Tinto Maps #27 - 22nd of November 2024 - Oceania

Hello, and welcome to another Friday devoted to map worship! You may remember me, Pavía, from previous Tinto Maps, as @Roger Corominas has been dutifully taking care of the last 6 dev diaries. Now he’s focusing on some other tasks, and I’ll be in charge of the last 4, as it’s planned that the war Tinto Maps will be over by Christmas. This doesn’t mean that we will be done with the maps of Project Caesar, though - we will continue posting Tinto Maps Feedback posts in the next few months. And the next one will be a very much anticipated one - the Balkans, next week! But let’s focus now on today’s region: Oceania!

Countries
Countries.jpg

A bit different map today, as there are no regular countries in the entire region… All of them are Societies of Pops! Also, down to the right, that is not ‘Linear Atlantis’, but our ‘3D Material Testing Island’, where our (great) 3D artists test how the different combinations of terrains look in-game.

It may be relevant to repeat our guidelines for how to categorize countries and societies, by the way:
  • Settled Countries (State Societies)
    • Organized through States, which implies a public power holding:
      • Monopoly of violence
      • Tax collection
      • Public works
      • Writing/record-keeping systems
  • Societies of Pops (Stateless Societies)
    • Societies lacking a State properly, but that have some complex organizational features, such as (not necessarily all, but some):
      • Chiefdomly authority
      • Permanent settlements
      • Agricultural development
      • Some kind of taxation
  • Non-Tag Cultures (Bands/Kin Groups)
    • Simple societies, usually hunter-gatherers or shifting agriculturalists, don't organize around power structures, but through horizontal ones
    • Their pops won't be part of any type of tag, akin to EU4 natives

There are a few Societies of Pops in Oceania, in three main hubs: Hawaii, Fiji-Samoa-Tonga, and New Zealand. We’d be interested in listening to your feedback on this matter, nonetheless.

Plenty of different maps today, to be able to show as many different regions as possible. This is very highly WIP, and some of the islands may end up dying because of their size and being unimportant. By the way, you may notice that some of the islands are weirdly rounded up - that’s because they have a different type of terrain, ‘Atoll’, which is the last one that we were able to add to the game in due time during the development process.

Not a very developed region in 1337…

There are some very good natural harbors in the region, including a very infamous one in O’ahu…

Papua is not the most homogeneous place in the world, language-related…

Religions

As mentioned last week, we’ve split Animism into several ‘cultural confessions’, which we want now to recombine into broader families; so, again, any suggestions are welcome!

Raw Materials

Resources are, in general terms, quite basic, food-oriented ones; although Australia is more varied, obviously, and there are some areas very rich in Pearls.

Markets
Markets.jpg

Ternate is the main market of the western part of the region, although you may notice that there’s very little access in most of the locations.

Population
There are some issues with the Population distribution map of the region this week, but I’m letting you know that the total population is 1.885M.

And that is all for today! If you want a more detailed map of a given area, just let me know, as I’m aware that the scale of the region shown doesn’t fit well with the usual format of Tinto Maps.

Next week we will take a look at the last continent remaining, starting with the region of North America. See you!

It would be great to include the Moriori people of New Zealand (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moriori) who in this time period would have been found on Chatham Island and Stewart Island. In the context of New Zealand history, these are among the earliest documented people to settle the land.

as the link you’ve provided shows, the moriori are believed to have split from mainland maori around 1500AD, which is more than 150 years after the game’s start

Agree with most of the below. I would just add that given the South Island was relatively sparsely populated before European settlement and remains much lower in population to this day when compared to the north, there should be a lot more location density in the North Island than there currently is.

I also think having Taupo and the central plateau impassable makes no sense given the strong Maori history of that era.

Agree on Te Whanganui a Tara needing to be split. And the Wairarapa should start at the Remutaka range - the boundary between the two seems a bit too far east at the moment.

My NZ/Aotearoa suggestions————-

All laid out on the map below but I’ll explin here ifthe way I’ve laid it out looks a bit confusing


Whangārei is a pretty important city, should be included

The area labelled ‘Manukau’ in the map has nothing to do with the actual Manukau in Auckland/Tamaki Makaurau; I suggest the side of the province north of the Bombay hills be split off and renamed to Pukekohe and the lower part renamed Waikato or Kirikiriroa

I’m also not sure the Manukau harbour should be a natural harbour, as it is very shallow and had a very bad shipwreck in 1863 for this reason—there’s a reason way the port on the waitematā is Auckland’s favoured port.

The border between the Waikato and Moehau/Coromandel should probably divide at waihou river, I.e so it only includes the mountain range called moehau.

