Just because three were all posted at once

[peak thunder]

Yes

Comedy

[idle totem]

Yes

[haughty wind]

i'm dead serious

[idle totem]

Comedy

[haughty wind]

serious as cancer

[foggy wolf]

whats the best way to find the middle of the map?

[bright fern]

Yes

Comedy

[idle totem]

Lmao the three authors of the South America maps are all here

[brave ingot]

Nah, im making another south america map ☠️☠️

[bright fern]

NO

[brave ingot]

YES

[foggy wolf]

you better we need an updated one

[peak thunder]

Select the square brush and go from both sides until you meet in the middle

[foggy wolf]

what

elaborate

[peak thunder]

Select square

On brush

Then draw

On map

One square at a time

Count em up

Do the same on the other side

Why do you want to know the center

[foggy wolf]

Oh well duh

but is there an easier way?

[foggy wolf]

for science

[bright fern]

dont think so

[peak thunder]

Grab a map, put a dot in the center on photoshop, convert map

[foggy wolf]

darn it

[bright fern]

you can use free versions

like pixlr

or photopea

and that would still work

cause they have the same function

[foggy wolf]

I figured out a (slightly) easier way

two boxes on both sides leaves a 4 space in middle, and its really easy to find the middle when theres only 3 pixels(?) (only on tiny though)

[peak thunder]

Sure bro

Do your crazy science

[foggy wolf]

thanks

[bright fern]

discord in worldbox

[idle totem]

Nice

[warm belfry]

anyone got world map

with countries

[idle totem]

Yeah

Let me find it

#🌐map-discussion message

That’s the link

[steep talon]

Would be a cool feature to have ingame chat

Or livestream where other "gods" could interact with the users world

Ofc they could set the limits to interactions, like 1 blessing every 10 mins or disasters every 30 mins

In short, a multiplayer

But streamable

[bright fern]

That would be epic

[brave ingot]

I told yall i were doing south america XD #🌐map-downloads message

[brave ingot]

@bright fern @idle totem @haughty wind

[bright fern]

the temptation to downvote is real

[brave ingot]

No pls

[bright fern]

but u spent effort on it

[brave ingot]

[bright fern]

and it looks good

[brave ingot]

I even putted volcanos

👽

[bright fern]

i have a really epic map idea

with juicy lore

[brave ingot]

lol

[idle totem]

The only criticism I have is that A: there aren’t any mountains where the Andes should be or in eastern Brazil, and B: the south has way too much permafrost. Besides that, looks pretty good

[brave ingot]

South meant to be patagonia icy deserts

👽

[bright fern]

Never knew that South America had that many river lol

[idle totem]

Patagonia isn’t really THAT icy

[brave ingot]

I made it super accurate rivers

[idle totem]

And if it was it wouldn’t go that far north

[bright fern]

[idle totem]

Also, my point of the Andes being absent still stands

[bright fern]

[brave ingot]

well, i forgot andes

[idle totem]

[brave ingot]

Best part of map is rivers

🤑🤑

[bright fern]

I have an epic map idea

Y’all aren’t prepared

[brave ingot]

Canis majoris map?

👽

[bright fern]

Can units travel across empty pits?

[idle totem]

Yes

They can

[brave ingot]

Yes

[bright fern]

By walking or through boat lol

[brave ingot]

They cant build though

[idle totem]

Not by boat but by walking, yes

[brave ingot]

Walking

[bright fern]

Can units travel across lava

[brave ingot]

NO

[bright fern]

Lmao

I assumed so

[idle totem]

I could do that

I’d have to do it tomorrow but yes

So do you want nations in the map or just a geography map of the Soviet Union and surrounding areas?

[celest wigeon]

I think Kurosawa blocked me for down voting their Pangaea map 💀

[haughty wind]

dawg wanted to downvote so bad I couldn't let him💀

[celest wigeon]

Only reason i down voted was cuz that ain't Pangaea it's Pangaea próxima

I was trying to upvote the Aegean one

[haughty wind]

groveling at my feet will suffice

[celest wigeon]

😐

[haughty wind]

joking lol

[idle totem]

Y’all idk what alternate geography map to make now

[idle totem]

Oh

[fluid crescent]

Guys i'm just trying my best to create maps, why you guys hate me? :((

Tell me what's wrong with my maps and i will fix it

[steep edge]

I’m not a part of this conversation 😊

[idle totem]

You quite literally just convert a map and post it. You’re not “trying your best to create maps”, your converting maps and flooding map downloads with low quality, low effort maps and choking out other creators.

