Hello everyone,

I’ve been mapping my territory for around a year now and I’ve been mainly focusing on my capital (which still has no name at the moment) and a small region bordering a neighbour and the ocean. I’d like to know your thoughts about my mapping.

For the moment I haven’t finished outlining all the main ideas I have for my capital city so I’m mainly asking about the small region I was talking about. I’ve outlined more or less how the things should be in this region and now the next step would be adding more and more details. I’d like to know everyone’s thoughts and ideas about it. (You can still tell me stuff about my capital city, but as I’m making major changes every 2 months or so because of a changing vision, it’s not the main topic here)

Thanks.

After a year-long hiatus, I have finally come back to OGF.

Things I plan to do in the near future:

1. Keep working on Vertbourne (In baby steps)
2. Keep attempting to get a territory, preferably very small and isolated.

Hey,

Right now, there is a lot of turmoil between countries (not in the community in general), and there is a need for an alliance, like IRL Nato, or Warsaw Pact (pre-1991). This can create more stability and protect smaller countries with smaller economies (My landmass is small, but i have a large and stable economy - so i am not a “small country with a small economy”)

If this is a good idea, then we could create an alliance!

Ulethan Military Pact, Ulethan Pact, Ulethan Pact for Democracy, Ulethan Imper- ahem, Worldwide Peace Union, Assembly of Nations Peacekeeping Alliance etc. These names can probably suit the purpose of the pact.

Communism? Theocracy (yum)? Democracy? Anarchy? Monarchy? You name it, an alliance also needs an ideology, a way of thought.

Hey guys! I’ve recently gained ownership of a territory, that I called Oxhano, and I’ve just finished the first city/village of the country! Here it is, it’s called Techami City

What do you think of it?

Thanks

Do you think it is a good idea to make a north-south international highway? We will of course need the permission from other countries to build a highway through their country, and it will be their choice where to make it go. We need to make this motorway have a realistic path (Obviously to save money). This has been done in real life before, like the pan-American highway. I feel like we should stretch North first, with Marvin, Oketia being the hub for the highway, seperating the south and north highway.

I will not do this unless it is supported. I know this is a huge project in terms of roads. I don’t want to destroy the realism of countries, so it is crucial we give it the correct path and it goes through the best cities. What are your thoughts?

My quick apologies to people I haven’t responded to and the relative lack of mapping in the last month or so. It’s been a rough semester and I’ve had less time and energy to devote to OGF than I personally would like. I’ll try to get back to people soon.

Best, Ernestpcosby

Hello everybody

I have already got my own country (San Marcos), and I’d like to propose you all a proyect. I have already asked nother user to make this proyect with me, but he’s very bussy, so I decided to post it in the user diaries.

I’d like to create a situation like actual Macedonia. A country and a region of another country (San Marcos) that have the same origin, and I think that it would be nice if the language could be a little different, not English, Spanish or other very used languages.

Why are they divided? Well, the history is like Carolingian Empire. It was a kingdom, and there was a king who divided it between his 2 children, and one of these parts became a part of San Marcos.

The flag are exactly the same, but the background changes, like in real Macedonia.

A little sketch of my idea. https://imgur.com/a/qveTl17

In adittion, the names of cities and villages of my part of Barte (this name is not deffinitive) would have an origin in the language of South Barte. For example, you can see that in my real region, Andalusia. Here, hardly every name of villages and cities have an arabic origin. An example is my village, Canillas de Aceituno, where Aceituno is an addaptation of the arabic word زيتوني /zaytuni/, meaning olive.

What do you think?

It would be nice if one of you could help me doing this proyect.

I have this question since a lot of time: Is ok to make videos of OGF in YT?

I mean videos of your own, wich are editing your own country or doing a tutorial in your own country.

Hello everyone, I am a new player so I have a question. Do you need permission to turn a place into a National/Provincial park? I would like to turn the Great Ridge Forest and Mount Olympus into some sort of park.