I’ve never heard the name Ahurei before, and as far as I’ve been able to check, neither has a Māori map. Ahurei is word meaning something like prominence or distinguished; therefore I’d consider another name for the location, perhaps Waitomo

Tauwhare is a small town in the Waikato and has nothing to do with Tauranga; this location should should be renamed Tauranga Moana

The location Uruwera is nowhere near where the actual Uruwera is; it should probably be renamed to Taupō, considering the Uruwera is pretty much impassable and today only very sparsely populated.

The name tūranga is a shortening of the Māori name, Tūranga-nui-a-Kiwa. either this name or tairāwhiti suits the gisborne area, though given the history of the name Tūranga-nui-a-Kiwa, this is probably a better choice.

I don’t know what the Makeakea refers to, but the Māori name for that area (Hawke’s Bay) is Te Matau-a-Māui) (the fishhook of Maui)

It’s a little weird to extend Wellington/Te Whanganui-a-Tara up so far, I’d rather split it in two, and have the upper one be Palmerston North/Te Papaioea. Wellington should also be given a natural harbour, as its protective cove is commercially important.

Not quite sure why the Wairarapa is so tiny, it’s a reasonably big area and shouldn’t be related to such a tiny size.

Sad that we lack a Ōtautahi/Christchurch location given it is a very important city historically, and deserves a strong natural harbour on account of the port of Littleton.

Timaru is an anglicisation of the name Te Tihi-o-Maru

The location called Ōtepoti is nowhere near the real location of ōtepoti/Dunedin, circled to where it should be; also port charmers in Dunedin should be a natural harbour; it’s a very important location historically

Hokitika is a better name than Taramakau; as Taramakau is just a river

Not sure wait that tiny province on the west coast says, but if ‘Maitahi’ is its name; ‘Ōkahu’ proabbaly suits it better as this was the name of a Māori pā in the area, and the town Haast (which I assume Maitane refers to) was only settled by pākehā/Europeans in the 1860s.

Disappointed to see that there’s no action around the Queenstown/Arrowtown/Central Otago area as this area was historically important, especially during the gold rush. I hope that the Otago/west coast gold rush is implemented in some form as this attracted a huge number of pākehā/European and Chinese settlers to the country. As the area is largely pretty hard to get to even today without flying, given the mountain passes, the location could even be an ‘oasis’, unconnected location like in the Sahara or something, even if this is uninhabited until Europeans arrive.

Trading resources seem fine, although greenstone/Pounamu was historically (and still is) a very important luxury resource for māori, I’m can’t remember r off the top of my head how greenstone/jade is down in China and east Asia, though this could be represented by gems, (as distinct from the gold resource that the gold rushes may add). I hope legumes are supposed to represent kūmara/sweet potato, since I’m not sure what else that could be


I’d argue that Māori/Tongan/Samoan/Hawaiian/cook islands Māori religion should be the same as these cultures have very similar mythologies with only slight variation, an example of this is Māui, the legendary Polynesian demigod who is involved in all kinds of myths, but fished out of the ocean the islands of New Zealand.

The provinces are mostly fine, I’d recommend looking at New Zealand regions/district councils, and remember that you can’t just add random places to the Waikato, it’s name comes from the river that it follows into lake Taupō. I.e add Taranaki to the Whanganui province instead of the Waikato, and add the location that contains the mouth of the Waikato back into the province.

I hope there will be events about the moriori culture splitting off and moving the chathams, their pacifist nature is very interesting


All in all this New Zealand/Aotearoa is worlds better than the one in eu4, even if Māori Iwi won’t be playable from day one; apart from that pretty good job Paradox.

It's been a while. This time, my suggestions for South Australia.

Unlike modern times, the inland trade routes in SA centred around Lake Eyre and the eastern side of Lake Torrens, with groups like the Arabana (from the north and west) and Kuyani and Adnyamathanha (toward Adelaide and into the Murray-Darling) having an important role in this trade. There were also important routes across the Nullabor and through Maralinga.

I didn't add any locations in the Simpson desert. The Wangkangurru there traded native tobacco for water access, and in the 20th Century left their country during a particularly severe drought. Very much not a place that can support a permanent population.

And here's Northern Territory, again with too many locations. :D

The most interesting location is probably Dagoman, which is where many of the didgeridoos in Australia were made.

The Moluccans had been trading in the Northern Territory for centuries before white settlement. Most of the pearls they were after came from Western Australia and were traded overland before eventually reaching the Yolngu and other people.

Figuring out where the various groups in the north were before colonisation was difficult to say the least. I think this is roughly accurate (with some fudging for size and to try and follow montain ridges or rivers, and some groups omitted for geographic size).

And finally, Western Australia.

Like the Northern Territory, figuring out where groups were before colonisation wasn't the easiest, but I think I've got them roughly in the correct place.

'Bardi' might be the most important pre-colonisation location, since that is where many of the pearls the Moluccan traders wanted came from though it wasn't the only place pearls were sourced and these pearls were traded overland as the Moluccans never travelled that far down the coast.

