why don't you go to the foundry where the original thread still exists? not a very hard thing to figure out where to look... you know, they do MAKE the maps in the foundry... and even though it was updated, the original map is still visible there...-0

the colors look like they were done in ms paint, the names of the territs were inaccurate (supposedly, i know nothing of the british isles...), and i think that was it

so they updated it

Indeed this is one case where looking in the foundry does not help, as the links to the original image are gone.

exactly. I got PMed the old classic map b4, so how did samuelc812 get it if it was changed already?

Was that map developed in the time without a foundry?

It must be, because I remember it being much more colorful.

The first 10 maps or so were essentially developed and loaded right away. They might have gotten 4 or 5 total pages of discussion and go through up to 3 drafts, but the foundry was nothing like it is today.

As time passed the standards of the foundry rose dramatically, because some very skilled people made good maps and the quickly loaded maps paled in comparison. That is essentially why most of the original maps have been revamped (with the exception of USA and Europe, which were in the original 3 but were very well done!)

That is the map, but the colors are not quite right. It was richer in color. And the hue is not quite right. But that is the map. 8-)
