomized (okay you know what it isn't actually randomized it's more like I roll dice for it.) map of the world, I'll try to do more Celtic/Gallic tribes fucking around.
Maybe have it be like in the 200 BC era? Don't really know.