[fluid crescent]

Ok i will not do this again. Now i know

Thank you and i'm sorry for what i did

I'm a beginner at this server, that's the reason why i don't know the rules

I created a map before but soooo many dislikes and i spend 3 hours to make a southeast asian map

[steep talon]

It's really like this, don't mind It

Apreciate the few that like

And It's just posting maps, they get forgotten later on

I don't usually play my maps for long

[fluid crescent]

Yes and i appreciate few likes

[steep talon]

@fluid crescent delete that post in #🌐map-downloads

There's no such rule

[fluid crescent]

Ok bro

[steep talon]

Just polish them a little more

Yk, remove the montain borders, add sand and forests

[fluid crescent]

Ok bro. Thank you for tips

[idle totem]

Ok, listen, I appreciate people joining the community, but I’ve seen the side-by-side with what you put into the converter and what you posted. They’re the same thing. You didn’t put 3 hours into that map.

It’s not that converting maps is banned, it’s that it is annoying when maps that had genuine effort put into them get drowned out by low quality maps scraped straight out of the converter

[fluid crescent]

Now i will put some more efforts on my maps

[idle totem]

Ok, thank you

[fluid crescent]

Thank you pope :)))

If i convert some maps, i didn't share this again

[idle totem]

It’s fine to convert

I do it often

It’s just you have to change it up

Or at least not flood the map downloads channel like you did

[bright fern]

Is converting maps and adding villages then redesigning biomes allowed

That's what I did

On my map

[novel ingot]

guys can someone make South asai maps means India china

[sullen sparrow]

Hello, does anyone have the Japan map for Android?

I'm glad it is the map of Japan as a whole and not to big

[rigid geode]

What mod allows me to edit Weapons?

[idle totem]

Converting maps isn’t banned, and even what JHDrix isn’t inherently banned, it’s just annoying when people flood map downloads with low quality maps that they just converted and then pasted into the downloads channel. It’s not banned, do whatever you want, just understand that you’ll probably be criticized.

[warm belfry]

anyone here?

i need a map of the world with countrys already in it

pls helpp

nvm someone helped me

[bright fern]

Aight

I think I should just make my own maps tbh

I'm just lazy

Being a tablet user is cool when building tho and in landscape

[idle totem]

Oh yeah, your maps are fine. The issue is with people who put 0 effort into their maps and then flood downloads with them

[dry knot]

Does anyone have sort of color chart needed for maps?

[bright fern]

Ok

BRO LEFT THE WATERMARK 💀💀

Nahh

I think he got in the wrong channel

[tepid sparrow]

should've been #🔁map-conversion 💀💀

[bright fern]

Lol

UPDATE: it’s actually against the rules to post map conversions with no changes put into them (According to quicklast)

[tepid sparrow]

ofc

[bright fern]

Has anyone ever tried to make one of the world maps have the accurate population

Like is it possible to put 8 billion people on a WorldBox map lmao

[gleaming salmon]

rip pc

[daring dew]

your entire house about to explode

[broken hawk]

What if someone made an entire map off of Skyrim, like u know u would have all the holds

[harsh lake]

Where can i share my “world map”

[bright fern]

If you’re only on phone, you can’t

Well on iOS

[main junco]

Hello! Is it possible to load custom maps on worldbox for ios>?

[bright fern]

no

[paper hedge]

[gleaming salmon]

Unfortunately, no.

[harsh lake]

K

[abstract prism]

I have a map

[bright fern]

@abstract prism where are the download files?

[abstract prism]

Im on mobile

[abstract prism]

Yah

[bright fern]

Then why you posting things to map downloads?

The whole point of map downloads is to give people access to your maps

Stop posting maps there if it’s just a screenshot

[abstract prism]

I would post in cool maps. it doesn’t let me.

[bright fern]

You need map creator role

That’s also just for downloads

If you want to show off maps then go to #📷worldbox-screenshots

Stop posting in the download section

[abstract prism]

Ohh

Thanks

It was only two Lol

I usually only come here to look at worldbox updates

And idc. at least it’s a good map!

I’ll go look for another community or post it on YouTube

And people LOVE IT.

[gleaming salmon]

can you just ||(censored)||

[abstract prism]

Was that to me or him?

🪦 my map

[abstract prism]

Hello?

[bright fern]

it depends on ur pc and map size

if u have a big map. Its gonna lag regardless if there are humans on it or not

however

if you have a very small map

you will be able to fit a lot of people in

tbh ill test it now lol

[bright fern]

without the game crashing*

[blissful locust]

Hey How can I Download a Map on IPhone

And Hi Im new Here

[bright fern]

You can’t

[blissful locust]

Oh really?

Where can I download one on

[haughty wind]

android supports downloads

[idle totem]

I’m gonna be real, no matter what the size of the map your game will crash if you have 8 billion people

I have a really good computer and it can barely exceed 100k without crashing.

[bright fern]

Everything but iPhone

[blissful locust]

That’s unfortunate for me

[dark vault]

how do i download maps

[daring dew]

why can’t y’all ever just search things up

[bright fern]

Lmao

[bright fern]

What platform are you on

[dark vault]

pc

[bright fern]

i hate pakistan

[tiny oracle]

Oop😔

[bright fern]

@keen hawk Do you take map requests?

