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

[Pavía]

Will there be additional threads regarding Low Lands - France - Iberia etc? Not only for the many charges proposed after the first review, but also for the features Johan introduced after the map was reviewed?

No, but we check the existing ones from time to time regarding new feedback.

i think there should be less wasteland in Australia

here is the population density of Australia

Spoiler: Population density

and here is a map of aboriginal trade routes (red is major)

Spoiler: trade routes

 

[FleetingRain]

It is the size of Europe. And they didn't even include much of the interior either (not that it would make much gameplay difference to do so).

Yeah, but it's sparsely populated with no tags whatsoever, so I was expecting fewer locations. I *absolutely* was expecting lower density for colonial regions, specially as I've made a map for Brazil with this in mind.

 

[Pavía]

Could we get close-ups of the religion map?

Not very worth right now, to be honest, as most of the religions are the same of cultures.

 

[bokorthedust]

Livestock in australia represents which animals? I thought they did not have any and sheep, cattle etc are non-native.

Emus and kangaroos.

 

[Pavía]

World conquest as 3D Material Testing Island will be fun

Very polygonal!

 

[ZarkinDrife]

1. Could potentially be, depending on feedback, but right now there aren't.
2. They're mostly done, but we will be open to review, as usual.

Ah, I didn't notice that it was using the language family of Pama-Nyugan to represent all of the Aboriginal languages.

Cool but how do we even know this?

 

[Impostor]

Emus and kangaroos.

Those were hunted, not raised

 

[Spiritoftwinings]

Very likely, yes. Atlantis Chagos deserves its own DD!

I'll be very disappointed if Diego Garcia, Amsterdam and Kerguelen are not playable locations

 

[Temudhun Khan]

I noticed Hawai'i was missing from a few maps, especially the culture, religion and language ones. Is it not done yet?

 

[Pavía]

Now that all the constituent maps have been released, could you post a full zoomed out political map of Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania?

I think that the Reddit map-makers will be pleased, yes. And there's even a new continent appearing there!:

 

[Pavía]

hi @Pavía! Should Easter Island not have been covered here? or will it be shown on the south American tinto map?

Either South America or a Full-Pacific Tinto Maps Extra.

Bummer for so few SOPs.
I hope your criteria will be broadened and some large already existing SOPs further divided later in development...
It makes me sad not to be able to play a battle royal in Papua with my tiny tribe against hundreds of other tiny tribes.

 

[matfer13]

Crazy to think that some of these islands were settled less than 100 years before the game start...

Are the Svalbard Islands above Iceland?

 

[Friedman69]

Bit disappointed about lack of population. I've been doing some research and been in contact with some academics in the field of the Maori settlement of New Zealand, what the population numbers might be like across different areas and was looking forward to see if your maps needed critiquing.

 

[IMJUSTBAD]

It would be cool to put arboriginal societies of pops in Australia since they existed IRL and were « pretty advanced » if we compare them with societies of pops in Africa.

 

[Wildrake]

I think some corridors and maybe a few locations across the desert would be good, this region was involved in aboriginal trade and some tribes lived there

 

[Pavía]

any progress/change with playabiility for Societies of Pops? meaning did you have ideas how to make it fun or does the cutting floor still loom over it?

We have plenty of ideas, but the feasibility of them is very low at this stage, to be brutally honest. We'll confirm it in due time, but we prefer to be honest with the community, and not create non-realistic expectations.
