Hehe, it's all started when I realized there are sooo many rivers to draw by hand... Needed a quicker way to draw them and then fine-tune later :lol:
About landcover changes, indeed, there are many changes. Take Java, for example, I believe the forests were far larger than just a couple of patches in the pic. But then again, I have a very rough calculations of land usage related to the land's population in the 40's.
Basically I take the era's census (20 million) and current (200 million lives) as some kind of ratio indication (1:10). So it could give some clues regarding the land usage.
Ofcourse, it'll be far better if there's actual data from that time, but I still haven't found it yet...