If so, could you make a map of Hyrule?

From Breath of the Wild?

[keen hawk]

Many people have made that already

[bright fern]

I've only seen one so far

And it was kinda bad

[keen hawk]

Besides, it doesn't really come out to be a good Worldbox map

[bright fern]

Fair

Too much mountains and rivers kinda ruin a map

make it look pretty but function bad

[keen hawk]

Exactly

[agile ridge]

Is there a way to post on cool maps, Do I have to be a higher level?

[gleaming salmon]

you need to have map creator role

[agile ridge]

Ok thanks for the help

[split ice]

Can some Make The Western interior Seaway

[lyric aspen]

Hi!! There's any way to create a map bigger than the "Iceberg" size?

[steep talon]

Using mods

Dunno what mod it is tho, search it in game banana, there must be something

[gleaming salmon]

conversation? (or no, i dont really know)

[fossil wadi]

Anyone have a map to unlock all traits on mobile?

[muted owl]

my new map will be delayed because of the update

[west mulch]

Any of way of downloading maps for IOS?

[bright fern]

no

why does everyone ask this

just google it or scroll up 5 seconds because thats how often ppl ask it lmao

[gleaming salmon]

becoz

[steep talon]

the fact that the iphone community needs to download maps and put them mannually instead of how steam just download it for you is hillarious.

there's a lot of potential to making a library of maps inside wb

hmmmm

or is it?

dunno

[bright fern]

@vagrant oracle delete your message in #🌐map-downloads and go to #🚑help-chat or this channel

that channel is for people to show off their maps and provide download links

[vagrant oracle]

ok

[uncut turret]

How do you post maps

[kind gate]

Yo

[green field]

hi

[jade badger]

Greetings

[kind gate]

Y’all how do you download maps on steam

[elfin forum]

how do you download maps on ios?

[bright fern]

Bruh

Basically, if you see a map you like in the downloads section. Screenshot it, print it out, eat the piece of paper with the map on it. Then after that, eat your phone, throw it back up, and the map should be in there

[bright fern]

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

[wicked jay]

Instruction unclear, I now have been diagnosed with severe dysphagia and growing pregnancy issues

[bright fern]

good, thats step 4

[steep talon]

Why people ask how to download maps here instead of #🚑help-chat

[bright fern]

@green field for the sake of humanity, please stop posting maps

[steep talon]

Maps are maps, quality control is in #🌐✔cool-maps (cough cough no)

[bright fern]

lmao

[steep talon]

lol

[steep talon]

To post world maps?

[bright fern]

no for the cool maps channel to have actual originiality

[steep talon]

It does have.... From time to time

[bright fern]

its still better than this 💀

[steep talon]

I mean, everyone has their first strps

Steps*

[steep talon]

I do. I can only post in screenshots and nobody cares

[gleaming salmon]

you are on ios

[abstract prism]

[celest wigeon]

If you can't upload maps u can't get map creator

😭

[abstract prism]

Sad

I’m gonna probably quit map creating

[valid crest]

Where do I find how to download maps?

[gleaming salmon]

fr?!?! I didnt know omaygot

[abstract prism]

Hopefully I can find another community

ios problem

not game problem

[valid crest]

Can’t wait to go back to android

[abstract prism]

I never said it was an iOS problem. I said that in a light tone

[gleaming salmon]

if you are on ios, why are u still looking in the #🌐✔cool-maps #🌐map-downloads #🌐map-discussion

theres litteraly nothing to do

[abstract prism]

I like looking at my broken dreams😀

[gleaming salmon]

for ios bois

[abstract prism]

Yes

[gleaming salmon]

[abstract prism]

True

[abstract prism]

I have proof that nobody cares when I post in screenshots

Here’s an demonstration

[sleek wadi]

iOS moment

[abstract prism]

I posted in without download thing at the bottom

It got a lot of traction people loved it ( well i geuss u can count a few upvotes)

And then, eventually I got removed

I posted the next better version and screenshots and nobody’s responded

So thats an ios moment 101

[gleaming salmon]

no maps moment

[sleek wadi]

I feel an urge to make a Shadow Wizard Money gang world box edit

With the different mages we have and so on

[abstract prism]

Can one of you guys steal my map?

Do you know what I’ll just get PC!

@green field might be a bot with no consciousness, I believe he isn't a sentient being and he is pre-programmed.

[gleaming salmon]

he isnt

[gleaming salmon]

he is a real guy who trying to make maps (for real), he dmed me with "thanks" and we talked with him

[bright fern]

Lmao

[bright fern]

Bro stole that from me smh

[solemn lily]

I don't understand why does he make MS Paint maps like what is the point behind it? is he trying to inert too much effort into a map?

[gleaming salmon]

he is just trying to make maps that he like

[bright fern]

BRO HES STILL GOING??

