PvP1 Territorial Changes (Updated Monthly)

To chart the expansion and decline of the major powers of the Caribbean, I have decided to publish a map once per month.

137 Neutral

104 Spanish

33 Free Ports

33 British

26 French

12 Pirate

7 American

I think it should be updated weekly, most port battle invasions take two to three days to happen.

 

Particularity right now, the battles for the frontiers of the national empires are starting to begin, there is going to be a bit of port fighting coming soon...

 

While I completely agree, I do not have the confidence that I will always have time to do weekly updates. I'd rather commit to once a month, with the possibility of mid-month updates, than overcommit and not deliver. Either way things go, check back tomorrow for the February 1st update!

32 French

23 Dutch

20 Danish

7 Swedish

 

Sweden has seen a sevenfold increase in territory. The Danes and the Americans growing by a factor of five. The Dutch growth being just shy of four times their modest beginnings. The pirates have nearly tripled in size. Great Britain's port control has risen by 57%. The French are enjoying a 23% increase in territory, despite the loss of their Haitian holdings. The Spanish empire is feeling the pressure of it's neighbors in the Caribbean losing 26% of it's possessions.

Some feedback would be helpful; are the map images clear enough for people? It's difficult to get a good picture of the whole map (or at least the inhabited parts of it) with my current resolution, so I'm considering taking say 4 more zoomed in pictures and stitching them together for more clarity. I like the idea of a timelapse, I might try that once there are enough images for it. 

 

I'll ask again that if there is a Dev or person with an official count of the total number of ports and the number each faction starts with, it would be greatly appreciated. also if this continues getting pinned might be nice, if that's not presumptuous of me to ask. I think this project would be nice to see as the time goes one, and if we had more details demographics of the server population (i.e. 27% of PvP1 playing Britain, 22% Pirate, 17% US, 9% French, etc) to see how well the factions are doing over time relative to their player count.

The images are relatively low quality and as a graphics whore my eyes are bleeding when looking at it. :P

 

Great project! If you need help taking screenies just send me a PM :)

[Minor Update] I have uploaded the map images to Imgur and then linked them which should provide a larger image. The first 2 are still a bit lacking in quality, but the last update is about the max size I can achieve, without the port names appearing and making the map a complete mess. Let me know what you think.

Better quality. Fyi, if you want to have even better  resolution, use .png when you save your picture.

and use  [/img] tag when you post on forum. imgur also has that when you upload your picture. :lol:

It would be nice if the port ownership info with timestamps was made available through a simple API so the map images could be generated and a history kept. It would be great to be able to replay the port changes in an animation months or years in the future and see how things developed over time.

I do eventually intend to make an animated timelapse of the maps I've been making, but alas I'm not the most tech savvy person. 

 

I'm gonna take the lessons I've learned from doing this into the next wipe, whenever that might be.

This is <sorta> available in the game logs, but it requires knowing port #s. I'd be willing to hash it all out and build maps using d3.js (that's my day job) but I don't know which #'s correspond to which port.

Thank you very much. I don't know the port #s either or how to find them, but If I find out I'll message you.

Oh nice info. I am aware of 363 ports (I didn't include Kidd's Harbour and North Inlet) but deliberately left out the secret island because well, you can't see it on the map, so it's not really useful to track. Are there 2 other hidden ports or are they visible on the game map and I miscounted?

 

The number owned versus the number captured it a great detail, thanks!

 

Also how did you get the numbers for the Lord Protectors? I'd love to include this for future updates.
