Hey mappers!

Recently I got my first territory. The capital city called Valka is located on the small Peninsula on the south coast. Please have a look (Click here for the MAP) and read the text. :D ## First edits:

I have started with a fort on the eastern tip. Colonist have build this Fort after they first arrived. Now it serves as a tourist attraction. Other tourist attractions in near distance are the two beaches, and the fish market a bit north.

Further north is the main railway station, with an editing style where you can “see” the interior, like Gobras world port. The city will develop over time further north.

The city will have a tram network like I started, probably a subway system and in addition a commuter train network like the S-Bahn in Germany.

(The small island south of the coast are only temporary.) ## Airport and north railway station:

The airport and the north railway station were prebuild in Commonia and moved to my territory. I will not touch them soon, but they will be continued to be developed later. ## Next steps:

I will continue to develop the southern part and place some buildings here and there. Because I put much effort into detail work, progress overall is very slow. I will start with an european styled historic city center soon. ## Tips?

What can I do better? What can I add? What should I delete?… Any improvements I can make are very appreciated!! Please give me tips so I can even improve my mapping more!

Thank you guys!

I am the owner of Oketia (Formerly Dejaland) and would like some feedback on my city Marvin. It is the capital of my country and is modelled off of Canberra, Australia’s capital. However, unlike Canberra this will be my country’s most populous city. I have been to Canberra in real life so I have an image in my head of what I want to build. I want to plan my city out with the government area to be structured like the area around Parliament House (Canberra) but more inland have a structure similar to Melbourne like a Metropolis style city. Population in mind for this project is 5 Million People. I understand this is an ambitious project!

I need your feedback

• What did I do well (I personally think I have really detailed the government area but you have a thought about this)
• What I can improve on

Hopefully I can make a super-realistic city and I understand that good mapping comes with practise. Happy Mapping!

Hello! The Spaceport Of Commonia is near completion. It should be finished in one day. Once it is finished, imports from the moon and railway links will be made. Happy flying!

• THIS IS OUTDATED. Due to a huge amount of disgust, the spaceport is going to be expanded. Hate against this expansion will be ignored entirely because Commonia is a FREE COUNTRY.
• GET OOFED.

so i finally found a name for my territory: Sovania.

anyway, i haven’t done much. i have started by making terrain. my plan is to make the South have more Rainforests and make the North have more Towns. all i did was rename it, and add the Lakeside rainforest. That’s All For Now, Folks!

Maybe like a video tutorial, showing how to make a town, city, hill, mountain, or other things. It would make sense because most of the new mappers don’t usually read the wiki or apply any of the tips to their mapping, like I also did when I started out mapping, and probably still do. If we got a bunch of video tutorials on it it would actually make the users see the mapping style the person in the video uses to make realistic things.

I don’t really know if this would be a possibility, but it will be cool if it was

Vivion, one of my companies, is willing to sell rocket engines for intercontinental missiles and possibly a Quantum Splitter to zhenkang for his launch/nuclear site in Antigo. We would like to know where his site is stationed.

Hello everyone,

This is a question about the CONCEPT, not the MAPPING QUALITY (yet).

I asked kaanhanel, the user in charge of mapping Elmali, if Leresso and Elmali could have a sort of “cultural collision zone” where the Everian and Turquese languages and cultures collide. In Everian, it is known as Xéstohyàlarés. In Ingerish, it is known as West River Territory. I definitely think, for the sake of verisimilitude, that more areas like Xéstohyàlarés should exist in the OGF world.

What do you guys think of this small-scale collaboration concept? Any advice for kaanhanel and I moving forward in terms of developing the history of the region and mapping?

I appreciate the feedback!

I’m planning on naming it the Lia Republic after a tranditional lianese flower that is a status symbol to long lasting happiness. I’ve created a Lianese language on Conworkshop here I’ve been looking at Orano for a bit and seeing what territory there would fit the lia republic.

so i recently got my new territory. its ID is AR054, however, i have not decided on a name yet. so is there any tips you have? also, i have been reading the wiki too.

thanks, DMP5

Hello everybody, my last diary entry was quite a while ago, and a lot has been going on since.

I left my island this week, because I was feeling a bit claustrophobic in it, but I kept some of my work I cared for.

I merged the work I did on my ex-capital and another city to create Sedina, that will be the second biggest city of Vilvetia. To help merge all the parts I transfered, that nearly all had a coastline before, I dabbled with the idea of a delta, with the rivers branches creating the “border” I needed to blend them with one another.

