Very cool! Have you considered adding landmarks like cities? Or maybe just a selection of little icons that you could place. Holy sites, historic battles, ports, forts that kind of thing? Even if it's just for headcannon. You'd suddenly have a nifty and easy-to-use mapmaking software. The DnD crowd is always looking for that stuff.
Maybe connected to the cards, like a "place city" card or "place religious site" card? Also a sandbox mode would be nice to make it more useable as a mapmaking tool.
Okay, nvm... SO MANY SPLITS!?! I JUST WANT NICE BORDERS AHHHHHH!!! ... Maybe have more options? Like you can draw more than one card to play? That way we can avoid splitting one nation 5 times in a row... Also, I encountered a glitch that caused a whole nation to get dusted by clicking union their self.
This reminds me of a game we used to play with my brother as kids. We basically took a sheet of paper, preferably a big one, and started drawing random continents and islands with rivers, lakes, mountains etc. Then each of us picked a spot for his capital city, from which we would draw roads, in turns, about 1 cm at a time. Or we could found a new city in places reached by roads, which would take 2 turns. Apart from roads we could also establish sea routes in the same way and reach new lands overseas. Wherever we came close to each other, we would draw a border. I think we could also 'upgrade' cities, which meant making the dot on the map bigger 😛 We created all these rules from scratch and called it 'The Senseless Game', as there wasn't really any way to win or lose, neither was the expansion restricted by any economic rules. The goal was simply to make a cool looking map with our nice little empires on it. The only restriction was drawing our stuff in turns, so neither of us would expand faster than the other. It was like 20 years ago or more, yet I still have fond memories of our little game and still remember all these rules. Maybe even some of our maps still survived stashed away somewhere.
Nice to see that I can do now in game what I used to do with pencil and paper. :) One thing I would recommend is to make borders between countries sharper, as sooner or later we will create many nations and some of them might get colors that are rather similar. Maybe you could make it so that border of territory is a line that uses color that no country can paint in (players could select what that color would be) to make it more clear? Also, I've noticed that if we use Unite card on the country we draw it for, that country will stay on the map, but will no longer be selectable. Plus, it would be great, if the strength of Expansion cards depended on the size of selected nation. It's a bit tiring having to use several Large Expansion cards just to conquer country one fifth of the size of my nation.
not even an hour into it and im having a blast. at the start there was a big empire, then there was a huge uprising, and in the heat of the civil war BOTH SIDES have their own civil wars. and all that tension in the alps
There is a major issue with it. I consistently got 20 splits in a row, MANY times. Could you add an option to refuse a card? It's extremely aggravating.
This looks cool af, I really like the map detail and the whole premise seems pretty cool. I wish you the best of luck with this, hoping it pans out cause I'd certainly be down to play.
okay, i just played it and i think it's good, got to turn 139 and just began making up all sorts of crazy historical events in my head as the game went on. i do think there's some issues with gameplay, but the game's in alpha so i don't mind that much. one thing i'd like to see is the ability to trade a union card for an expansion or new nation one. also, more freedom with drawing land; such as an eraser and a finalise button to decide when you're finished painting borders.
Unless i'm missing a feature it would be really nice to be able to make the brush size smaller because sometimes i want to make a border exactly on the river and it just goes over.
I'm definitely planning on making a map for the entire Earth, but that is a big time commitment, so I'm probably gonna save it for when I release the full finished game
Would be awesome to be able to skip a card, or have a sandbox mode where you can pick which card you get. Very cool though. Lag gets pretty bad far in though
The concept certainly has potential, but I feel like there will eventually need to be a mechanic to balance the RGN of the cards. I feel like a game with all luck and no skill does get stale faster. What mechanic would that be? I'm not entirely sure. It'd have to be something that fits with the political aspect of the game, isn't random, but still preserves the games simplistic concept, depending on if you want to keep the game simple or not
hello do you have a guide to downloading the game? I'm not entirely sure what to do to download it and get it running, having a lot of issues in that department
You should be able to download the zip file on my itch.io page in the description, and then unzip it by right clicking on it and hitting extract. You should then be given a regular unzipped folder with the game inside it. Hope that helps
Oh uhh I'm not sure. Whatever the trackpad equivalent of a scroll is maybe. I can definitely add some keyboard shortcuts for zooming in and out in the next update tho too lol
Wow this is a cool game, I'm really interested and want to play it but unfortunately I'm using a phone so I guess I'll stick to watching the gameplays instead, still I like the concept of the game and would definitely watch how your game going to update in the future through the videos.
There's currently 5 maps in the game, and this is just the mediterranean map. I do plan to make an entire Earth map as well as others for the full game whenever I get to that point in development
Very interesting concept! Looks like I wasn't the only one that liked to draw fictional nations on pieces of paper when bored as a kid.
I'm still doing this
I did it on MS paint lol
@@GastropodGaming2006same haha
I'm 18 I still do this haha your not alone bro
@@fredelboricua_5676 holy shit a fellow puerto rican
Are you telling me that mapping just got easier than ever?
Holy smokes, absolute game changer on mapping.

you could code something to prevent the same card from being drawn twice in a row that was its more randomized
or have it possible but at a really low chance
Beautiful concept! Imagine how much people will use this for mapping videos!

