I think a few more impassable wastelands should be added in the areas where no one lived even in the 19th century
View attachment 1229273

Maybe something like this? I do now think Luda and Nyonoksa should be removed back

View attachment 1229274

Map is here
Going off of wikipedia.
Shalakusha, 1631
Ileza, 17th century
Shenkursk or Shenga-Kurya, 1315
Nyonoksa, 1397
Luda, 14th century
Verkhnaya Zolotitsa is a bit dubious, Wikipedia says it's a Pomor village.

I showed your map in my post, Pavia replied they haven’t adjusted finno-ugric pops yet:
Thanks, I really want the Finnic cultures to be done justice for once, they never get represented in any PDX game (except Ck3). Though you did use the older version of my map, which is less accurate than the later one. Though both are wildly immaculate when it comes to the Bjarmians. Also, I didn't include the Merya in my map because I couldn't find concrete sources on whether they still existed in 1337. Most sources only mention the 13th and 15th centuries, while most that do mention the 14th centurycontradict eachother.

I do not see why a single village proves this big piece of land must be habitable. You can make everything habitable in that way. However, if You look at the map I have attached you can see that only a few villages can be found at the lands I circled. Maybe my borders are not highly correct as I have tried putting the map over the Tinto map. however, all the villages you mentioned are on the main rivers and not stranded in the nowhere. I have tried leaving the habitable rivers intact.

Perhaps the villages prove that it is possible to settle the territory. As with Hokkaido, where most of the land was uninhabited at the time of the game, everything became settled in the 19th century.

Why shouldn't locations such as Nyonoksa or Shenga-Kurya be in the game if they existed during or close to game start? And Onega peninsula is clearly settled on your map, and there are settlement in other areas you have circled as wastelands.

I think the key here is most of the land. The map I provided is the map of the 19th century and you can see how little even then was settled. Only coasts of sea, lakes and major rivers were settled. I think it is better if locations resemble that at least, and won't encompass all the lands

There were almost no settlements not on the river, for example between Onega and Northern Dvina(where Arkhangelsk is)

Wastelands don’t just represent land that is sparsely inhabited, it also represents land that is impassable to armies. Though knowing the terrain/climate, these lands are probably thick forests and swamps, so additional wastelands could make sense. However, I’m still not sure how granular and detailed they want wastelands to be, as they haven’t been entirely consistent.
 
Hello, and welcome to another Tinto Maps feedback review! This week, we will be taking a look at Russia, a very anticipated review (which Johan already advanced in some maps last week).

A note before we start on the area that we've covered in this update. We've focused it on the core Russian lands, plus the Kola Peninsula. This means we've not yet updated the lands of Vyatka and Perm, nor those ruled by the Golden Horde. These will be covered in the future Tinto Maps feedback post, probably the one for the Steppes and Western Siberia. With that said, let's take a look at the list of changes, and then start with maps!

In the first screenshot you can see the wider picture of the region, while in the second, we have the Russian Principalities more in detail. The main change here, besides the additions, is that most of them are now under the Tatar Yoke. Speaking of that, two more screenshots, the first with the IO itself, the second with the lands ruled by Ivan I 'Kalita', Prince of Muscovy:

View attachment 1228098
The second screenshot is taken playing as Novgorod, which has an elective system to pick its ruler, the current one being Ivan I 'Kalita'; you may see that Pskov and Orshek are subjects of Novgorod, while the other Principalities share with Novgorod a Personal Union under the aforementioned Prince of Muscovy.

Russia is in general terms a cold, flat, and forested region. The climate has already been changed to the new standard (1901 distribution). Please let us know any further terrain suggestions for us!

Development

Another new map, the development one. There's a big difference between the core lands, and the outer ones.

Harbors
View attachment 1228114
A few interesting harbors here.

Cultures
View attachment 1228115
Some tweaks here, as we now have Bjarmian, Polatskian, and Smolenskian spreading over the Russian map. It's WIP, so suggestions are welcome.