[solemn lily]

Man IDC, he just wastes our time.

[gleaming salmon]

yes

[abstract prism]

We meet again…

[gleaming salmon]

If you dont care, stop asking.

[abstract prism]

Although I was just cranky that day

😀

I’m gonna try every means possible to get my map and a creator role

[gleaming salmon]

he is gonna rise to get 1 billion downvotes

[abstract prism]

[bright fern]

Lmao

Ultimate goal

[gleaming salmon]

@bright fern

[bright fern]

Bruh

He’s just flooding the download section

[gleaming salmon]

its op maps

rip his maps

[bright fern]

I messaged him in Ukrainian

Oh dang

What happened

They all got deleted

[abstract prism]

I think I’ve came up with something revolutionary that can solve all of this ios maddnes

I think I have fixed the gap between Map creating and iOS

[bright fern]

Not really madness. Just iOS people can’t post maps lol

[abstract prism]

Lol I just wanted to sound epic

Look in screenshots

[bright fern]

Nooooooo

[gleaming salmon]

no one recognize them

so yeah

[abstract prism]

I shoot

Sorry guys

[gleaming salmon]

shoot what

[abstract prism]

Oh shoot*

[desert gyro]

I saw that

[gleaming salmon]

[abstract prism]

I accidentally posted a photo in maps

Lol

Nazar made a cool map

[sleek wadi]

It looks familiar

[gleaming salmon]

agreed

[abstract prism]

Kind of

Did he copy

[gleaming salmon]

i like nazar's last map

it reminds me something...

[abstract prism]

Same

But i dont know why

[sleek wadi]

[north crater]

@green field stop stealing maps lol

[sleek wadi]

Just remove his ability to post there

[north crater]

what

[abstract prism]

Well

Anyways

Hmmm

I need some help

[sleek wadi]

What

[abstract prism]

I think I might be able to create a jailbreak loophole to make maps

[sleek wadi]

Hmm

Don't

[abstract prism]

Defying the physics of the boundaries to create a WorldBox map

It’s just going to be simple, right?

[sleek wadi]

Or get an android device or a PC

[abstract prism]

I mean, what harm can I create?

Im not gona do that

[dire ice]

@green field dont steal maps

[abstract prism]

I don’t want to re-create the map I just created for a long time

[peak thunder]

this is the only way yes

but you're risking bricking your phone

[gleaming salmon]

Android/pc users:
Just gimme a screenshot and this map will be mine

[abstract prism]

The problem is

I can technically post them into map downloads

It’s just I don’t know how to make the file

Is it simple?

[peak thunder]

It's located in the save folder

[gleaming salmon]

but ios dont have it

[abstract prism]

In WORLDBOX screenshots i can show

Look

[gleaming salmon]

you can just give us a screenshot and we can make a map in #🔁map-conversion by using this screenshot

but now

ima go sleep so yeah cya everyone.

[abstract prism]

Ohh

I wanted to talk

But bue

bye

[brave ingot]

i dont like it

ty

[mystic umbra]

Does anyone have a big europe map

[coral orchid]

There is no map of all countries with all continents that's mobile friendly

Bruh

[celest wigeon]

Yeah like they'd be able to fit all the countries on a map but trying to stay mobile friendly

Like that'd ever be possible

[coral orchid]

Ok

Doez anyone have a map with a king with king of kings achievement?

?

[lament hull]

How do i download maps on ips

Ios

[sleek wadi]

You can't

iOS sucks

Android is better

[gleaming salmon]

sigma

[abstract prism]

Say that to apple vision pro

[sleek wadi]

Waste of money + looks goofy

Self reactions?

[sleek wadi]

Another semi decent map maker falling for the self upvote curse 😔

[celest wigeon]

When people think their maps are cool enough to get map creator:

(they didn't look at their maps, look at actually cool maps, and make the comparison)

[sleek wadi]

I only did one map

Not enough for map creator

[celest wigeon]

Better than most

Nice

[sleek wadi]

Thank you

It takes a surprising amount of time to clean up an image to map thing

The coastlines and the rivers are a pain

Then if I want to get cool maps quality, I need to add details

And not just normal grass

Then there needs to be consistently good maps

This is the only one I actually completed as well, and it looks boring

[sleek wadi]

Wait

Where is Briel?

[north crater]

discord search feature

[gleaming salmon]

For them it doesn't exist

they want someone to do it

for them

[muted owl]

Briel has been eliminated by mods after posting nsfw

he completely went insane

[sleek wadi]

[idle totem]

RIP to Briel, he will be missed

[steep talon]

I mean 15+ man 💀

But indeed, his maps will be missed

[flint atlas]

What do map makers mean when they say that their maps are numberxnumber

Like for example 27x13

[idle totem]

It means the size of the map. The higher the numbers, the larger the map.