I have been waiting years for this type of game to come out and you have done it! I love the idea and the way its implemented!
You are a very awesome human. Thank you for this gift to mankind.
Love the idea, cant wait to see how this turns out
i’ve just played the game I think it has great potential
not even an hour into it and im having a blast. at the start there was a big empire, then there was a huge uprising, and in the heat of the civil war BOTH SIDES have their own civil wars. and all that tension in the alps
I loved doing this as a kid!
Map painting taken to the extreme
downloaded!! this game looks like a lot of fun, seems to have plenty of potential
There is a major issue with it. I consistently got 20 splits in a row, MANY times. Could you add an option to refuse a card? It's extremely aggravating.
This is actually pretty damn cool, I'm excited to see how it develops.
VERY COOL!!! I'll be sure to enjoy this!!!
This looks cool af, I really like the map detail and the whole premise seems pretty cool. I wish you the best of luck with this, hoping it pans out cause I'd certainly be down to play.
this is so cool! hopefully more mappers will learn about it
Would love to see this on steam! Maybe?
update: just played this game and its amazing!
Very fun and interesting concept. I think it will take off quickly, this could get to the same level of Ages of Conflict if Drew Durnil plays it
That's the dream
Ages of conflict but you could play as one of the nations instead of just looking at them?
as someone who loves worldbuilding fictional nations and worlds, i would love to play this.
okay, i just played it and i think it's good, got to turn 139 and just began making up all sorts of crazy historical events in my head as the game went on.

This is awesome! Keep it up!
Drew durnil needs to play this
What the hell? The most underrated guy on the platform, you've got yourself a well deserved sub
Unless i'm missing a feature it would be really nice to be able to make the brush size smaller because sometimes i want to make a border exactly on the river and it just goes over.
the numbers on the bottom set the size to the brush
This looks really neat!
Really cool! Can't wait to see where this is going
This looks fucking awesome
jsut downloaded, seems liek a cool concept, been looking for somethin like this for a long time.
i can play this instead of doodling maps on my school assignments lol
could you please add a whole earth map? I think pcs would handle it and it would be awesome :D
I'm definitely planning on making a map for the entire Earth, but that is a big time commitment, so I'm probably gonna save it for when I release the full finished game
Needs an endgame timelapse for sure 👍
I’m not
The only
One! Thank you bro this is hype!
great game, has lots of potential
Very cool! Will it have a timelapse sort of mode where you can go back through the world's turns and see how it changed over time?
That is a feature I plan to add in the future
This would be dope in multiplayer
Looks really good ngl
this is so cool! i love it
Would be awesome to be able to skip a card, or have a sandbox mode where you can pick which card you get. Very cool though. Lag gets pretty bad far in though
I played it today and here is my feedback:
It's really fun! Only slight problem I have is that long ruler and nation names don't show up on the menu
This looks sick 🥹
Hey! I'm a worldbuilder, and do that here on YT, if you post updates I'll be sure to throw it to my subscribers in a community post!
would like to see some sfx and bg music
hold up.. his cooking is this fire???
Would there be a way to make ur nation power infinite or nah
This looks very cool, wow
This looks fire, damn, can't wait for it to get out
THIS IS PERFEEEEEECT!!!
we need Adizz Pro to play this fr
Game looks really cool, can't wait to see it develop further 🙂🙂
This is really cool! I would suggest to have it so you don’t have to click the select button after every card though card you draw.
Great game concept!
Please make a world map, like a map that encompasses the entire world
I just played it and ive had a blast with it so far
This is Masterpiece🔥
You have just made my life easier
Great looking game, but dude, just please change that font
looks really cool
This looks fun.
Awesome saucesome
Sounds cool!
Amazing! You will be one of the select few to have notifications turned on.
Looks promising!
Looks really cool!

how do I create a seperate nation from the original? I had a glitch where I only had one nation and it pulled the merge card that deleted everything

@@PaleTanTan okay, I was able to find the a folder "MacOs" in the "contents" folder, but I cannot run the game, what program do I use to run the game?
Just got the game and I always have this issue but uh
How do I zoom in/out?
(Forgot to say but I don't have a mouse)
Oh uhh I'm not sure. Whatever the trackpad equivalent of a scroll is maybe. I can definitely add some keyboard shortcuts for zooming in and out in the next update tho too lol
would my 99 dollar phone blow up if i load this in

@@DashingHunter I plan on making a series of me just playing through it for fun, so you’re in luck
@@PaleTanTan Yeahh, I'm definitely watching the series
You think there will be a full world map at some point?
Can you make a online one were each person hase there own nation?
THIS IS SO COOL! Is it gonna be a strategy-based game or just a doodle thing?
Looks cool
this is going to get soooo many hours
will you expand the map?
There's currently 5 maps in the game, and this is just the mediterranean map. I do plan to make an entire Earth map as well as others for the full game whenever I get to that point in development
nice game hope i can play it someday
this have potential
Love it!!!
When can we expect a demo?
You can download the free demo on my itch.io page in the video description
Are the cards you get based on the traits of the leader? For instance if a leader is an expansionist, does that leader get more large expansion cards?
@@flankempire5572 No, but I do plan to implement something like that
@@PaleTanTan I would also love the ability to found cities, been playing this for a few hours and I'm hooked
In this universe would Bulgaria have eastern Thrace?
If you want it to lol
Cool!
YES
Nice game
You should make some maps pay and also have ads every minute or so. Maybe in the future, you could make it pay. I think 20 dollars is a fair amount.
Cool, i subbed
That's cool
I downloaded the game for Mac, but it keeps saying it can't open. Any ideas?
does accidentally drawing in water take expansion points away?
No
Would it be too much of a hassle to compile it for linux as well?
It does seem to work through wine, but native is always better
Make it mobile! Game sounds great!
This looks soo cool but I'm on Mac! 😭
I think it should work on Mac, but I just don't have a Mac to confirm if it does or not lol
Or wait no, I'm a dumb dumb. I will be adding a Mac build next update!
i clicked on the download it doesnt work like it brings me to word
will it be available on mac?
@@Testiwiwiwiw2453 I don’t have a Mac to test it on, but it should theoretically work on Mac
Forget what I just said. I'll be adding a Mac build next update lmao
literal map painting
