That's some great progress. I would love to see some flavour for Merina and other Malagasy kingdoms, but I might be the only fan of this corner of the world.

Kaffa over there looks like it could use some attention. Surely something had to happen there, beyond despair at losing monopoly over coffee

I think I can speak for the dev team in saying we'd love to have your input on content for Madagascar! There's a join link for the Imperatrix discord higher up this thread, if you join you can contribute to the mod directly.

I'm pretty busy right now, but I should have some time over Christmas to think about this and drop some ideas at discord.

Huge thanks to @Licarious who helped us recently with some updates to their port locator generation tool. We now have ports implemented and working!
Thanks are also owed to @Pureon on the Pax Romana modding team Discord for generating road files for us.

Using my 2000th post in these forums for a curious question: Will there be railroads in Imperatrix: Victoria as well? If so, of course an on-map implementation would be great...as seeing little steam trains travelling over the map of a strategy game is personally my ultimate eye-candy
I'm aware that this very likely beyond the realm of modding, so just forgive me getting carried away for a moment...but maybe there will be least road-like tracks on the map, railway stations as a building or a tech...- 1
There will be railroads, they will be upgradeable, and they will have graphics!Using my 2000th post in these forums for a curious question: Will there be railroads in Imperatrix: Victoria as well?

I'm super excited for this mod, but I feel like holding up its even buggy release or alpha state after so many people permanently leave IR will hurt its traction...
Let's help perfect it together, we can play test and get involved, don't feel obligated for a really good launch

We appreciate your enthusiasm, but we really have ripped out the guts of the game in order to rebuild it to our design. There's not much you can do to playtest at the moment unless you're directly coding or researching - on which note, if there is an area you would like to help with we are always open to volunteers!I'm super excited for this mod, but I feel like holding up its even buggy release or alpha state after so many people permanently leave IR will hurt its traction...

Rest assured that progress is being made on multiple fronts daily and we are working towards a playable alpha.

I'm a bit curious about this mod and has a starting interest in the time period. So I was wondering if you could post more info on the subject of doing research for the mod?
We are happy to receive anyone who can offer time to look into the history of a region or general topic of the time period, which could be something like social change or as specific as the variations in colonial policies between nations. We really just like having anyone with an interest in history on board.
We try to keep a high standard of rigour in our research, so we ask for people to look up and bring sources when suggesting additions or changes to the mod. Many of us have access to libraries so we can help you find reference literature if you don't yourself, and of course there is a wealth of info to be found on the internet.
Is there anywhere in particular you are interested in looking at?
Oh, and since you messaged, we should share some new content from the mod! Most of our teasers go out on the Discord server (check the first post for the link). A couple of new dev dairies will be coming up soon..

It sounds good that you have a standard of sources, given the many myths, to my knowledge, about many things in this era of history.
I'm gonna chew on this one and see if I feel that I can commit to this mod. I have other interests and such and don't want to make promises or commitments that I can't keep. I'll get back to you on this subject.

EDITED: I've been looking this over and I think that I am not going to be able to commit sufficiently to actually join the development. I've got to many irons in the fire, so to say, and thus I think its better than I pass now than disappoint later.

We are more or less done with mapping out population for the whole world. Of course, little additions, bits of refinement and extra detail continue here and there, but here's a map of (most of) the world populated in 1815:
We have some pretty exciting dev diaries coming up soon, so watch this space!

Wow that looks so good. Will you make releasables like Quebec from the dominion of Canada?
We have designs for a number of formables and yes, eventually we will add lots of releasables.
