Am I right by the way that you're living in the Coast of Holland or is there another seazone which also has been significantly encroached on by the land?
I live within EU4 Kalisz's province borders.
I wonder how people living in places that are on the borders of 2 or 3 different provinces determine their actual province.

The map has been updated for 1.20! Any users who live in areas affected by map changes (mostly China and Japan) should check if the province they are in is still the most accurate province.
Not sure when the cut off for when a positing on a thread is considered necromancy but this is probably close lol
You might be right, although it seems superfluous to me to start a thread like this every x months rather than just continue this one. Of course, I'm no moderator, so I'll ask for their opinion by reporting this post, thanks for bringing this up
The way i see it, there is no hard cut off regarding necromancy : a modding thread can be resurrected after several months, but a thread on a game feature that changes can become outdated and be considered necromancy after a mere month.
In the case of this thread, tre3qwerty being one of the "promoter" of the thread, and given the nature of the thread, i wouldn't consider necromancy just yet... certainly not after a mere month.
How on Earth would it in any way be close to necromancy? THe previous post was only 10 days beforehand...
Plus this thread still has it's original purpose, which hasn't been voided by a new patch.
Problem is every time this is promoted you get diminishing returns on respondentsYou might be right, although it seems superfluous to me to start a thread like this every x months rather than just continue this one.

What do you mean about diminishing returns? Every time it's bumped there will be more people replying thereby getting closer to having a representative map. The old thread got quite far in the three years it ran---with there sometimes being many months between revivals.
I mean the number of people who respond every time will diminish as the number of users who have seen this and haven't responded decreases or the number of people who haven't seen it at all decreases. Basically the forum community is limited.
You severely overestimate how many people have seen it---the forum is very large. We're talking a little under a million users for the entire PI fora. And there's people who aren't here every day, so they might see it later. Or people with new accounts.
Just comparing some of the views on threads in the forum, this is currently at 86k, the dev mp at 279k and quick questions at 3.2m, so yes there are quite a few people who haven't responded but then you factor in the people who are apathetic and well the most people who will see this will be probably ~150k, depends on the effort made to keep the thread alive. And then you factor in the fact that paradox probably counts duplicate views and the numbers seem smaller. Basically running the numbers, yes more people will respond but you can't count on that many more.
The old thread got to almost 100 pages despite being dead for months at a time.
Also the fora indeed are counting duplicate views as a single view. Every time you load the thread it counts a view---in fact It's very likely that merely switching to a new page counts as a view. As such the amount of people having seen this thread is way smaller than 86k---probably 30k at most. For dev diaries on the other hand they acquire their views in a matter of days and hence most of those will be unique views.
For instance UK politics at the moment has 1.3 million views (with 113k posts), but realistically there probably at most is 10k unique people who've viewed it and that's a high estimate. More likely would be something like 2000 to 3000.
And the largest forum games have got to around a quarter of a million views when they ended after a month of play, but yet there almost certainly at most were 100 unique people viewing the thread (65 players for the biggest one---doubt there were more than 35 observers).
