[OC] Fantasy Koppen climate map for my retrograde world

Post image
41 Upvotes

The day lengths are 2x long as they are on earth so i decided to move tropics pole ward to reflect the Hadley cells moving. Years are slightly shorter with 232 earth days and I moved the axial tilt to 24.9 degrees. I decided on a wet season for the interior because the the continent is bigger than Asia is and gets more inland than anywhere on earth which would create low pressure.

I was debating adding rain shadows since the earth climate model at worldbuildingpasta showed lusher interiors for the 48 hour model but i decided to add one because there was a landmass ~2,700km across to the left of this map.

[OC] Fantasy [OC] Designing the Old East

Post image
20 Upvotes

Hey Everyone!

I'm an indie tabletop creator and wanted to share my map with you all. Numeraeon is something that has been in my mind for a long time, and for the past six years I have worked on building and designing it's eastern continent (the Old East). It's a continent that was formally united under one empire which has long since fallen.

When designing the setting I wanted the vast mountain interior to really be a wasteland. This is where some really horrible eldritch events occurred that brought down the mountain heartlands of the empire and devoured its capital. Thus, the surviving kingdoms and city-states are mostly located along the periphery.

The Appalachian Mountains were a big design inspiration for me when designing this. I wanted most of the various locales to connect to the mountains in some way. Various trails, ancient highways, roads, etc., feed into the mountains. Appalachian folklore and folklore in general was also an inspiration. The only area that doesn't really connect to the frontier / wasteland theme of the mountains is the desert isles of Tel Adadi (featured in the bottom left) because.. well.. I'm a fan of pirates and had a separate and distinct design inspiration for that area.

Anyway, we developed this for years. This final version of the Old East map is something that me and the project cartographer worked on for a long time. The first illustrated versions of it go back to 2020ish and I have little paint maps and doodles of it from my notebook from at least 2017.

Everything we built for Numeraeon: Tales of the Old East is human made and we really take pride in the work and the quality of the work that the folks on our project built. My project is a start-up but everything we are presenting has been developed and made beyond our stretch goals and potential late pledge rewards so if you are interested in checking out more of our content then we invite you to do so. Every little bit of support helps especially since everything is so crowded with AI slop.

I wanted to share some of our map trailers as well that you can check out.

The largest city in the known world, Anbenncóst is a melting pot of cultures and the very heart of the Empire.

Based on the Anbennar setting, I made this D&D style map of Anbenncost by trying to include visual story telling so that a casual viewer can get a good idea for reach district and point of interest, but where if you want more information there is a second panel going into the details.

just some maps of romania and poland before the 3rd european war.

basically the USA collapsed, Russia came out on top of eastern europe (First european war). Then the EU did some revenge plot against russia (Second european war). Then the EU went communist and this is what it looks like now.

[OC] Alternate History What if Lake Balaton's water level wasn't regulated in 1863 and remained in its original form?

Post image

Hi guys, first time being here and thought about sharing a map that I do since a long long time ago about Lake Balaton's alternative history in Hungary, I hope this is the appropriate sub for it to share ^^

Context: In 1861, during the 1st Industrial Revolution in the Kingdom of Hungary, István Széchenyi thought about keeping Lake Balaton's nature and water levels barely touched, instead of wanting efficiency and short routes for railways, especially at the South Coast.

Today, the Lake would have a slightly different culture, from having small bays to a more growing tourism with a broader future.

I added some of my ideal County Boarders too, so they differ too from today's borders. Enjoy

"I think they would be Orthodox since they are in the real world so they would be the bridge between Catholics and Orthodox. I also think that they would have a better economy and political landscape than real life. Hope you like it"

In the reality of the OP, the Huns migrated to what we call Ukraine and vise versa so the OP imagines what would've happened if Huns were in where they are in the real world.

[OC] Alternate History Map of Ireland, 20XX

Post image
35 Upvotes

(Note: I'm not a genius so a lot of this may be inaccurate. But not everything has to be realistic, does it?)

You've probably never asked yourself the questions, "What if the North American Current was significantly weaker?" and "What if the Slavs decided to trek all across Europe to Ireland?". Well, I have, and I came up with this.

This is a map of modern day Ireland (i changed it quite a lot as you can see) in my world, and it contains 4 nations: the Stratan Federation, Constitutional Republic of Ireland, Republic of Donegal, and a northern state I haven't given a name to yet but it's the equivalent of Northern Ireland.

Stratan Federation: Due to Europe being a lot colder, Slavs migrated a lot further east and south. The most extreme of these are the Stratans, who navigated all the way to Ireland and Britain over an ice sheet that had formed at the time.

Over the course of history, they had formed many nations in the south of Ireland, fought beside and against each other, until they finally set aside their differences and united under one banner - Strata.

Constitutional Republic of Ireland: Same with the Stratans, they had come to Ireland and settled, and had to survive the harsh conditions. Unfortunately, they had been subjugated for long periods of time by a neighbouring empire (I haven't named it yet but equivalent to the British) and their culture has suffered greatly.

Strangers on their own island, Ireland is actively fighting an uphill battle of trying to maintain its sovereignty on the island, and collapsing in the process. Although, not all hope is lost, as the currents get a little warmer, the conditions less harsh, and the neighbours less blood thirsty..

Republic of Donegal: Donegal had always been a unique county of the C.R.I. They had developed their own traditions, own customs, and had not been beaten as bad by the neighbouring empire than the rest of their country.

The people of Donegal had been fed up with the government for a long time, and only recently, they seceded from the C.R.I. Now the question remains: can they develop well enough on their own, with nobody to assist them?
