good job man.

First of all, great job, i ve been awaiting for that one for some time, as all French CC members i believe.

For the sake of correctness and consistency, I would just like to give you some comments on wording, so that hopefully you can make it perfect :

Continent names
- Pyrenees continent shall definitely be renamed "Aquitaine", as "Pyrenees" is only the the name of the mountain chain separating Spain and France.
- Alps continent shall be renamed "PACA" (standing for Provence-Alpes-Cote d'azur)

Spelling mistakes
- Loire-Atlantic shall be renamed "Loire-Atlantique"
- Cote d'Armor shall have a terminal "s" : Cotes d'Armor (unlike Cote d'Or which is a single coast)
-Lozerre has only one "r" : Lozere.
- Alps => Alpes

Consistency and aestethic
- Vienne is ok, but quite administrative. Given the borders you made, "Poitou" would be much nicer and accurate
- Same for Haute-Vienne. "Perigord" would sound so much nicer.
- ...... Doubs => Jura
- ....... Var => Provence
- ....... Paris => Ile-de-France
- ....... Pyrenees (territory) => Pays Basque
- ....... Aude => Languedoc
- ....... Cher => Berry
- ....... Corsica => Corse
- ....... continent "Burgondy => Bourgogne
- ........continent "Britanny" is wrong, even in English i think it shall be Britain. In French : Bretagne
- ........ continent "Picardy" => Picardie, but "Nord" would be quite more appropriate given your boundaries
- Charente would be nicer with an "s", as your boundaries include both Charentes, the Charente, as well as the Charente-maritime. You can also use "Angoumois", which is the traditional name for this area.

I did not mention mistakes due to the lack of accent in english language, but if you are willing to, i can help you correct that too.

Cheers and thx again for your work

Tom

As it has been done on the BeNeLux map, I would find nice if you could just put the right names in french all over the map!
I do like english but I also appriciate when my own one is respected !

for "contries":

Loire Atlantique
Alpes
Corse

and for "continents":

Picardie
Bretagne
Bourgogne
Alpes

I agree, it is a about respect

I agree that these mistakes should be rectified. There are quite a lot!

Pity that there was no native French speaker that pointed them out during the foundry process.

The artist on this map has been banned from the forums... so I suspect that it ain't gonna happen!!

Ouch. That sucks. Now we're stuck with the spelling mistakes. Revamp anyone?

DiM · Post by **DiM** » Sat Apr 19, 2008 10:07 am

kyle has indeed been banned from the forums but that is no relevance as he can still update the map and have somebody else post it.

Good idea. Can someone contact him then?

pamoa · Post by **pamoa** » Wed Apr 23, 2008 12:25 pm

i'm working on a proposal for a new map!
all in french with proper names and a better geographical coherence!
how can i show it to the "world" !
where can i put it on the site ?

Balsiefen · Post by **Balsiefen** » Wed Apr 23, 2008 1:20 pm

Interesting. I'm sure you'll get a lot of mixed support

Map ideas would be the place to start.

I actually just got an email from him, un-related to this map, but he mentioned that he was going to ask lackattack to take the map down from CC. He says its because of his "hatred for CC".

Haha. Well maybe someone would do an even better map of France if he did that!

Why all this bitterness?

He got permanently banned, I'm pretty sure