I believe 1 = a 64x64 pixel area, so a 12x12 map would be (12x64)x(12x64) pixels large. (Sorry if my math is off)

[flint atlas]

Oh that’s cool

[steep talon]

It's the lenght and width of a map

[flint atlas]

Yeah I know now

Is the game measured in pixels

[steep talon]

The higher the number the bigger the map.

But there's a limit for non modded maps

[bright fern]

My mobile device lags after 15x15

[steep talon]

Pretty sure most mobile deviced lag around there

15x15 is iceberg size

I also think that wb doesn't use the full capacity of my setup

Or the game is really that laggy 💀

[muted owl]

wb drains so much ram

[balmy linden]

it drains a whole lot less than it used to

@keen hawk any plans to make a larger world map?

I upped your old one to 44x18 and I can practically make every state in the US and have a world map and it be 6gb of ram

that said I imagine once it fills up it becomes laggier

but the improved size could refine how detailed it is

actually a human for scale since its decieving since I only doubled the image size

[muted owl]

it would be best if you removed mountains in certain locations so that starting new cities become possible

[quiet nest]

what size is the iceberg map?

[steep talon]

Somewhere around 12x12

[steep talon]

Oh look what they added

[keen hawk]

The original one is actually significantly larger than the one I posted, it's just too unwieldy to play on

And as far as I know it's impossible for me to actually load it in

And I need to do that to enable or disable specific World Laws to prevent biomes from changing and erosion from happening

I just calculated the size - using the original without resizing it down would turn it into an 88x36 map

That's impossible to load in

[balmy linden]

haha 88x36 might be rough

[keen hawk]

Exactly

[balmy linden]

whats half that

44x18

that sounds reasonable

[keen hawk]

I suppose I could upload it directly without attempting to load it in-game to modify the relevant world laws, but still

[balmy linden]

I havent actually tried any ultra large maps with new optimization so I wonder if I can load in an 88x36 without lagging to hell

[keen hawk]

And half of that is what I ultimately uploaded before

22x6

[balmy linden]

22x6 is technically like 8x smaller

but 44x18 runs at 6gb of ram

and I added 6k or so people just playing around and it didnt seem too bad

88x36 is 4x larger than even that

theoretically I could run that under 32gb of ram

kek

@keen hawk do you have the source image that I can scale down

downscaling should work better than upscaling I think

[keen hawk]

@balmy linden Well I've just finished downscaling it now

And it seems like it still drastically cut down available space

though obviously not as much as the 22x6 one

[keen hawk]

Is there a size limit on the converter?

I just tried converting it and instead of turning into a 44×18 map, it turned it into 20×18

I'm trying it now again and it still says "Map Size: 20×18"

[balmy linden]

there shouldn't be

actually there might be on old versions idk

this was commented out

[keen hawk]

I'm now attempting to load it to see if it came out correctly

[balmy linden]

any luck?

also if you're talking about AMP there is a limit, imagetomap exe version shouldnt have any limit tho

OH

I think maybe its just displaying the wrong value because I swear it should be proper

you can use ~decode on a map and then look at width/height values

displayed value is not correct in the program for whatever reason, probably forgot to remove something. The actual output should be right though.

[keen hawk]

Well I waited for more than an hour and it still hasn't loaded

So I'll just upload it directly

[balmy linden]

wow

yeah probably why

[balmy linden]

it sits at 95% of my memory

but 88x36

madagascar is quite an island at this scale

you can see the upscaled former "pixels"

[muted owl]

what the actual

oh wait

this is a good idea

[balmy linden]

@keen hawk thanks a lot! Though I have no idea how much it actually draws performance wise, so it might run on medium rigs

but performance will vary drastically on population

if I had to guess

and a map that large can have a very large pop after a while

[keen hawk]

Well in my case I just cannot load it at all

[balmy linden]

even 44x18?

[keen hawk]

I have 6GB of RAM but it only took up at most ~3GB

[balmy linden]

it looks great

[keen hawk]

And yet it remained stuck at loading for more than an hour

Good to know it worked properly

[balmy linden]

though you have to massacre the mountains, it is feasible to actually have nations on these bits of land that previously you would have a hard time doing

of course Europe focused maps and such do better on that front because theres places like africa that have massive amounts of land

and maxing the scale of everything is a bit costly

[keen hawk]

How much RAM is it actually eating up for you?

[balmy linden]

6gb

as the like idle

it goes up to like 6.6 to load the world

[keen hawk]

Oof

That explains why I can't load it myself

[balmy linden]

you have less than 6gb?

are you trying through phone lol

1,000 population running at 30x speed makes it about 7gb

7.1 at 2,000

[keen hawk]

I have 6GB exactly, and yes, I have a potato laptop

[balmy linden]

haha

I took apart of a server and it had like 20 or 30 sets of 8gb ram sticks

[keen hawk]

Why do you think I always limit my maps to a max of 16x16?

