I've got a map of western Java almost finished - as usual it still has to be populated, though that is already about 30-50% done ... luckily many village templates can be used between this one and New Georgia - just a question of shuffling things around a bit ... and I have to figure out what to do about Batavia Stad - make it with European houses and place palm trees all around?
And for fun and to give it a period flavor, I made the Java map in Dutch: 'de Groene Gordel van Smaragd' 'Ons Indiee' en 'Ne'erlands Trots' ... dit voor al mijn noorderburen ... ze mogen ook eens wat in hun taal hebben om overheen te vliegen ...
A member sent me a wonderful period map of the area with the old Dutch names. They are so enchanting and colorful: 'Menseneter Eiland (Canibal Island), Dwars in den Weg Eiland (Dab Smack in the Way Island) and others ... really cute names sometimes, very adventurous sounding, old VOC stuff ...
