Clean-up
WARNING: Currently, mass deletions of 10.000 entities or more will mess with the renderer. If you plan on participating on the cleanup of Castellán, please have this into account, and NEVER delete more than 10000 entities at once.
If you have any questions about the cleanup or would want to help on it, please write it here below.
Galecia
I would like to volunteer in cleaning-up all of Galecia. –The Cute Chick (talk) 20:55, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
- They're yours to edit. Remember to not delete the admin boundaries (level 6 or higher). Also try not to mess with the multipolygons on the boundaries and keep the cleanup strictly within the borders. I will post some guidelines soon --Martinawa (talk) 20:58, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
Lion
I would like to clean up Lion (and maybe more but it depends on how much time that one will take). Rustem Pasha (talk) 21:15, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
- It's yours to edit. Keep in mind you're bordering a reserved province in the northwest, Carbeyón. That apparently is a bit of genuine mapping, and as such is worth keeping as is. You can read the guidelines here [[1]]. --Martinawa (talk) 22:43, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
- P.S.: I assume you mean Lión *The province*, not the entire region, as that one might be a little too big to start with. If you want a couple more provinces, just tell me. --Martinawa (talk) 22:44, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
- I meant big Lion as the entire region is almost empty. I cleaned Lion *The province* in 10 minutes, inc. downloading. It was 6.6k objects only. It will be the pleasure to wipe out the rest Rustem Pasha (talk) 13:13, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
Astura and Maguériz
With Galecia wiped, I would like to also volunteer doing the the single-province regions of Astura and Maguériz. –The Cute Chick (talk) 07:48, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
Remaining region available for clean-up
I would like to do the rest of the regions available for clean-up, (if @Rustem Pasha is not already assigned them). 👍 –The Cute Chick (talk) 22:04, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
Coastline suggestions
The eastern coastline of Castellán previous to the collab stage resembles too much the real Spanish east coastline shape. For this reason, that section of the coastline will be reworked. If you have any ideas on how to do it, please post them here below.
My proposal:
The changes could be more drastic than this - perhaps turning the entire southern peninsula into islands, among other things. --Lithium-Ion (talk) 02:40, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
I had some ideas for the coastline of Eastern Castellán. All of them involve both a new strait to close the "Mediterranean" sea, and new, bigger islands to form an archipelago.
- Proposal one - Northern strait:
- Keep and expand the Mariola Islands from its current position
- Make a strait into the "Mediterranean" in the position of current Escuderos, Takora.
- Keep the Murica peninsula, making it narrower and more prominent (or maybe open it up into an island?)
- Proposal two - Southern strait:
- Cede the Mariola Islands off the territory, creating instead a new, bigger archipelago where Catania used to be.
- Reposition the Murica peninsula further north, making a strait into the Mediterranan next to the Franquese exclave near Vaucargue, Lustria
- Proposal three - Double straits:
- Make the two straits proposed above, although less narrow
- Cede the Mariola Islands, make a new archipelago in the new sea/gulf between the straits
- Keep the Murica cape vestigially
These are rough sketches proposed as concepts and can be discussed further. Personally I like the incorporation of the Mariola Islands on the northern strait alternative. What I definitely have in mind is that Castellán should have bigger islands than it has now, and this is the ideal area for them to be placed.--Martinawa (talk) 18:01, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
- I like all of the proposals but if I remember well the whole point behind Mediterranean Sea was to justify colonisation of other continents by important world powers, namely Franqueterre and Plevia. Marmara or Gibraltar solutions effectively break that plan in pieces. making the Mediterranean functionally similar to the Black Sea. Rustem Pasha (talk) 18:44, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
- I agree with Rustem, the idea was to not have straits between ocean and sea. I wouldnt change the eastern coast too much (I mostly like the shape the country has) just enough to make it not link to the rw Spanish reference. I like Lithiums proposal most, but I wouldnt overdo it with the islands. The thing about Coastellans coastline that bothers me the most is the area around Malgazan (which I would do somewhat like this, the way it initially was before it got changed a few years back to what it is now.) —Stjur (talk) 23:06, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
- I agree that there might be a few too many islands in my plan - I think that those that should be 100% kept if a version of it ends up being accepted would be the southernmost and northernmost groups. The southernmost to continue the island chain in the area - perhaps Martinawa's first idea could be used for those? The northernmost because the Mediterranean is rather lacking in islands that aren't very close to the coast right now, so there's plenty of room to add some interest to the sea. Perhaps the two northernmost islands could be reminiscent and close in size to Menorca and Ibiza. --Lithium-Ion (talk) 01:45, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
- I guess if the idea was to not have straits at all the best course of action from the options I have proposed would be the first one, without the strait, placing the coastline roughly where the current one currently is (maybe even keeping it, that part of the coastline is relatively original as is). --Martinawa (talk) 16:57, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
- Maybe a good course of action would be a merger of your first plan and my plan? Keeping the southern part of yours and the northern part of mine, probably. --Lithium-Ion (talk) 20:44, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
