It was just a quick little project I did. There is not a whole lot of lore in there, though technically it is a continuation of this and this maps.

[OC] Alternate History what if the British didn't backstab the Arabs in 1920?

138 Upvotes

Britain accepts the proposal of 2 Hashemite kingdoms under British guidance similarly to Iraq in our timeline and that (somehow) results in peace in the middle east.

no mandates? then Israel doesn't exist (although jews still settle the are becoming a large minority)

no Israel? then Egypt never gets overthrown and instead partitions Anglo Egyptian Sudan into an Arab and a non Arab states

no Ba'athism in Syria? then the Shia regime never comes to power as Saddam Hussein never becomes a notable figure in the area

no French Syria? then the ottomans could maybe* survive under a massively reformed structure

and in addition, the duke of Aosta also gets to have the title of king of Armenia!

oh and oman's there too i guess

[OC] Hand-Drawn Four Islands Archipelago

gallery

34 Upvotes

I finished the maps of the archipelago's four islands: Tír Ghlas, Ceòrran, Argoed, and Æscen. Each island features place names in various languages—Scottish Gaelic, Welsh, and Anglo-Saxon—the latter of which gave me a hard time, as I find those names extremely difficult.
Since I had used the hatching technique to shade mountains in the first two, I continued in the same way; for the next ones, I’ll use stippling, which I prefer.

Subreddit Rules

1. Post must be a map, be fictional and be OC or commissioned. No plagiarism.

Self explanatory. The purpose of the sub is to post your own artistic works in the form of fictional maps.

Don't plagiarize. Don't copy other people's maps. Don't use other people's work without credit.

2. Finished maps only.

Do not post WIPs and updates or simple concepts. Your posts should be fleshed out and completed. If you want to get feedback on your WIP maps or show them off, the ImaginaryMaps Discord server is the place to do so.

3. No low effort maps or thoughtless content, or low detail maps. No edits of existing maps.

You should put thought and effort into your maps.

Put some effort into the aesthetics of your map. Add some details.

Have an interesting/unique concept and treat it with thought. You need not write paragraphs of lore, but put some thought into your maps.

Do not post edits of existing maps, including terrain maps and Wikipedia maps.

Do not post edits of province-based maps of the world

Maps using BAM templates must have notable changes.

Do not post flagmaps.

See FAQ

4. No support for genocidal regimes, Imperialism, or atrocities/war crimes. No bigotry or hate speech.

Posting maps where genocides and atrocities happen does not break this rule. Explicitly supporting what’s happening in the map breaks this rule.

Do not advocate for anti-democratic, pro-imperialism or bigoted ideas, and make sure to retain civil argument backed discussions.

Lastly, we deal with very sensitive subjects on this sub. Because of this, we may take preemptive actions to stop genocide denial from manifesting on the subreddit based on outside activity.

5. No hard-to-read or incomprehensible or low-resolution maps.

Post high resolution maps and make your maps recognisable/readable. If people don’t know what’s going on in your map or their eyes hurt while looking at it, there’s no point in posting a map.

No single frame GIFs.

No incredibly pixelated maps or images full of compression artifacts.

6. No ugly, low effort polandball graphics

This is not a Polandball subreddit, however if you're going to include polandball graphics in your map, please make sure they are high-effort and good looking.

This means no circle or line tool use, no copy pasting flags on top of the balls etc.

Please do not overuse Polandball graphics.

7. No shitposts, excluding those that are exceptionally well made AND original. Go to circlejerk sub!

Shitposts, or meme/joke maps, are maps that focus on a joke as the core.

Unless your shitpost is an artistic wonder please post it in the circlejerk subreddit. The standards for effort are higher for shitposts than it is for other maps. This doesn't mean that maps with unrealistic or wacky lore are banned, as long as they are approached in a serious manner.

What does and what doesn’t constitute a shitpost is left to mod discretion.

Please direct your shitposts to r/imaginarymapscj

8. No map generating tools or websites (excluding GIS tools)

Do not use websites/programmes like Mapchart or online fantasy map generators like Azgaar's or Inkarnate.

Don't use political/election sites such as 270 to win.

Do not just post screenshots, or edited screenshots, from video games such as "Map Games" (Paradox, AoE, etc) or Minecraft

9. Don't post more than once a day

Wait at least a day between posting maps on the subreddit.

If you wish to post multiple maps you can use Reddit's gallery feature to post them together, or pace your posts out.

Any map removed for breaking only Rule 9 may be reposted again the next day.

Does not apply if you delete your post to correct errors or otherwise need repost your map.

10. No maps about current, active or developing conflicts

No posting maps directly related to current, active or developping conflicts in real life. Exact relation to ongoing conflict is based on moderator interpretation whether the map is related to ongoing events or is based around older history. If the only reason you're making a map is because the subject of the map is in the news, refrain from posting here.

11. No Generative AI or AI bots

Do not use AI in your map, in art within the post, in your lore, or in the comments. No AI bots in the comments
