Is that link the same map as before? I notice you crunched the eastern part of Russia. Also some of the Hawaiian Islands are missing.
Its different. The free vector world map doesn’t have small islands.
I had to put them in from live traces of google maps. And we will do that later. Continent has to be done first.
What do you not like about the previous map? Do you feel its too large or? I think its a fine starting point whereas the one you posted is going backwards on work both of us have already done.
The layers were crushed.
Its large yet Europe was small. (When both scaled to 178cm your edit is 25.3cm and this new map is 29.5cm for Western Europe to Ukraine.)
We need a neat new map as a starting point / base map for the 3 AARHE maps.
I did all the techniques mentioned I think. Trimmed north and south. Trimmed Central America. Shrunk North and South America. Shrunk Soviet Far East…
Maybe there are more so we can enlarge Europe further.
This is a screenshot comparison of the two maps.

If you want a realistic map which is the point then enlarging Europe alone is impossible unless a major edit also must occur to patch it to the territories that are not enlarged. Its impossible unless Africa and Middle east are junked. Thats why the former AARHE 1939 map has a poor representation of the area between Suez to India.
No we enlarge Europe. Forgo realistic map.
Don’t get confused. These are two different projects (my “real map” project and the AARHE project).
The new AARHE maps still has to be playable.
I made a few mistakes on the line work which im fixing. If you want a fancy script try and make one. I will type out the names of territories so they can be added as a layer and easily changed into any font so dont worry.
You talking about sea zones?
Until the continent/territories are finalised, we can’t do the other work yet.
Don’t work on them yet.
I have not worked on islands at all, i left the map you have alone. only the entire map globally was altered. As you know the islands are way too small and will need to be enlarged (and more islands added) so its playable.
Yes we shall enlarge UK, Japan etc. Thats all very easy compared to getting Europe right.
