Very nice. Did he do one for Europa as well?

[Prime Mover]

Some nice maps for Germany/Europe on Pegasus site.  This one rocks though.

[Medicineman]

Very nice. Did he do one for Europa as well?

I think they're working on it, but I'm not quite shure.
But if it's done I should be posting it here(and on Dumpschock too)

Hough!

Very nice. Tell him that was really helpful seeing the progression like that.

[Doc Chaos]

Man, Cali sure got ripped a new one...

The English version is done:

Nice, it really helps to see the progression to SR times.  Very interesting.

One thing that stands out for me is that the Trans-Polar Aleut are sitting on some prime real estate now.  Since there is oil and natural gas trapped in the ice up there, they stand to make a lot of money on energy production.

Wow. Very cool. Thanks guys.

Do you think he'll make any for other continents?

[Medicineman]

I hope so
Europe should be very interesting but also very difficult ,especially the Euro / Balkan Wars

Here is the next animation, this time South America

I guess I should give this a little update:

I produced one additional animation for the Americas after North and South America. The territorial evolution of Middle America:

http://shadowhelix.de/Datei:Animation_Territorialentwicklung_Mittelamerika_englisch.gif

And more recently inspired by the Shadowrun: Hong Kong Kickstarter, the territorial evolution of the Chinese successor states:

http://shadowrun.wikia.com/wiki/File:Territorial_evolution_of_the_Chinese_successor_states.gif


I have some other animations in mind, but so far only drafts. But they might be useful to someone. Eurowars:

This is an interactive world map for the countries that allow sapients citizenship:

In general I have an adaptable world map for this kind of stuff:

http://www.shadowhelix.de/Datei:Weltkartenvorlage_fuer_Modifikation.svg

There is a perl script in the description below that can be used to colour countries in selectively. If somebody is interested I can translate the instructions. Here are two other examples made from this raw map using the script:

One other map I linked to in the Dumpshock version of this thread is a map of Africa:

http://shadowrun.wikia.com/wiki/File:Map_africa.jpg


Most maps I have produced are raw versions though. They are just a base and have to be developed into real maps. If you interested in the topic you can always have a look at the Shadowhelix map portal page with the caveat of it being in German:

http://shadowhelix.pegasus.de/Shadowhelix:Karten

The other caveat is that most of my map stuff will be under some version of the Creative Commons licence with a non-commercial clause. Should be in the description on the page of the file. That is because I based them on the GADM dataset (http://gadm.org). It used to require academic or non-commercial use only. These days all licencing information is gone, so maybe I can relicence the maps. On the other hand who knows what that means. Maybe it's best not to pry.

Really nice stuff lokii, appreciated!

I wrote a guide to Shadowhelix maps for Reddit. Similar to my post above. Anyway what might be of more interest to you, I provided slide decks for my animated maps along with it. You can find them on Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ihmlg5d01gn2bqb/AABpQmMDy5je0GUydH7SSFnwa?dl=0


Thanks AJ.