[balmy linden]

ddr3 but oh well

[keen hawk]

😂

[balmy linden]

im at 32 on my beefy as hell PC

overkill a little bit, but I do renderering and other intensive stuff

AI stuff can easily outdo my specs all the time

[keen hawk]

Well thankfully I haven't needed a beefy PC for such demanding activities

[balmy linden]

6k pop at about 7.4 gb of ram

[muted owl]

hoi4 is faster than wb

incredible

[balmy linden]

everyone has something that hogs their money

[muted owl]

even eu4

[keen hawk]

I can play EVE Online quite easily though so that's nice at least

[balmy linden]

they havent even gotten all the continents yet

[keen hawk]

oh

[balmy linden]

problem with wars is if I turned diplomacy on they would all declare war and I would have no earthly idea whats going on

like 200 kingdoms at war

[keen hawk]

I haven't played much WB recently and it seems like the territorial growth still hasn't been fixed

It's still diamond shaped expansion

[balmy linden]

maxim talked about it last beta I was in

the big update

[keen hawk]

It used to be circular which created much more natural growth

[balmy linden]

or maybe before then

and then it was never really solved

[muted owl]

border gore is realitisc for medieval age

[balmy linden]

border gore would be nice

diamond shapes is unnatural and weird

[muted owl]

you mean city borders?

like

city borders are realy bad

[balmy linden]

I get maxim doesnt want weird stringy countries, but this is also not good

[keen hawk]

Border gore still followed natural borders

Not that unnatural diamond borders you see above

[muted owl]

its easy to fix that issue

you just put more cities

cram them in one place

[balmy linden]

thats not a solution

[muted owl]

it is

it decreases diamond borders

[balmy linden]

if I place all the cities next to each other they will all declare war on each other

and also not good for my world map, because the world does not include everyone at one spot

[muted owl]

that dosent happen on my game

[keen hawk]

All it does is have smaller diamond villages

[muted owl]

exactly what im trying to solve

ill show an example

wait a bit

"june 8 2023" 💀

[balmy linden]

ah welcome to western US

where everything is rectangle shaped

[muted owl]

they're not that squary

[balmy linden]

to be fair theres not a lot of any shape you can do that close together

[muted owl]

it does allow some organic looking empires

also the game borders are literaly just squares

[balmy linden]

I've shown maxim this a few times, but a game thing I did was generate some interesting border stuff

[keen hawk]

Don't forget how the villages are so ridiculously tiny that they don't even have space for all the non-house buildings

[muted owl]

so there isint alot we can do

[balmy linden]

you get weird shapes sometimes and insertions into other kingdoms

but I think its more natural

but it doesnt have like natural borders

[keen hawk]

This is why I always make sure there are mountains and rivers in my maps so that the borders get forced into specific shapes

[balmy linden]

which really helps in determing shapes of stuff

[muted owl]

world map 2245 ac

[balmy linden]

rivers play a massive part in civilization

and they dont exist in worldbox naturally

[keen hawk]

Although in the world map's case there are too many rivers that it ends up being a jumbled mess when scaled down

[muted owl]

worldbox is kinda a low scale map

so

[keen hawk]

so I had to remove them

[balmy linden]

you can put rivers on small stuff

[keen hawk]

The secret is to place one tile wide rivers

[balmy linden]

there are rivers that run across entire continents

[keen hawk]

still blocks border growth

[muted owl]

if it was truly continental sized worlds then maybe

[keen hawk]

but not intrusive

[balmy linden]

hell even for small scale there are creeks

[muted owl]

worldbox feudal system

[keen hawk]

This previous map I posted for example: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/683408717781139464/1097448228972150784/preview.png

just enough rivers to sculpt borders but not too much that villages can't be founded

[muted owl]

all the nations with the same color are the same empire but divided into duchys counties or kingdoms

like ck3

this is a good idea for worldbox

[keen hawk]

I have been pushing for empire-tier countries

[muted owl]

or maybe something similiar to the hre

[balmy linden]

I mean even simple rivers help

[keen hawk]

Especially since alliances are already a thing

It seems very straightforward to just modify alliances to have an empire counterpart

[muted owl]

technicaly could be used as an empire or kingdom title were duchys and counties are a part of

[keen hawk]

the main "kingdom" rules over multiple other kingdoms

In the game's case there are no duchies

so there's that

[muted owl]

just imaginary

duchy and kingdoms are praticaly the same exept kingdom is a higher title

but still

feudal systems are a good idea

[keen hawk]

It's also an effective way to increase map control without going over the kingdom's control limit

[muted owl]

thats why i had that idea to be real

they could also add a horde mechanic

which allows kingdoms to surpass their control limit whitout breaking with heavy penalties

[keen hawk]

That technically already is a thing

[muted owl]

so basicaly mongol empire

[keen hawk]

as long as the king has amazing traits

[muted owl]

i would like to see more border gore

[keen hawk]

then once that king dies, the kingdom goes poof

[muted owl]

fr

it just desintegrates

anyways i gotta go

bye

[gleaming salmon]

Newt left the server

[peak thunder]

Who

[haughty wind]

lmaoo

[haughty wind]

just this guy who made psychotic rants in map-downloads and stole my friend’s server

[harsh musk]

It looks bad

[celest wigeon]

Ayy Boki is back

[fossil wadi]

Qnyone have a map for king of kings?

