Tinto Maps Special Edition - 6th of January 2025 - The World

Hello, and welcome to a Special Edition of our Tinto Maps series! Today, as a Three Wise Men present (a quite important tradition here in Spain), we'll be taking a look at how the different map modes look like throughout the entire world. Without further ado, maps!

Johan will talk this Wednesday about the effects of each terrain type.

We're also showing the map of European harbors, as that was not shown previously. Feel free to give your feedback!

The Animism split was completed, and the grouping into bigger families is almost finished (there's some pending work on Western and Eastern Africa, but that's it).

Population:
There is a total of 421M pops worldwide, distributed this way (and pending review, as we have identified some duplicates and errors that we have yet to fix, as in Germany, plus some additions in other places, as discussed in the different Tinto Maps threads):
  • 99.203M in Europe
  • 262.270M in Asia
  • 37.204M in Africa
  • 20.499M in America
  • 1.885M in Oceania
And that's it for today! Although there's pending work yet to be done in the new year, we think that the progress since we started the Tinto Maps series last spring is noticeable, something that we wouldn't have achieved without your feedback. We will keep gathering, processing, and implementing it in the Tinto Maps Feedback posts, continuing with the Maghreb review, which will be shown tomorrow.

And this Friday 10th we will start a new series, Tinto Flavour, in which I will show and talk about the content that we have been creating for Project Caesar. We hope that you will enjoy this new series and that you can keep helping us make this a fun and engaging game. Cheers!

PS: Today is a bank holiday in Spain, so I will reply to the comments tomorrow.

1. Any chance we could get a non-compressed view on the .png of the locations map?
(You know, the colorvomit one like the provinces.bmp in EU4).

2. Any chance you can share the absolute and accurate northern and southern latitude extent of the map? (the 'bounding box')
My current guesstimations are:
  • 75.0 North
  • 56.5 South

I Would love to have a way to do some GIS analysis on the locations (like area size, modern pop distribution, most probable topography within a location,...), without having to trace all those bazillion locations by hand ^^ - I fully understand if this is a step too far though.
The latitudes would be great to create matching pixel-perfect exports :)

In any case, supercongrats to everyone for such a humongous amount of diligent work you've done so far!

RIP Eastern Wales, SaintDaveUK couldn't save you...
Still undecided on what to do with Wales so not necessarily definitive. Trying a few things here and there to see what works in practice. Currently marcher lords represented as Nobility Estate in England but honestly I preferred it when they were in Wales' sphere. Expecting the discussion to pick up again when we do the feedback post.

1: Why is the London Market coloured Orange?
Currently the algorithm shades markets in a country capital as the country color, and non-capital as a random similar colour. Since Westminster is the capital, the London market takes a random similar color. Not really WAD, I'll look into making it different so the market the capital belongs to is coloured in country colour, which I think makes more sense in this case.

What if market color was determined by the country with highest trade power?

It also appears to me that Polynesians are also still split into many religions and Languages, even though it would absolutely make sense as one language (with dialects) and one broad religion

Could we have a raw count of the number of provinces and areas? I recognise this will likely change multiple times before the game releases, but a count at least now would be nice