Vilvetia will be quite forested and mountainous in the south-east, with the exeception of one or two valleys that would be drained by a big rivers, and that would have become quite populated as it would be a route to Ascot, my eastern neighbor. The coasts would be quite populated as well, and a lot of the country will be farmlands or Jungle, as the mountains would retain most of the water inside Vilvetia

I will try to post here more often, if the occasion arises, but until then, Happy mapping everyone

I thought about space and OGF and the moon, and i made a handcrafted OGF-Earth with the Moon and the Sun, and i have some proposals for planet names:

1. Carmentis (Mercury IRL)
2. Hephaesdus (Venus IRL)
3. Earth - or the Terra
4. Nemesis (Mars IRL)
5. Iris (Jupiter IRL)
6. Minerva (Saturn IRL)
7. Augustus (Uran-us IRL)
8. Poseidon (Neptune IRL)
9. Bonus (Pluto IRL)

Found this. I’m sure the admins were doing this at the beginning of ogf then forgot it

So i’ve always wondered, how is the topograhic projections made in TopoMap? Many differerent territories have this beautiful projections and it makes me kinda envious.

How do you do it, and is it hard?

Is JOSM required, or is it available for ID?

Hello, I am going to start building a spaceport named “Spaceport Of Commonia,” but before I do, I need to ask you a question. How many moons do you think the world of OGF has? First 2 people to respond to this get a rocket named after them in the spaceport.

Btw, when the pole ends, the number with the most votes wins.

Archanta has been flooded with water? I have recently shifted my nation’s coastline, only by about 10 meters to add more detail. I am wondering what causes the floods. I don’t want to cause this again. I am wondering if it was me that caused this? How do I change the coastline without flooding?

Hello there! I just recently started a city and came up with a company called “Nexus Inc.” Comment one of your city’s names to this entry if you want the trademark building in that city. The first 5 people will have a direct railway from the imports building of the coming soon Spaceport of Commonia connected to their city. Happy building!

Signed, TheIlluminix.

P.S. My new city’s name is New Cryopticon. Coordinates for Nexus Inc. HQ building are stated.

Hello all. On the tropical island of Tanay, I want to ask you whether the mountain range/forest cover that I put there is realistic at all for such an island. I’m not quite familiar with land formations, and want to start off realistically rather than having to change this at a later point in time, which is why I ask this of you.

Thank you!

I would just like to let you know I have changed my username, and I made this post to prevent confusion. I am the owner of Oketia. For those of you wondering, I used inspect element to change my name officially. I prefer this username to my old one.

Thanks for reading, and if you have any questions or comments about how I changed the username, don’t be afraid to comment :)

  Before I get started the Mostock Area Project just west of Hybrid Springs has been both fun and stressful.  I know what shape I want  these areas to be but I literally struggle with naming areas and roads. And yes, I have resorted to the real world for help. 
 One of the biggest rules of Opengeofiction is to always have a creative name, but I struggle in that department. I have always liked designing maps that probably would never come to life but at that stage I could imagine the name of roads and what the shield would look like, But recently it has all been coming to a halt. And here's a few examples of the real world coming to my OGF mapping.

Route A1A, Mostock, Watamak, Commonia: Surrey St. In real life, Surrey St serves as a spur route to LA 728 in Lafayette, LA.

Route 339, Loxley, Watamak, Commonia: Chemin Agreadable RD. In real life, Chemin Agreadable serves as the SPUR Route for LA 339 in Youngsville, LA.

Route 99, Slavuytch, Watamak, Commonia: Caffery St. Otherwise in the real world as Ambassador Caffery PKWY (LA 3073) in Lafayette Parish, LA.

Route 89E and onward, Mostock and Slavuytch, Watamak, Commonia: Kaliste Saloom Rd. Serves as unsigned LA 3095 in Lafayette, LA.

Loxely: Name based off of Loxely, Alabama. Slavutych: Name based off of Slavuytch, Kyiv Oblast, Ukraine. Volga: River in Russia. Duga: Radar in the Chernobyl Zone……

I could go on and on, but the list would be the longest thing ever. If you have any comments, Go right ahead, I am open to criticism and we are all friends here….

21.965, 149.7196 …. These are the cords for the area, Enjoy the orderly chaos that is this region

So I have been brainstorming about names for my country, by I am finding it really hard. If you want, please leave a name suggestion below. The winner gets a town named after them in my country! Thanks.