Languages
View attachment 1228116
View attachment 1228117
View attachment 1228118
This is our current proposal for Russia, following the feedback received, although take it as non-final. First, there are two Languages, Russian and Ruthenian, both belonging to the Slavic language family. Each of them is divided into two different 'Dialects' (remember, this is a gameplay term, as they're closer to real-life languages), Novgorodian and Russian for Russian, and Belarusian and Ukrainian for Ruthenian. The later terms are a bit modern for 1337, but we wanted to show here clearly what linguistical spheres we wanted to portray; we will gladly receive suggestions to potentially change these names for more flavorish ones if you think so. Finally, the third map is the Court Language, as you may notice because of having Latin over the Livonian and Prussian lands.

Religions
View attachment 1228124
Not many changes in the religious map mode. The main one is the portrayal of 'Finnish ancient religion' ('Suomalainen muinaisusko'), which we've called in-game 'Muinaisusko'; please let us know if you like this name, as well.

Raw Materials

I suggest you to make an exercise, and find the differences with the original Tinto Maps...

Markets
View attachment 1228130
Not many differences, but I thought that a bigger picture wouldn't hurt, as taking a look at another endonym possible with our new flavor system, 'Moskva'.

And that's all for today! We'll be reading your feedback to our feedback review (feedback loop!), and replying to your questions, as usual. The next Tinto Maps will be this Friday, the 13th, about Central America. Aaand, we will be able to have one more Tinto Maps Feedback post before the Christmas break, the one devoted to Levant and Egypt, next Monday, the 16th! Cheers!
My proposal for Veps

Lands around Olonets were Karelian even in the 19th century (veps not depicted on that map)
1733927711657.png


For the Veps people, here is the current distribution of them
1733928399290.png

I have extended this zone with locations like Pashozero

Here is a small article about Novgorod's colonisation around Lake Onega. It states that the major colonisation of Onega began in the XII-XIV century.
Here is an article about veps culture. It mentions for example the village of Pashozero being one of the previously veps populated villages

I couldn't find what veps majority place was Tinto thinking about in Beloozero

In the first screenshot you can see the wider picture of the region, while in the second, we have the Russian Principalities more in detail. The main change here, besides the additions, is that most of them are now under the Tatar Yoke. Speaking of that, two more screenshots, the first with the IO itself, the second with the lands ruled by Ivan I 'Kalita', Prince of Muscovy:

The second screenshot is taken playing as Novgorod, which has an elective system to pick its ruler, the current one being Ivan I 'Kalita'; you may see that Pskov and Orshek are subjects of Novgorod, while the other Principalities share with Novgorod a Personal Union under the aforementioned Prince of Muscovy.

Dynasties

The map of Russia is much clear when you just take into account the ruling dynasties... :p

Russia is in general terms a cold, flat, and forested region. The climate has already been changed to the new standard (1901 distribution). Please let us know any further terrain suggestions for us!

Development

View attachment 1228113
Another new map, the development one. There's a big difference between the core lands, and the outer ones.

Harbors
View attachment 1228114
A few interesting harbors here.

Cultures
View attachment 1228115
Some tweaks here, as we now have Bjarmian, Polatskian, and Smolenskian spreading over the Russian map. It's WIP, so suggestions are welcome.

Languages

This is our current proposal for Russia, following the feedback received, although take it as non-final. First, there are two Languages, Russian and Ruthenian, both belonging to the Slavic language family. Each of them is divided into two different 'Dialects' (remember, this is a gameplay term, as they're closer to real-life languages), Novgorodian and Russian for Russian, and Belarusian and Ukrainian for Ruthenian. The later terms are a bit modern for 1337, but we wanted to show here clearly what linguistical spheres we wanted to portray; we will gladly receive suggestions to potentially change these names for more flavorish ones if you think so. Finally, the third map is the Court Language, as you may notice because of having Latin over the Livonian and Prussian lands.

