6:24 Not only are the borders absolutely abysmal, but the range map for the ANIMAL IT'S TALKING ABOUT is completely wrong! You can notice that the _indian_ gaur is noticeably vacant from INDIA

[@hithedragon7842]

Looking at the habitat map on Wikipedia, it looks like they layered the map wrong, and the distribution range is supposed to be smaller. I think the v shaped part over Arabia is supposed to be in India, and the part over China/Second Russia is supposed to be in southeast Asia. Seems like the whole thing is just a photoshop disaster.

I love how Paradox Games set the colors for countries on the map like Russia being Green (or bright red if U.S.S.R.), France being dark Blue, Spain yellow, Italy bright green, and so on.

[@Matthy63]

i think red Britain / blue France at least is quite a bit older than Paradox Games but I couldn't say exactly how old

[@Matthy63]

I guess with blue France or blue any country really you run into the issue of "can't be confusingly blue if the water is also blue" but I've definitely seen it before that, eg on textbook maps of Berlin congress Africa - red Britain, blue France, yellow Spain for sure, then grey Germany or Belgium, green Portugal or Italy (I feel like I've seen both but not within the same map). Or textbook maps of Napoleonic wars-era Europe even. And I mean, I'm not that old but also I definitely went to school before 2014.

[@Septimus_ii]

From what I can tell Britain/England being Red (or pink on most printed maps) and France being blue goes back many centuries

[@thevenbede767]

All of these are older than paradox

[@Vmac1394]

The colors are generally due to the colors soldiers wore e.g. the British were known as redcoats.

[@oofoof4875]

the red splotches in the sea in the map at 7:00 are because they did not overlay the range of the gaur correctly. i did not know the range of it, but i looked it up since he mentioned the spots in the sea, and then i thought it was suspicious that a cow apparently lived in the arabian desert, and i realized that splotch was kind of shaped like india, and the other one in the middle kind of looked like burma.

[@goldenfiberwheat238]

6:54 that’s what happened with time ghosts map of axis held territory in January 1945. The map is mostly perfect but they accidentally moved the lakes and rivers layer really far to the west. The Volga river flows from Leningrad to the Black Sea. The Great Lakes are in Montana. Lake Ladoga is in the center of Finland. Lake bikal is in the wrong spot but I don’t know enough about that region to say where it is. I didn’t even know it was in the wrong spot until they pointed it out. Also, unrelated to that, for some reason part of East Prussia (specifically the modern borders of what is now the exclave of Kaliningrad) is part of the Baltic Sea

[@brettd2308]

I'm honestly glad about this. The first few Horrible Maps videos were great, but over time I felt the same way you did - it seemed like a lot of the maps being featured were either intentionally bad or just really nitpicky, which deviated from what I thought was the original goal of highlighting bad educational material. I also love the shift towards looking at better maps and bringing more attention to positive work, versus the more typical youtube thing of focusing on negative things.

When I was a kid in school, I always got bored and spent the entire class drawing maps at the side of pages of books/notebooks. I drew all sorts of maps: real ones, fantasy, political, climate/vegetation, etc. I did it so many times, that I can draw Europe by hand, with precise shapes and proportions, just out of instinct alone. Needless to say, I enjoyed this series, because it legitimately bothers me that paid, professional map sketchers can come up with such monstrosities.

[@StuffandThings_]

Hey Tigerstar, here's a quick suggestion for some more map related content that I'd desperately love to see: Climate stuff! (no, I don't just mean climate change, there's so much more to climate beyond just what's changing and it sadly tends to get overshadowed). Yes, I know Geodiode does a lot of that stuff, but its such a broad topic you could go on for ages about it. Everything from how climate has influenced culture, to various ways of categorizing climate (hardiness zones, Holdridge life zones, Trewartha climate classification, Koppen climate classification) and their benefits and drawbacks, some of the places that you wouldn't expect to be climatic analogues, climate anomalies like very high latitude tropics or the South Atlantic's lack of hurricanes, coral reef distribution, cloud forests, etc. I've spent years scrounging various maps of climate stuff that I could find from time to time and it always just absolutely sucks me in. Its so incredibly beautiful, complicated, fascinating, and at times a little esoteric. Absolutely deserves a series!

[@greed0599]

7:10 The double russia and splotches thing could be a printing error. Sometimes something that looks like its fine on the computer is scaled differently than the sheet youre printing to, and if all the elements arent merged to the same layer it can cause it to print funky, moving elements to different areas to fit on the page. I could see the double russia just being a redundant layer with russia on it that the artist never bothered deleting because it was perfectly lined up with the real russia, for instance
