Urban Mapping

This is part of the project for the Collab of the Month, September 2022

After the Regional mapping for the first province has been decided and mapped (congratulations to Bixelkoven!), we will move to the urban mapping of the area. This is the system we will use for the mapping of towns and cities in the area:

Before starting on the urban breakdown, I'd reccomend to use this resource to try and make an idea of what do you want your Castellan city to look like.

IMPORTANT: For organisation purposes, please specify which town of city you want to map so I can reserve it for you, so we don't end up having several people mapping on a single town by mistake. Also, do not map before I give you permission to do so. Look at the list of towns and cities assigned below for more details. --Martinawa (talk) 13:11, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

Capital Provincial

It will be mapped collaboratively, and planned in a similar fashion as the province: Submissions will be sent, and a vote will be held. Unlike the regional mapping, though, that was more definitive, this will be focused on the style of mapping that will be carried out in each part of the country, maybe with the definition of some main elements like main roads and similar areas. Afterwards, the city will be mapped in a collaborative fashion, with different parts and stages of the city potentially mapped by different users.

Area to be planned collaboratively

Ciudad importante

These will be mapped at the request of users, but having into account that more than one user can be mapping into such cities, due to their size. Proposals for these cities will be approved at request if they're good enough, and can be mapped right away. They will be featured in the wiki article, in case others want to join the mapping of the city.

Ciudad mediana

These will also require a rough sketch to be approved, but can be mapped by only one person.

Suburbio

Suburbs are secondary centers related to other larger cities. They will be approved with a rough sketch request that makes the relation to the main city clear.

Pueblo importante

Will be approved at request - No plan required.

Pueblo

Will be approved at request - No plan required.

Pueblo menor

Will be approved at request - No plan required.

Assigned towns and cities

• "Pueblo" to BMSOUZA
• "Pueblo Importante" to Martinawa
• "Pueblo Menor" to Brunanter
• "Pueblo Importante" to Kalh79

Castellanese Symbols

This is part of the project for the Collab of the Month, September 2022

Flag of Castellán

Here you can post any ideas you have for a flag for Castellán. You can be as creative as you want, but should also explain the symbolism you decided for the flag. --Martinawa (talk) 14:48, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

Coat of Arms of Castellán

Here you can post any ideas you have for a coat of arms for Castellán. You can be as creative as you want, but should also explain the symbolism you decided for the flag. --Martinawa (talk) 14:48, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

Toponomy Ideas

This is part of the project for the Collab of the Month, September 2022

Here you can send any ideas you might have for toponyms in Castellán. Anything is allowed: Names for mountains, rivers, regions, capes, city names you might find interesting all around the mapped features on the map. Please send a link of the area where you might want the name to be in. --Martinawa (talk) 14:48, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

Natural Mapping

The natural mapping phase of Castellán is ongoing. Anyone who is interested in doing natural mapping of a region with a mediterranean climate, follow the instructions that will be given below.

For better organisation, anyone who wants to map natural features should contact Martinawa for authorisation. In the message, you may show prior work you have done on natural landcover as an indication of your skills.

After you've been given authorisation, you will be given a georreferenced file with the orography sketched (shown below) to use as a base for the natural cover. Before starting landcover you should make a boundary area, with admin_level=4, in the area you want to work on. This might be used in the future for the administrative divisions of the country, so please be creative about it. The area marked should be between 25000 and 50000 square kilometers, roughly. The idea for the landcover is to indicate only non-agricultural landuses: that is: forests, scrubs, bare rock, cliffs, marshes, wetlands, and such. Do not use grass or farmlands, especially in the flatter areas, as these will be dealt with later in the development of the country, after the settlements have been decided. --Martinawa (talk) 22:50, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

Users currently authorised to edit in the country:

• Martinawa ("Región del Sero", Northeast)
• Kalh79 ("Área de Preservación", Northwest)
• Lithium-Ion ("Región Occidental", west)

Users who have contributed to already finshed regions:

• Bixelkoven ("Región del Cabo", southeast)
• Martinawa ("Región Primera", "Región Segunda", "Región Noreste", and "Región del Este", north and northeast.)
• Rustem Pasha ("Región Turquesa", west)

Physical planning

Here we will discuss and suggest what the Castellán physical geography will look like.

As the Cleanup phase is finished for now, I'm going to close off proposals for physical plannings soon as we try to work out the final result. This is a shout-out to give people who have had ideas for coastline and physical geography an opportunity to post their suggestions now, as there's going to be an election of the final physical geography of Castellán soon --Martinawa (talk) 05:06, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

Orography sketch

After seeing all sent proposals and having reflected onto them and adapting to the new coast, I have made some temptative orography for Castellán as a base. The amount of detail shown is because this is procedurally generated (except for the rivers), but all mapping here shouldn't be followed very closely and treated more like a broad idea of what the country is going to be like, as things like scale and detail might just not be right for the size of the country given the features. The general idea, with a western plateau and parallel mountain ranges going roughly east to west, with graben-like plains in between. Placing is mostly inspired on the shape of the coastline. --Martinawa (talk) 01:10, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

How high do you think the tallest mountains would be? Maybe that northern range could have a few noticeable "offshoots" or parallel ridges like the Alps, since it's the southernmost part of a large mountain range similar to them. Otherwise looks really nice, no complaints at all.--Lithium-Ion (talk) 01:20, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

Cleanup

The cleanup phase is now finished. Please head to later sections to know about the state of the collaboration and to know what to do on it. The areas you might see on the map that are not blanked are intentionally so and will be treated specially by the coordinators for now.

The first stage mapping-wise will be the complete clean-up of the mapping of Castellán. All mapping previous to the setting of the collaborative stage is expected to be removed. The only mapping that will be pre-emptively conserved will be whatever is on the border with Mazan, specially land cover that spans both countries. Coastline is not to be changed either yet. --Martinawa (talk) 23:10, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

Many thanks to TCC and Rustem for helping clean up the area. You three have done a great job, and the help is very appreciated! — Alessa _(talk) 15:33, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