On mobile

[fringe arch]

Any Final Fantasy World map? The 1-6 maps is better if there is any.

Link to map that gives King of Kings achievement, as well as a few others potentially:
<#🌐map-downloads message>

[fossil wadi]

Thanks it also gave the hreat pluage

Great*

[idle totem]

Lmao, yeah. He told me that you left on your own and that Karii started trying to do violent stuff or something???? He blocked me immediately afterward even though I didn’t respond. What a weird guy.

[bright fern]

@harsh musk your china is way to big u need a super computre for dis like gyatt

[coral orchid]

I helped him lmao

[bright fern]

but great job on da map

[muted owl]

hai

[bright fern]

hallo

[peak thunder]

That China map

Is so big

Impossible to play on big

And the Europe map could do with some more arcane desert and better mountains imo

[steep talon]

Yeah the rants were overkill.

I kinda understand the rants about map stealing

But the other ones were just exagerated

[idle totem]

yeah both of the maps are cool but are a little weird

[gleaming salmon]

map size and his social credit amount are the same

[faint anchor]

@harsh musk for your european map (#🌐map-downloads message) is there anyway you can make it without the rives

[bright fern]

they need the to stretch out the map more then it would be perfect I tried testing it and it was only bad bc eroupe was way to stretched out but yeah they could also fix czechia and iberia also make mesopotamia have better grasslands

[peak thunder]

mainly the mountains in red, too much snow in norway, too much actual sand everywhere (arcane and savanna biomes are better), double fix on iberia, northern russia and finland look weird with the snow and biomes

[muted owl]

just remove the mountains in iberia shrink the mountains in the nordic regions shrink the mountains in the caucases and persia

[long pivot]

how to download a map

and is that posible on mobile?

[brave ingot]

Depends

IOS or android?

[north crater]

yes

oh

i dont get it 😐

[north crater]

wdym

[coral orchid]

Anyone has map with legal warcrimes

[long pivot]

o dont rlly understand steps

[signal loom]

i hate mountanous maps

the map in #🌐✔cool-maps looks sick i would just never use it because of the mountains

[peak thunder]

I try to find a balance

But I just like how mountains look

[untold arrow]

I have a question… how does everyone manipulate the villages to make them accurate for example the borders of real life countries? Or like trying to make the all 50 US states on one map?

[celest wigeon]

Arcane desert is good looking but actual sand represents how inhospitable the area is.

Plus sand is better visually, imo

[peak thunder]

But here everything is just sand

Spain is all sand

[sleek wadi]

I miss the ice sand biome

Literally nothing grew there

The normal desert at least has cactus for wood

[civic karma]

Does anyone have all mods unlocked on worldbox if so can you make a map with two people with every trait good and bad

[harsh musk]

Do you know? You can download a world vegetation distribution map, a world climate distribution map, and a world terrain rendering map. Then you will know how to make a map

[idle totem]

lmao you dont need a terrain map to know bavaria and the alps arent the same in elevation

[harsh musk]

So you think being consistent is great?

bro

You don't need a topographic map to know that the elevations of Paris and Bavaria are different

[brave ingot]

Wassup

@harsh musk did you really made this on hand? This looks so fwkin cool#🌐map-downloads message

[celest wigeon]

@harsh musk call me whatever, but I've looked at and tried to replicate the stylistic design of your fantasy maps because I find it beautiful.

So you got any tips or whatever that could significantly improve the beauty of a map?

[harsh musk]

Learn basic art

[celest wigeon]

Valid 💀

[harsh musk]

And then unleash your imagination

[brave ingot]

Mobile sucks

I miss my pc

[sleek wadi]

based on the zagros and the way they are height-wise

[muted owl]

im making a Victoria 2 day of divergence mod map

[idle totem]

tryna dive into different styles of mountain making because im absolute trash, so im testing out different strategies

[north crater]

whats the main point of divergence in that world

if there is one

[muted owl]

basicaly burgundy exists and basicaly dominated east france exept paris

and europe is a mess

[north crater]

sounds epic

[idle totem]

yeah i looked up a map and its

[idle totem]

russia is always disunited in vic 2 right?

