Unrealistic trash, do you honestly expect me to believe a peninsula just so happens to be shaped as a boot?
And a giant wasteland to the east? How creative!
Also this, it's an absolute mess clearly only made to pretend the setting is more complicated than it is.
Show more of the Middle East, specifically the Arabian peninsula and Eastern Arabia, and more of North Africa. Otherwise this is generic worthless trash.
More lands but less densely populated compared to others. Iirc bohemia didn't lag that far behind in population size by having around 2 million people compared to Lithuania's 2.5 million.
Just created the map for my late medieval low fantasy setting. What do you think?
last good Europe, as in less than 10 years cannons would become widespread and comfy "kingdoms" would gradually die out until 400 or so years later the Holy Roman Empire gets cannibalized
I wish this world building meme would stop already, just write your fantasy story in medieval Europe and make magic real the frick you need some fantasy world for.
It's either because they don't want to upset whole countries by making them the bad guys (unless russia) or they don't want autists going "Well ackshually" when they want to write about spanish knights in mazovia.
>medieval Europe >countries
The middle ages were organized by Fiefs. So the antagonist wouldnt be a nation but a person and his personal allies.
Thats another thing about fantashitters: projecting modern concepts on a supposedly medieval world.
>Then do your fricking research, tired of lazy homosexuals shitting up history
Or how about they create their fantasy setting instead?
That's the point, it's not worth the effort unless you are a serious history nerd
Alright so there's a massive nation in the east but just west of it lay hundreds of small city states?
What was your thought process OP? Very sloppy shit!
Samogitia borders are wrong, also it was already reintegrated into Lithuania proper by that time. Also you should seperate Lithuania proper and rus lands, because they had different legal system
Y'know with how many pissant little kingdoms in the middle there, why doesn't anybody just bulldoze a frickload of them. Like those angry red island frickers could basically invade with impunity and just start rolling them up. Completely unrealistic. The only reason would be to make a default "Borderlands" for people's dnd campaigns to take place and that's the only justification you could have for them not having been eaten by the greater powers around them.
>why doesn't anybody just bulldoze a frickload of them
before actual workable cannons became a thing (~1450) it was easier to defend than to attack... if there stood a castle or fortified city in your way, you had to starve them out... which was kind of hard considering they probably had provisions until next spring, and you were surrounded by other castles (as a ton of "pissant little kingdoms" = a shitload of castles) who eyed your weapons, armor, and horses with glee
not to mention that every peasant had to know how to fight and provide at least a bow & arrow if poor (or equipment for a knight if wealthy)
but yeah let's suppose you are smart and decide you won't take the castle, but go around it... what the frick are you doing mate? just walking around with your army till they die of hunger? steal the only thimble & silver mirror in the village? eat five pigs?
>what is some family just happened to marry there way to owning half the content >all those tiny states in the middle unify over time rather than being eaten by their neighbours cause "muh power of friendship" or something >Every fricking arc is the germans as the antagonists. Even in the prequel rome arc >hurr durr the island nation is a huge naval power >what if some side character introduced halfway in the plot off int he west (not even on the main map) just comes back as the main character
Hacks tier plot. Too nonsensical and leans too heavily on existing tropes tbh
Not only did you plagiarize this map (flipping it over does NOT means its new) but you choose to do it with one of the worst maps ive ever seen... if you're going to plagiarize shit, at least choose a good map ffs
what the frick is that thing in the middle

Why did you shape it like a kangaroo eskimo kissing a quadriplegic?
>spend way too much time making 100 countries where there should only be one
>just put desert to pad the map
How lazy.
>nogay horde
you'll be cancelled
The publisher said I need to replace it with Trans-oxiana..
Show more of the Middle East, specifically the Arabian peninsula and Eastern Arabia, and more of North Africa. Otherwise this is generic worthless trash.
Why? There's almost nothing but deserts and rocky mountains in those areas; it would add nothing substantial to the map.
That one island to the left is clearly a rip-off from Westeros.
Proof?
Hello? They just made theirs look more rough around the edges.
Why was Lithuania so massive back then
kievan rus collapsed and mongols were declining + they had good cavalry

>Nogay horde
That’s a bit homophobic
Can you show the map in a higher resolution?

I wish that fantasy fiction was as interesting as the 15th-century world.

Thanks for the well achkshually
Yea or bypass all that and write about the kingdom of schmengland who sends husssarschz to help their good friend the schmotton empire.
>the problem with fantasy is that it is unrealistic
lol.
>what is authenticity
also

pfft
>Great Horde
Of what?
>Castile
Learn to spell
>Nogay Horde
You're not getting published.
My question is who the frick just labels huge swathes of the map as "random keyboard rolls+revolt" like what is this shit.
>lithuania that huge
>low fantasy
>low
kek. Literal fairytale tier.
Do people in this thread not realise that it is an actual map of Europe during the 1400s or are all these comments ironic
Are you saying OP plagiarized the whole thing? What a fricking loser.
not a single person said this until you came along. it was a good run
Too many factions. The readers are not going to be able of keeping track of all of them.
Too many peninsulas; the map is not believable at all. What are you going to call this world, Peninsulaland?

Wow, holy shit. I just realized that this is a map of Europe