Religions
View attachment 1228124
Not many changes in the religious map mode. The main one is the portrayal of 'Finnish ancient religion' ('Suomalainen muinaisusko'), which we've called in-game 'Muinaisusko'; please let us know if you like this name, as well.

Raw Materials

I suggest you to make an exercise, and find the differences with the original Tinto Maps...

Markets
View attachment 1228130
Not many differences, but I thought that a bigger picture wouldn't hurt, as taking a look at another endonym possible with our new flavor system, 'Moskva'.

And that's all for today! We'll be reading your feedback to our feedback review (feedback loop!), and replying to your questions, as usual. The next Tinto Maps will be this Friday, the 13th, about Central America. Aaand, we will be able to have one more Tinto Maps Feedback post before the Christmas break, the one devoted to Levant and Egypt, next Monday, the 16th! Cheers!

There probably should be a bit more Ingrian pops in Kotchino and Oreshek

Wastelands don’t just represent land that is sparsely inhabited, it also represents land that is impassable to armies. Though knowing the terrain/climate, these lands are probably thick forests and swamps, so additional wastelands could make sense. However, I’m still not sure how granular and detailed they want wastelands to be, as they haven’t been entirely consistent.
if they are not inhabitated but passable maybe passages like the ones in the Sahara make sense?

Are we sure that they were even passable? All I saw was that Novgorodian people travelled only by boat. For example, to get to Onega city they went from Novgorod to Ladoga by Volkhov River then with the Svir River they got to Ongea Lake where they went south to the Beloozero to transport the boat to Onega River and they sailed upstream.

Оказавшись на Онежском озере, славяне двинулись от истока Свири по его южному берегу. Большая часть славян устремилась к находившемуся к юго–востоку от Онежского озера Словенскому волоку, который позволял перетаскивать суда из бассейна Онежского озера в бассейн Белого моря.

....

Достигнув северной оконечности Онежского озера, славяне стали искать пути дальше на север. Прямого водного пути не было, но по рекам бассейна Онежского озера можно было добраться до водораздела и волоком перетащить суда в реки и озера бассейна Белого моря. В конце концов, славяне вышли к Белому морю и стали заселять его побережье.

Here is a small article about Novgorod's colonisation around Lake Onega. It states that the major colonisation of Onega began in the XII-XIV century.

Hello, and welcome to another Tinto Maps feedback review! This week, we will be taking a look at Russia, a very anticipated review (which Johan already advanced in some maps last week).

In the first screenshot you can see the wider picture of the region, while in the second, we have the Russian Principalities more in detail. The main change here, besides the additions, is that most of them are now under the Tatar Yoke. Speaking of that, two more screenshots, the first with the IO itself, the second with the lands ruled by Ivan I 'Kalita', Prince of Muscovy:

The second screenshot is taken playing as Novgorod, which has an elective system to pick its ruler, the current one being Ivan I 'Kalita'; you may see that Pskov and Orshek are subjects of Novgorod, while the other Principalities share with Novgorod a Personal Union under the aforementioned Prince of Muscovy.

Dynasties

The map of Russia is much clear when you just take into account the ruling dynasties... :p

Russia is in general terms a cold, flat, and forested region. The climate has already been changed to the new standard (1901 distribution). Please let us know any further terrain suggestions for us!

Development
View attachment 1228111
View attachment 1228113
Another new map, the development one. There's a big difference between the core lands, and the outer ones.

Harbors
View attachment 1228114
A few interesting harbors here.

Cultures
View attachment 1228115
Some tweaks here, as we now have Bjarmian, Polatskian, and Smolenskian spreading over the Russian map. It's WIP, so suggestions are welcome.

