Hi there, map lovers! There won't be a proper Tinto Maps this week, as it's a bank holiday in Spain, and we won't be available to address and reply to the feedback properly. However, we thought it would be a good idea to show some extra maps that hadn't been covered in previous Tinto Maps, but that makes sense and isn't as feedback-intensive as an entire region.

Today we will be showing the islands of the North Atlantic, from Greenland and Iceland in the north to the Azores, Madeira, the Canaries, and Cabo Verde, in the south:

North Atlantic.png

Is that a newfound land to the west...?

Countries:
Iceland and Greenland.png

Greenland and Iceland are both subject nations to the Kingdom of Norway and are represented like that; while the other Atlantic islands are not under the control of any country, and therefore, not shown here.


Locations:
Iceland.png

Iceland is divided into 20 locations and a wasteland.

Greenland.png

Greenland is divided in three parts, the eastern, middle, and western settlements.

Açores.png

The Azores Island has four locations as of now.

Madeira.png

Madeira is one location; we have to review the sea zones and make it only one instead of two.

Canaries.png

The Canary Islands are composed of 6 locations, as of now.

Cabo Verde.png

Cabo Verde islands are composed of 5 locations.

Provinces:
Iceland Provinces.png

Iceland is divided into four provinces (farthings), as historically.

Greenland Provinces.png

Greenland is divided into four provinces.

Provinces.png

Azores, Madeira, Canaries and Cabo Verde have one province each.

Terrain:

Topography.png

Vegetation.png

The terrain types of Iceland and Greenland make them kind of difficult places to settle.

Vegetation 2.png

Terrains of the other North Atlantic islands.

Harbors:
Harbor 1.png

Harbor 2.png


Cultures:
Culture.png

Iceland and Greenland share the same regional culture, Icelandic.

Culture Canaries.png

The other North Atlantic islands are not inhabited, with the only exception of the Canary Islands, which are populated by the Guanches, groups of Berbers that settled these islands some centuries ago.

Religion:
Religion.png

Iceland and Greenland are Catholic places; it is recorded that even an Icelandic bishop attended the Fourth Council of the Lateran, in 1215.

Religion Canaries.png

The Guanches have an animist religion.

Raw Materials:
Raw materials.png

Not very desirable goods up to the north, with the only exception of Ivory, extracted from narwhals.

Raw materials 2.png

Most of the resources in these islands are Fish, with a Sugar location in Madeira (it's a placeholder, we've got yet to make an event about that), and Salt in one of the islands of Cabo Verde.

Markets:
Markets.png

Iceland and Greenland have their own markets, to make them playable at the start. I'm not showing the others, as the Canary Islands will either belong to Seville or Fez, depending on how the calculations are tweaked in the following months.

Population:
Population Iceland and Greenland.png

Population Iceland.png

Population Greenland.png

Population Canaries.png

Not many population living in the North Atlantic islands...

And that's all for today! See you next week!

I've been expecting you. Does this mean no TM 4 Feedback this week?
Not this week, but very likely the next one. The changelog of the region currently has hundreds of changes.

Great, a few questions:
Why are there no natives in Greenland?
What's wrong with the harbour map in Iceland?
Area map plz?
Is Madeira really a one location province?
Why are there dyes in the Canaries, did the Guanche know Dye making?
Really no norse in Iceland and Greenland?

With the islands becoming smaller overall, I hope selecting them won’t be too difficult. Perhaps adding a proximity click feature would help, where clicking near an island would still select it, since ocean tiles can't be selected anyway.

If you don't count the fact that they are frozen for half a year than the majority of the natural harbours in Iceland and Greenlad should be amazing since they are fjords

I think the Azores islands do need to be a bit reviewed, both in terms of terrain and harbor capacity. All the early descriptions describe them as very attractive colonies for farmers, hunters and fishermen, with a dye industry even being developed.

To make them simply Fish producing locations is underselling their role in the Portuguese Renaissance economy. I think the possibility of converting some of them to "Fruit" and "Wild Game" should be pursued, while the volcanic islands further to the West should arguably be either "Grassland" and " 'Farmlands' vegetation, but definitely not 'Forest'.

Also, Madeira should be "Hills". That island is one big rock pointing up. :p