I have a new territory, and I’m moving old San Marcos to the new country.

The problem is that there are a lot of conflicts, and I have expended 2 hours and it looks like it will never finish

Please, be patient

Thank you

Hello everyone,

I am so glad to be back home. I have just finished galavanting in London, Paris, and the Loire Valley in France for two weeks. The trip taught me so many valuable lessons, and inspired me to map again. Around every corner, there was a beautiful view waiting for me. I am so grateful to have gone on that trip, and I’m glad to be home. I’m never gonna forget this.

Going to the Loire Valley was extremely helpful for my mapping because I actually got to see and spend time in a SMALL town. I got to understand the way of life, where everyone knows everyone, and I think I finally understand how to map rural areas!

Feel free to ask questions about my trip. I’ll be happy to answer them!

What happens if you feel like you can’t do the best of your skills and creativity in the territory you have , but the territory you prefer is for advanced users?

So, I’ve been requesting UL082. I know for a fact it’s not taken, as it says the owner is admin, but whenever I message the general admin for a territory, I never get anything in return. Not even a letter saying it’s taken or that it’s currently requested by multiple users. Can anybody help? (Note: I’ve been requesting since my account was 1 week old)

Deleted Diary Entry :I

Given the extremely terrible human rights and economic situation in Antigo (I will spare the details for now), a handful of Antigoans will try to sneak out of the country. Only quite a few managed to survive the crossing (given the fact that our borders are well protected), and even if you cross to Pretany or any of the other two (unmapped) neighbours, they are not so friendly in letting you stay for too long (Pretany often treats Antigoans as second class, which is why Antigo prefers to keep out of Pretanic rule. Suria may not be, while Mazan is not a good place to live in, with arid deserts). The best bet for successful Antigoans who get out can seek refugee status at the AN office (is there a refugee one like the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees? Maybe I will ask bhj867 to map one.) in St. Richards (just across the border), and hopefully get to somewhere far from the regime all out to bring them back. (Watch out for the Antigoan spies!)

So, the AN may need to consider a few safe sites for resettlement of the Antigoan defectors. Will you set aside space in your city/town/country for an Antigoan District? It can as small as a few blocks, but doesn’t need to be so large. It needs to be well protected as well, lest spies will suddenly raid the blocks and take out the Antigoans, so there needs to be a police station. Any country unfriendly to the regime is also welcome (lessen the chances of spies infiltrating).

Hello OGF community! My country is in development and I am planning administrative divisions. When dealing with the traditional editor it is a bit complex, but I feel that with JOSM they can be done more easily. I await your opinion on how to create them.

Good morning! (If you live in the U.S.) I am CharlieG of Artenia, a country around the size of the UAE/Israel. While not present, Artenian buildings and coastline protection are built to withstand earthquakes and tsunamis. These are real occurrences on Earth and they should be brought to OGF, no matter how devastating. I cannot seem to find any support for the idea of the OGF world including fault lines, but I’m sure something could be worked out (maybe on a third-party platform). Earthquakes and tsunamis would drastically change coastlines and building structures throughout the OGF world, so lots of effort and brainstorming would go into this process. But, I think we could all work something out about this issue. I am ready to add coastline protection to my country’s coast, and you should too! Thanks for your understanding! -CharlieG

Does this town hall look realistic?

Me and Dudemap555 will be making a new town, named Outcoast between Milatichi city and the tip of the Great Spooky Woods.

We would like some help with generally scaling it and expanding it.

It would also be great If we could get some tips for making the town to the best of our abilities.

Thank You,

And As Always Happy Mapping!

Given the fact that I live in Alaska and there seems to be no area similar to it in OGF, this question came to me: is there interest in making an Alaskan-type island in the far southeast of Archanta? The territory would be part of the FSA, and could probably be a collaborative effort that focuses on mapping more natural features over large cities. (Although the Southern Islands seems to have the same objective, it looks to be more of an Antarctic comparison.) Thoughts?
