Czechoslovakia - MAP FOR VANILLA

[Lomi93]

I like the Slovakia map in the game, but I think there should be Czechoslovakia modeled in the vanilla game, don´t you?

I guess map need to be square? Or it was fixed and rectangle are allowed?

would be really hard to do because of the length and maps are currently limited to 20x20km squares

Well... the map is limited to being square, but you can always limit the playable area with the borders.

At the rate we are going with new map mods it's only a matter of time before every country in the world has their own "Republic".

I don´t think we need this, smaller regions (like parts of the republic similar to new Moravia map) are much better. Why?

Too large areas you need to scale down equally so they are somewhat recognizable. 2-5x scale down is not that hard, but imagine even only Czech republic fitted in 20x20 square km space. That country has around 600 km in width iirc, so it would mean to scale down EVERYTHING by 30 times. It would be awful result.

Sněžka, highest CZ mountain, has 1620m height; lowest point is 115 m over the see level. That is ca 1500m difference; divide that by 30 and you have THE WHOLE MAP with maximum of 50m height difference. That is really bad idea. You can try to compensate by scaling it less on vertical values, so the span would be not 50m but maybe 150? 200? You cannot do much, though, as the area is barely recognizable afterwards anyway and would feel cramped. And any "terrain softening" would erase whole former hill ranges etc.

Do Prague region. Do Moravia. Do other parts, but only parts, so they sort-of stay playable and recognizable. Not a whole republic.
