This was a reward for $20-tier patron Justin Bretschneider!
It's a take on the map from the Codex Alera series by Jim Butcher. Justin gave me free-reign to tweak and play with the map as I saw fit, so I had a great time playing with the main coastline and whipping up all kinds of fun geometry.

For those of you who've commented about how shockingly modern a lot of my history has gotten in the past couple months — what with the Hong Kong, Scotland, and Malta all ramming right up against the early 2000s — this is the latest in a wacky line of videos about wacky modern history.
I chose the topic in part because this video is a c...

This was a reward for $20-tier patron Robert Watson!
It's a very new type of project for me, a map of a city — and a burned out city with little to no historical documentation at that. It was a cool challenge to take on something I'd never done before (my average video map zooms out to over a thousand miles), and I hope ...

There are many, many bad historical movies, and there are a small handful of good historical movies. Gladiator is one of the good ones.

This was a real treat to assemble. Malta had always been that thing that I knew vaguely exists but didn't know anything specific about. It was Sicily's Sicily, just minus the historically ceaseless depression.
But little did I know that there was a little bit of everything wrapped up in this tiny island, the tenth smallest country in the w...

FREEEEDOMMM! — Except not really because Braveheart is trash-garbage and we really need to get with something less blatantly falsified. Like the Outlaw King! That movie is an actually-good movie that's actually accurate to the history. Even Shadiversity thought it was accurate and he's extremely particular about his medieval historical realism...

Highly recommend Copenhagen. It's a city that will keep you busy but there's a lot to love about it.

This reward was made for $20-tier patron MversG.
It's a map of the Netherlands in 1583 under William the Silent, partway through their 8o-year revolution from Spain. The classic Dutch orange and blue really pop on this one, and I think it looks super slick.

This reward was made for $20-tier patron ItsDaddyAJToYou.
It's a fantasy map created by him, and modified with rivers, lakes, mountains, and coloring by me. This was a fun challenge, and I'm even hoping to take some of what I learned to use in future maps for videos!

This reward was commissioned by $20-tier patron Samuel Norling.
It's a map of Pangea styled after old timey maps, with modern nations superimposed — in this world, China glomped southeast Asia and Canada flexed its imperial muscles by taking Greenland.

This was surreal to put together. I set it in my schedule back in mid May after I finished my last China video, and then lo and behold everything started happening at once over in Hong Kong.
So usually I have my nice cushy 500-year gap between the subject of my videos and tangible present-day consequences and OH BOY did I not have that lux...
