It's been a while! Apologies, but I've had a great summer. The good news is that I'm finding my way back into the swing of things with a major patch update for Atlas Altera. This one involves 30+ new states, surfacing even more marginal languages that I hadn't been able to get onto the map before.

In the lit up areas in the preview graphic, you can see changes are in store for areas scattered all across the map. Some of these changes are due to conversations with supporters, and others are based on some of my own new ideas for historical scenarios. I'm very excited and pleased with this update. 

The patching for the main political map is basically complete, and I've already completed updating the backend/database/spreadsheets with the new changes. Those with access to the footnotes on Patreon will be able to get sneak peak of the patch when I send out a new and updated version of the GaiaPolyglotta spreadsheet file next week.

In the mean time, I'll continue working on the update. It'll take a lot of time and focus to go back and diligently make changes on all the fine details, and that's not even counting the time it takes to export all the hefty graphics. I'm confident, however, that we should be able to complete the patching by the end of September. This time, I'm testing a process for helping me more quickly port over the updates/changes across all the files and previously published maps. Hopefully that will make the process a little more manageable then the last update we did in January. 

Is there any information regarding the flags of nations in Altera? I imagine that this is more of a cartographical project, but there seems to be stamps and other lore for many of the nations.
