I'll say no reservations just yet, because the country you want to reserve may be altered or removed in the new map.
Goodnight! (probably)

Why would fucking Poland be removed? Poland is always a regional power! Except when it was partitioned...

It'll almost certainly stay there, but just to avoid the reservation clusterphuck.

Good, I'd expand it to include the Horn of Africa and South Asia. That way you have potential for some empires that are a bit further out.

As I've seen that map before, I really like the river focus.

I prefer the one with River focus more than the national borders one. The geographical river map would be a better substitute for Rephesus' planned Reverse Colony RP than the Vicky IMO.

Rivers are critically important for civilizations, but during the age of imperialism coastal settlements were prioritized, so I'm not sure on that point. The other issue is that drawing on the river map is more difficult due to a lack of pre-made boundaries.

True. I just feel you can get a better feel for realism with the river map than Vicky. However, due to the difficulties involved with such an extensive map as the one with the rivers, I can understand the reluctance to use such a map. Perhaps use it as a guide?

If I can resize it, I wouldn't mind juxtaposing it over the vicky map for reference. Anyway, the vicky map itself would need to be altered to give more provinces in the Americas and more coastal provinces/bigger inland provinces in Afroeurasia.

Perhaps the best route to go would be to just use a completely blank map and use the Vicky and river map as reference points to create a premade blank map that resembles Vicky?

I have very little in the way of making maps on the computer I'm afraid.

I think the river map could be used. Just takes a few seconds more to fill in, and especially in the Americas the rivers would prove vital.