Looking at the game's climate map, it feels wrong. For instance, the game considers this arid
1752633778233.png

which I find absurd. I recommend using the Australian Bureau of Meteorology's Modified Köppen Classification system instead. The only problem I can see is that it uses the 1961–1990 Köppen data, not the 1901–1930 Köppen. The paper provides the process that they use to generate the climate groups, which I’m sure could be used to create a 1901–1930 version. But it just looks like gibberish to me. I’ve attached the original PDF because I’m sure someone like @Sulphurologist could decipher it.

The combining of the Köppen arid and semi-arid types into one arid type in EU5 causes all kinds of issues although some of this variation is encompassed by vegetation type. Having Madrid (~400 mm of rain a year) and the Atacama Desert (~15 mm) share the same climate is madness.

semi arid and arid are already in the same climate group. they are separated between cold and hot arid not by arid or semi arid

The paper provides the process that they use to generate the climate groups, which I’m sure could be used to create a 1901–1930 version. But it just looks like gibberish to me. I’ve attached the original PDF because I’m sure someone like @Sulphurologist could decipher it.

I understand your frustration, but this is an 'issue' that pops up everywhere, not only Australia; but important parts of India, Southern Africa, Mexico, Spain,...
The thing is Köppen classifies most of the desert as "Hot Semi-Arid" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-arid_climate. Which, Tinto bins together with Arid.
Same is true for Cold Semi-Arid (E.g. Catalonia,...) which is added to Cold Arid.

The problem primarily with the 'arid' and 'cold arid' designation are the attached modifiers: no migration, harsh penalties for food and dev growth,... etc.
In some of the previous diaries, it was suggested by forumites including myself that instead vegetation should be the limiting factor for those harsh penalties.
E.g Arid+grasslands = hot semi-arid steppe --> viable for living.
Arid + deserts/sparse = hot desert --> a lot less viable for living.

We have had no update on the system since, but they were interested in that and were investigating if they could switch around some stuff on that account.

So no need for regional climate classifications all over the globe for granularity: just some creative bookkeeping with the existing climate+vegetation modifiers should be more than sufficient in terms of in-game effects imo :)

Does anybody want to help with creating a Polynesian god list?
 
I've decided I wanted to look at resources as a whole for Australia, starting with gold. This is because I was wondering if my resource suggestions were reasonable in the whole and this is the only reasonable way to figure it out. I've only looked at deposits that were known/exploited up to the first World War. This is beyond the time period of the game, but exploitation of minerals only started after the game period and I think not including mineral wealth in Australia for this reason would be ridiculous. So WW1 seems like a good cut off point :D

Australia had its gold rushes and still is a major exporter of gold. The gold rushes saw Australia's population triple from 1851-1861, adding over 700k people in that period, with people coming from the UK, continental Europe, North America, and China.

Despite this, there'd been efforts by both the colonial governments and the squattocrats to suppress news of gold finds during the earlier colonial era. So despite there being so much gold out there, the gold rushes only started in the 1850s.

Here's the map. I can't say it's complete, but this is all I could find:

Australia - Gold.png




South Australia

Despite being the state that had the least gold production during the gold rushes by far, as far as I can tell the Australian gold rushes all started with the opening of the Castambul mine near Adelaide in 1846. This mine was ultimately a bust, and the South Australian government followed soon by Victoria declared a £1000 reward for payable gold deposits.

In 1850 payable gold was found in Victoria and the gold rush started. Men left their wives and children at home in South Australia to try their luck to strike rich. This caused both a severe labour shortage and currency shortage in the colony. South Australia did a few things to try and fix things: keep prospecting for gold, pay more for the gold mined than Victoria and New South Wales did so people would come to Adelaide to cash in, and let Chinese miners avoid Victoria's poll tax at its ports by letting them disembark at Robe and walk to Victoria (17000 Chinese did this).

There were several gold finds though.
- The Adelaide hills had a few gold nodes, and notable mines were opened throughout the hills. People still fossick for gold here, and last year (2024) the owner of the Woodside mine sued the state government to reopen it. This is prime wine country though and there wasn't so much gold as to define the region's character, so I wouldn't add a gold resource to any location near here.
- Gold was found at Moonta and Wallaroo on the Yorke Peninsula. However these were principally copper mines that just so happened to have gold.
- The most significant gold rush in the state was at Teetulpa in 1886. This only peaked at 5000 miners (far less than the tens of thousands at interstate gold fields) and I think gold mining lasted long enough to justify a gold location here.
- The Tarcoola mine is also old and ongoing, and still producing a lot of gold so I think it's worth adding a gold location for it too.

Once the gold rushes started to die down, copper mining and iron mining took hold and helped the state recover. Cornish miners especially came to South Australia to work the copper mines in the 1870s.



