I left Tedima, because I disgusted and get bored. I always wanted to an island territory and I got it thanks to admin :) I strove so much and I succeeded!

Now I have different plan, I must raise new island country Mascarena and it must recognize by the world. I’ll try to go further and construct US style cities.

This time, I’ll never give up and I’ll reach my goals in future.

Everything will be better than past.

Happy mapping!

I dream a day that the Free Editing Countries would be a little more organized, instead of a Commonia, the biggest example of a very big clouster of everything trying to merge, because most of the time, people map there ‘til they get a territory and then leave the city behind, or leave the site. the few who stay are the ones who improve, but is a rare case. I won’t blame the “bad mapping”, because no one needs to nailed it. But for things like giant fidget spinners or citis made almost from Motorways or Trunk Roads, that being Breassau before the change, it feels wrong and sometimes plain out cringe worthy. But most likely this rant is me looking for problems that don’t exist. Just comment

I decided to clear the Susquehanna Federation of towns and cities and decided to remake the Susquehanna Federation i have began to Redevelop the New Schuylkill State and the City of Schuylkill Park making it look more city like and more to scale

I want help to build a big city in the town of Denissia, on the right side of Freetabourgh, near District of Denissia Airport. If you could help, it could be a good thing.

Hi everyone,

a new diary entry to share with you the first steps of the creation of the capital city of my territory (Brennland): Brig. Brig will have a population of about 800.000 inhabitants and is inspired by historic European cities, like Wien, Budapest, etc . What you see is a small part of the historic city (the centre, which will be huge). The city will have 4 or 5 underground lines, 2 rail stations, an airport (now roughly sketched) and an airport rail link. Let me know what you think of my city so far, if you please. Happy mapping to everyone!

As i see American farms are very VERY big, and Dutch ones are Small, how i should make farms size of?

This is probably my final diary entry before I disappear for a while.

It has been quite a frustrating time for me, due to my one moment of folly. Since all of my wiki work is going down the drain, I decided to give up Singkangia for good, relinquish my territory and start again like any new mapper who first came into OGF.

Singkangia is not really my ideal project. I should have initially read the FAQ more closely and write a proposal to admin to bring in my pre-OGF project-the nations of Pointochinikia- at the time last year. Well, I decide I have enough maintaning a white elephant and go back editing in a blue territory (after asking the admins to lift my ban on blue nations).

After that, I may take part in a collab project, just to map and not interfere in the wiki. Then in the far future when I mapped 20% in there, I may bring in my pre-OGF project and possibly ask for another appeal to lift the wiki ban.

To finish off, I thought of giving this apology to the admins for my past actions this week, and for giving them a hard time. This is Zhen Kang (Z.K.), signing off while I plan and focus on other commitments.

Hello, mappers, I was reading the Mapper’s Challenge #20 when I thought of making a movie studio. Soon, I realized this: why not make a city like Hollywood (you know, because it has a big movie studio and all)? I may be asking too much, but because I’m not that good at making maps, should we team up on making this?

I await you mappers’ reply.

-Sincerely, iiEarth

Dear mappers,

Thank you so much for helping me improve Los Oros! I gotta give this to Alsatian, who helped me a lot. Again, thank you, Alsatian!

The area of Grand Louisiade / Nouvelle-Montréal on western Commonia was rather approximate so far, but as I am mapping hills and landuse all around to get at ease with geofiction mapping, things start to get fixed together… and look better !

(EDIT: I also mapped some new towns, like Testville-sur-Mer or Quatre-Rivières and all the landscapes around, and added some details to Grande Louisiade)

I tried several ways of mapping hills to see what is looks like when rendered. Also I tried not to clear or displace too much of the already existing elements, and not to steal too much land around the already existing villages other contributors had created, except for Grand Louisiade where I added some neighborhoods to make this blank metropolis area look better. Finally I tried to stick to the current theme of this area, which has:

1) tropical climate 2) naming conventions that reminds of Québec / Canada on some other famous planet ;-)

So let’s start with the inland of our Commonian Canucks territory, northwest of Quatre-Rivières, we have here something that looks like a semi-arid lower hills landscape, having forests only on the side of rivers.

Then a bit further south: Monts-du-Chauve is a big natural barrier between Nouvelle-Montréal and Quatre-Rivières, and as you climb up the round hills, the forest gets scarce. Tunnels were already in place on the highway in this area so I just added some mountains on top of it. Does not render really well in my opinion, too unrealistic.

We can see a big isolated mountain range as we look towards north : Evergreen Mountain, south of Collines Limitrophes hill area. This one is full of forests and almost looks like an inactive volcano.

What was this?

Hey everyone,

I’ve really been dedicated to my city of Klausburg lately. I think that the city is looking way more realistic by now. It’s supposed to be a typical German-looking city, with around 120 000 inhabitants.

What do you all think? Is it coming along nicely? All thoughts, suggestions and criticism are welcome.

Regards

I’ve been working on Albert for a while, though I recently removed all my roads and started again, because I was really dissatisfied with how it was looking. I’ve tried to make a more structured system by having ‘city zones’ between tertiary+ roads that control their small region under control of the city, and the roads inside the zones are decided by them. It’s been pretty successful, but I’m still having trouble making it look like a realistic city.

My main problem, though, is dealing with elevation. The city is supposed to be in a mountain-heavy region and I have trouble making the roads appear that way. The forests are supposed to be regions too steep, that were left as forests. However, there is still lots of elevation outside those forests, and I need a little advice/help dealing with it.

I’m still mostly happy with how this is turning out, even if I had to start over.

(Also, you may see some out-of-place buildings, those are just leftover that I used for reference)

Hello

I am an active OSM contributor and I’ve always had some geofictitious worlds in my head that meet the requirements here (modern world fiction) and I would be glad to join the project for mapping my ideas in your world.

I tried to join like several years ago but my account was terminated after hours, for some unknown reasons, without me being able to do a single commit. So I hope the project is still active and that I will be able to participate in it.

If I understand, I must prove my skills by populating an area of a common zone with JOSM, create some test cities etc., and then if I am active enough I will be able to take possession of an available country.

I do not know how to get in touch with other members in case there are some mandatory ways of mapping, like some unwritten customs I should know, in addition to those written on the wiki home page etc. but anyway if I do any mistakes please let me know by PM before banning me !

I hope you understand my motivation in the project. See you at Commonia’s best beach resorts !

Hello, guys. I have a question, as I joined very recently. How to make good cities? What should I add? Any tips? Thank you for using some of your time to review upon this.

I am making a new airport in Gobrassanya: Loken Regional Airport. This is a very small airport .

The route finding algorithm works for me only sometimes. When it works, the results were so far correct. I wanted to play around with ferry travel times but again since two days ago it is not working anymore.

Does it sometimes crash and is then resarted again regularly? I never saw it working consistently since the feature was introduced.

Is it supposed to work or still in a testing phase?

I know, this maybe is the worst question, but iam asking anyways: What is our first language, for example, in the RW, there was Mesopotamia the “first” civilization, they speaked Sumerian.

So, in conclusion Mesopotamia speaked Sumerian, so i guess OGF should have their “first” civilization AND “first” language.

PD: I will mapping my country but i was very busy this days.

PD2: My country Garzibania have an a ongoing civil war, if you do not know it (I was some busy to map it).
