Is that map available in a higher resolution?
The Saharan path from Morocco to Timbuktu can be handled via adjacencies (like the Kazan-Siberia path in AGCEEP).
Native states on which we have sufficient information (Benin, Oyo, Ashanti, Dahomey, etc.) will be represented as well.
Here's a preliminary drawing of Kongo/Angola. I'm not sure whether to include the kingdoms of Lunda and Luba to the east.

Ok, found a mega-hi-res version here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Africa_1802,_Aaron_Arrowsmith_(4017989-recto).jpg
I'll try to finish Africa today, then we can move on to Asia.

Great that you found it.
I am very excited to see Africa when you have finished it. I would not include the Kingdoms of Lunda and Luba in the east, but its for you to decide.
I have some Ideas for Asia too.
Here's that preview of Africa: http://imageshack.us/a/img443/7867/africap.jpg
The drawing is not completely finished yet and will be perfected as I go along and but you can get an idea on the provinces which will be included and the nations or colonies that can be represented.
North Africa and Madagascar aren't completed and I haven't decided what names to use in South Africa yet.

Looks very very good, Great Work!
Is it wise to have these tiny little provinces in West Africa? In detail: Goree, Ndar, Bayona. The same goes for the small islands, are they good clickable? I never liked these small islands in the carribean for example in mymap.
Yeah, all those provinces and islands must be enlarged. Taking into account in-game clickability will be one aspect of the refinement process.
Great to hear that! I am very excited to see the finished drawing and the first concept about asia!
Looks nice, really no need for countless provinces in Africa. I assume that by tidying Africa up you have some more free IDs for new provs right?
VIDIN!
VIDIN!
Yes.
Vidin is there already
The grey province between Oltenia, Bulgaria and Serbia: http://imageshack.us/f/163/eurolatest.jpg/

Ah good, now Balkans are as they should be. That huge Bulgariya was creeping me out, really. Most disturbing. But it's here finally and I am thankful for dat.
Well, as I've told you last time, Japan is rather fine, adding any more provinces there would make it really annoying in terms of clicking. I believe that's fine as it is for now. Only one suggestion for Hokkaidou - same as in MyMap, I'd split it into Hakodate (Japanese port and general base in Ezo at the time IIRC) and Ezochi itself, rest of the island, potentially with Ainu culture and religion at a start.
Something like that.

Yes, Bulgaria is fine as it is now. Europe looks just perfect.
I like the idea to split Hokkaido in two, but i wouldnt put things like Deshima or any other tiny islands in the map. Ryukuyu island is fine.
Dejima and Tsushima would make a nice flavour additions. Well, Dejima has been added by Kasp himself to promote Dutch imperialism to represent Dutch involvement in Japan, I guess it was their trade post or sth. And Tsushima was a major pirate lair IIRC, at least in 15th Century.
Anyway Japan is really good as for now IMHO. And everything is, I think. Therion is the man of Malta, he knows what he's doing. Now, I wonder when he'll find time to convert all PV/AGCEEP stuff to that map, heheheheheh.

Well, I'm counting on people helping out.
There would be no point in publishing a mod if I still end up having to do everything by myself.

Yes, thats the spirit! We stand ready for the converting!
North Africa:
I opted for a Saharan corridor as Morocco/Timbuktu should really be vying to control the salt mines.

Looks good! Will there be a connection south of Fezzan too?
Personally I think it would potentially make it too easy for the Ottomans (especially the player) to expand into Central and Equatorial Africa which is not good through historical point of view IMO.
No for the reason Herr Doctor mentioned and because there were no historical military movements of note from Libya to Chad or viceversa. And by 1400 the Kanem Empire (which ruled over Fezzan before) had disintegrated.
Good to hear that! I never liked the idea to have a connection between Libya and central Africa, so these two available routes are enough.
