Sorry, but I don't fully understand your reaction O__o
You draw a big gulf in Netherlands and Orimazd told you that in that period it looked differently, because it was flooded as late as 1000 AD.
And you say that you will keep in Netherlands that big gulf because the sea depth nowadays is there just 1 meter and you can walk over it?
Somehow that's not making sense
Anyway, good progress. Map is filling quite quickly

I would have said something but I got the feeling that I don't get the point across. Anyways, I'm not doing the map, so...

Also nowadays the depth of the sea in that place is one meter (therefore not so high and anyone can walk accross it), but in all the maps the Frisian islands result detached by the continent. It's absolutely normal that in a map in that place is drawn some islands.
It's as to complain about the fact that in Africa some rivers in summer are in a way and in winter in a certain other. Me these African rivers I do them as they are in summer, the map cannot change according to the season.
Besides, if you for instance look in google maps, in the satellite map anyone seen very well that the Frisian islands are attached to the continent from a muddy zone, if you look instead at the normal map they result disconnected.
Maybe in wadden area I will write not Wadden sea in latin, but another name.
Anyway, thanks for your observations.
Nowadays. But are you making map of nowadays or of 1st millennium CE?
Nowadays there are islets and a gulf, but 1500 years ago there was a solid land.
Try to look for example on changes of coast line of Persian Gulf or of Adriatic Sea over time, and you'll see that the change over 1000 years was very drastical. The shores did not move in the millennium just by few meters, but on some places they moved by even dozens of kilometers
You can't take coast of nowadays as a reference for such old period

Ok, but also nowaday there are in some parts the depth of 0 meter... but in the maps this is drawn as sea.
I remember also that in 400 the coast might change, so it is imprecise. Also some African river in summer are several respect the winter...
For me this isn't a problem...

Two dozens of km are as 1/10 the distance between Praha and Brno. In the map is negligible.
Thanks anyway for the observations.
Tomorrow I will post other Eastern Africa coasts.
Today I can't post other Eastern Africa coasts.
Today happened me an unforeseen event......
the netherlands are way out of shape i can tell you, i have seen enough map mods that done the same thing
and the "west frisian islands" is actualy one, that is not an island anymore. i live there its called wieringeni would juse this map. http://www.leidenarchief.nl/component/option,com_album/Itemid,254/photoid,LEI050000001_254

Ok, so you've confirmed with this post that also actually there are de facto only one land, and not some islands... so why in the current maps de jure there are some islands and not a territory linked with the continental Europe??
Besides, the maps can't change year by year so, it's impossible to make a map that is so-made.
My map is similar to nowadays, but also in the period 700-1200 that there were a climatic situation like today (Medieval climatic optimum) so my map is drawn like in this period: the BoPMOD will be in fact set between 395 and 762 AD.

In the time period this game takes place, they were not islands, they were part of the mainland.
Also nowadays as said martmol there are a mainland... but in the current maps there are much island... why?

BoPMOD map represents the continents like nowadays because is set between 395 and 762 AD, and in the last century of this one started the so-called medieval climatic optimum, so that the temperature and accordingly the sea level were the same of nowadays.
If the sea level were like the actual one, also the coasts with a good approximation were the same like the current coasts.
The coasts change in these 400 year: could in any way change the coasts of the terrains year by year? No, so I prefer represent the coasts VIII century, that is included in BoPMOD.
Tomorrow I posts other Eastern Africa coasts.

The coast of Holland didn't change because the sea levels rose. What happened was that most of it was below sea level, but protected from the ocean by a wall of sand that was eroding away as the people who lived there chopped the trees down. It didn't start to flood permanently until after the time frame the game takes place, most permanent flooding not until the 1100s.
Why the Frisian Islands are drawn in all current maps like islands but as martmol said "is not an island anymore"?