[north crater]

chinese california

[idle totem]

it starts prior to russian unification

[muted owl]

no

it is unified

you're talking about eu4

[north crater]

vk2 starts in like 1830 i think

[idle totem]

oh im thinking of crusader kings 3

[muted owl]

its eu4

[idle totem]

oh

im dumb

[muted owl]

eu4 russia is desunited

[idle totem]

the only paradox game i play is hoi4 so

[muted owl]

[idle totem]

why are the ottoman empire and ottoman near east two different things

and why is the ottoman empire in serbia

[muted owl]

idk

[idle totem]

also why arent they connected

[muted owl]

this mod basicaly changes all of history

[idle totem]

that map is awful

i dont know what they were smoking when they made that lol

[muted owl]

eu4 early game map is worse

[idle totem]

i mean history-wise

looks like an AI made an alt history scenario lol

[muted owl]

crimean ukraine is just 💀

[idle totem]

macedonia 💀

how do you guys do mountains?

whats your best tip

[muted owl]

also just look at china

its so bad

[idle totem]

vic 2 as a whole gives me physical pain

the borders are always just

💀

[muted owl]

its basicaly a The 100 reference

also wtf is the america map

[muted owl]

its actualy good

[tender carbon]

What am I looking at

[idle totem]

the idea that america takes over canada and not california is the most crackhead shit ive ever heard of

[idle totem]

wtf

does this person like

know history

at all

TNO is better than that lol

[muted owl]

actualy it just changes history completely

[idle totem]

idk what you'd have to change to get that lmao

granada is mega gran colombia

[muted owl]

basicaly portuguese and spanish in brazil and latin america

[idle totem]

thats not changing history tho

[muted owl]

they also remade the mod for victoria 3

its way worse

[idle totem]

reminds me of a series of maps i made a couple months ago of what if NATO/USSR won ww3

they were

[muted owl]

delete this

[idle totem]

💀

[muted owl]

japan died

lmao

[idle totem]

i posted these thinking they would be cool alt history maps not realizing the crime id just committed by creating these lmao

ireland is just 💀

[muted owl]

what the

[idle totem]

bulgaria owns albania

[muted owl]

thats greece

[idle totem]

and the soviets occupy like 50% of scandanavia

im talking about the right map

the left one is if nato won

its egregious

germany annexes austria and takes back ww2 lands for some reason

[muted owl]

also nato in ww2

wtf

[idle totem]

it doesnt take place in ww2

i think its in 1978

and the war ends in 1969

yugoslavia just kind of decided to stop living

[muted owl]

thats realistic

[idle totem]

oh yeah and a kurdish state exists in the soviets winning map

idk why, i just thought it would be funny

[muted owl]

my ck3 run after day one of playing as {insert name here}

[idle totem]

tartarstan reigns supreme

[muted owl]

also whoever named {insert name here} as that name deserves to die

[idle totem]

does it mean something bad?

[muted owl]

yeah

technicaly allowed since its not 100% bad

i was forced to play that nation because everyone voted so

worst idea ever

[idle totem]

what does it mean, if you can say here?

[muted owl]

just look at the 1066 ck3 map and look at the steepe

its the brown nation

[idle totem]

oh my god

that makes sense now

im so disappointed in humanity

[muted owl]

i will kill whoever named it that

[idle totem]

do a world conquest

[muted owl]

to be fair tho their heritage is named after that

i feel so bad for them

[idle totem]

as the empire of {insert name here}

[muted owl]

tartaria

i already did

that is a old photo

i wont load the game

cuz it will take too much time

[kind gate]

Yo

How you download maps onto pc

[muted owl]

basicaly bulldozed the HRE to ashes

they just died

anyways i gotta go

byebye

[idle totem]

bye

[north crater]

a

[harsh musk]

Why corruption_ High cannot generate normally

[celest wigeon]

So I'm guessing map styles.like this would be more popular than brutal realism

[harsh musk]

The more magical, the better

[peak thunder]

what, I already know how to make a map

[harsh musk]

emmmm

maybe

[solemn lily]

@viscid jungle Wow your map is a marvelous peace of art! For without it I wouldn't be alive today!

[idle totem]

Another style of mountains im working on

[restive zodiac]

[idle totem]

what is that

[steep talon]

Fr

[idle totem]

extended the mountain range

[celest wigeon]

Assuming this is for fantasy

[idle totem]

yes

not realistic lol

tryna have fantasy features but in realistic ways. i have a mid-ocean rift, mountains along theoretical tectonic plates, erosions, etc.

[celest wigeon]

Your design is beautiful up close but once you zoom out and have more if them it starts looking grid like

[prisma iris]

How to install maps on the new version of the game?

[muted owl]

thats good i guess

[celest wigeon]

Admins need to return map creator to Boki, if they post there and raise the barn that'd inspire others to make something great too

[idle totem]

Yeah, I’m trying to fix it right now

It’s a really big map so I doubt when you’re fully zoomed out it would look that bad, but I want to make this design be my go-to for any size, so optimizing it is probably the move.