Victoria

There are so many gold rush locations and gold mines (1 -> 24) in the appropriately named Goldfields region of the state. This all started with the Clunes gold rush in 1850 and lots of locations here to add gold to. I've found reference to several of the gold rush towns reaching populations of 20-50k miners. Several of the mines opened here at the time are still working today.

There were a couple of deposits close of Melbourne which whilst worked for a while were largely ignored until after the gold rushes in the Goldfields were over. So I wouldn't add a gold location immediately near Melbourne.

There's also gold in northeastern Victoria so a few gold locations should be here too. There was only one gold location in the entire state as suggested in the raw materials map above. Either gold is super-overpowered or Paradox vastly underestimates just how much gold was mined here.



Tasmania
Like South Australia, Tasmania was also hit hard by a labour shortage when every man and his dog went to try their luck on the gold fields. Like South Australia, the government started looking for gold deposits to compete, and unlike South Australia actually found enough to be able to.

Gold was first found around Mangana (lots of debate over where Mangana was defined) with a whole lot more found in the northeast in the coming years.

Gold was also found on the Pieman River, though it was so inaccessible there's no point adding it. There's also more gold at Queenstown and Rosebery but this is Australia's premier tin country so I wouldn't add a gold location.



New South Wales

Gold was found in New South Wales in the 1850s as well, and also had significant gold rushes. Unlike Victoria, the gold fields were far more dispersed and not as rich.

There was sustained gold mining south of Canberra and on the South Coast.

The other major gold fields were around Orange and Bathurst. The most important and enduring of these mines were at Sofala and Wattle Flat.

There was some enduring gold mining around Armidale.

In the middle of the copper mining district around Cobar, there were also some major mines. But as it it's copper country I wouldn't add gold here.

Lastly, there were a few gold rush locations for masochists around Milparinka, far north of Broken Hill.

Paradox only included gold at Parkes, which while had almost a century of gold mining wasn't the most important in the state and was far from the action of where the gold activity was.



Queensland
Gold was seen as the panacea to the economic malaise that hit the colony after it was separated from New South Wales in 1859. An early gold rush at Canoona in 1858 was a disaster that saw few miners come to the colony when gold discoveries were made in the years after.

Rockhampton was surrounded by several gold rish locations. The most important of these were at Mt Morgan, where gold mining continued until 1981.

Queensland's most important gold find was at Gympie in 1867. It is credited as the gold find that saved the state from financial ruin when it was found.

Once the credibility of Queensland's gold was established, the later gold rushes in the north of Queensland were absolutely wild. Charters Towers had its own stock exchange; it had deposits far richer than anything in Victoria or Western Australia. The Palmer River gold rushes saw outright warfare between local Aboriginal people, White miners, and the Chinese miners; and then also between Cantonese, Macanese and Pekinese miners.



Northern Territory

Colonial settlement of the Northern Territory took four attempts. The gold found at Pine Creek in 1871, though starting the gold mining was long and difficult.

Further inland. gold was found at Arltunga in 1877. A major and accessible gold deposit was found at the Granites (at Tanami) in 1898 and if the location is added should be a gold location. Gold was also found at Tennant Creek, and it was until being largely shut down in 1942 the third largest producer of gold in the country.



Western Australia

Gold was found at Nullagine in 1886, and is still mined there today (Paradox added the gold in this region too far west).

Most of the gold found in Western Australia was in the south, in the appropriately named Goldfields region, at Southern Cross in 1887. This was followed by numerous other places (too many to bother listing) across the plains and deserts in the state over the following years. There's so much gold here that its estimated to contain 4% of the world's recoverable total.

Paradox also added a gold location to the south of Perth. Whilst there is gold in this region, I believe it is much newer and further north so i wouldn't add one here. Would be happy to be wrong on this though.

Another resource map, this time for alum. Australia was colonised in the 19th Century after alum was already being replaced by synthetics. Australia's geology also makes it unusually scarce in alum deposits. Historically alum was imported when needed, but that doesn't mean there aren't any alum deposits nor that alum wasn't mined.

The map:

Australia - Alum.png


The most significant deposit is the Bulahdelah deposit just north of Newcastle. It would be worth making Newcastle an alum producer, or splitting Bulahdelah off from Newcastle as from what I can tell this was the most important source. Production here only stopped because it wasn't profitable enough to keep mining.

The other three locations I can find that quarried alum were around Adelaide: at Koonunga in the Barossa Valley, and at Carrickalinga and Rapid Bay on the Fleurieu Peninsula. It may be worth adding one somewhere around here though this is wine country.

There are also a few deposits around the place which I don't believe have ever been exploited. But alum is just not common in Australia, and it was colonised too late to have an industry developed for it. Paradox may have had the right idea by not adding alum locations.