Languages

This is our current proposal for Russia, following the feedback received, although take it as non-final. First, there are two Languages, Russian and Ruthenian, both belonging to the Slavic language family. Each of them is divided into two different 'Dialects' (remember, this is a gameplay term, as they're closer to real-life languages), Novgorodian and Russian for Russian, and Belarusian and Ukrainian for Ruthenian. The later terms are a bit modern for 1337, but we wanted to show here clearly what linguistical spheres we wanted to portray; we will gladly receive suggestions to potentially change these names for more flavorish ones if you think so. Finally, the third map is the Court Language, as you may notice because of having Latin over the Livonian and Prussian lands.

Religions
View attachment 1228124
Not many changes in the religious map mode. The main one is the portrayal of 'Finnish ancient religion' ('Suomalainen muinaisusko'), which we've called in-game 'Muinaisusko'; please let us know if you like this name, as well.

Raw Materials

I suggest you to make an exercise, and find the differences with the original Tinto Maps...

Markets
View attachment 1228130
Not many differences, but I thought that a bigger picture wouldn't hurt, as taking a look at another endonym possible with our new flavor system, 'Moskva'.

And that's all for today! We'll be reading your feedback to our feedback review (feedback loop!), and replying to your questions, as usual. The next Tinto Maps will be this Friday, the 13th, about Central America. Aaand, we will be able to have one more Tinto Maps Feedback post before the Christmas break, the one devoted to Levant and Egypt, next Monday, the 16th! Cheers!
A Proposal for Languages/Dialects of the russian Region:
1733938876674.png

Green Line: written Ruthenian
Yellow Line: written Russian/Muscovite
Blue Line: written Novgorodian

The coloured Regions show the actual spoken Dialects inside the dialect Continuum that still existed in that time period.

I like the Basis of Language as Ruthenian and Russian as they are based on the literary Standard that later made clear Distinctions between the Langauges but would suggest that Dialects could be changed to the historical Dialects/Languages of the actual time Period as shown in this Map.

If Zaonezhye were to be renamed to Obonezhye, then the current Obonezhkaya province should probably be renamed too. Similarly to the current Zaonezhye province, it could maybe be named Lodeynoye Pole after the Lodeynopolsky Uyezd established also in 1785. A thing to also consider is that the border of the two halves of Obonezhkaya Pyatina, the southern Nagornaya half and the northern Zaonezhskaya half (also known as Zaonezhskie Pogosty), ran through this area, though the border was apparently a little unclear. Perhaps the province could just be divided between the surrounding provinces according to this border?
Actually I think I found a good name for Obonezhkaya: Mezhozerye (межозерье), meaning "between lakes". I found the term when reading about Vepsians.

From the Russian Wikipedia page for Vepsians (Google translated).

1733939371557.png

Google translated Wikipedia page for Межозерье.

So from the description the term seems to roughly refer to an area like this, perhaps including the whole area between Ladoga and Onega too. This also matches the territory of the Vepsians pretty well, with which Mezhozerye is closely associated.
1733939770418.png


Arctic Megapedia gives a description like this, including towns from a slightly larger area (Google translated again) (source):
1733940006594.png


From what I can tell, this name would work well for the current Obonezhkaya province. Here's my revised Karelia province rework idea with Mezhozerye:

In contrary to the 'languages', 'dialects' have a different purpose in the game, they do not represent historical setup for 1337, whey do not have mechanics, they do not affect relationships, diplomacy, satisfaction etc. 'Dialects' are used for proper locations' and characters' naming relevant to modern languages. To distinguish Chornobyl Charnobyl Chernobyl or Dmytro Dmitriy Zmicer.

A note before we start on the area that we've covered in this update. We've focused it on the core Russian lands, plus the Kola Peninsula. This means we've not yet updated the lands of Vyatka and Perm, nor those ruled by the Golden Horde. These will be covered in the future Tinto Maps feedback post, probably the one for the Steppes and Western Siberia. With that said, let's take a look at the list of changes, and then start with maps!
