Switzerland's color should probably altered — as it stands right now, it's too confusable as an Italian puppet state...
It's also just ugly af and I think that's reason enough to change it
What version of the projector are you using? After 3.04 they made some changed to how some projectons (namely robinson) are framed so the newer versions are not aligned to HEART, for HEART only JAVA 9 or higher is required.
Most maps here I saw use some pale blue grey which had the same effect but for France.
Yeah, but it fits more than very light lime green. It's just not associated with Switzerland. Maybe some dark grey red? Or light grey red
I am at least okay with Switzerland's green colour, I quite like it. I don't mind it being changed, but I neither mistake it for an Italian puppet state nor for some kind of Caliphate.
Unless speaking about the Netherlands no country on earth has a single national colour, so what colour map makers give countries on a map is completely arbitrary. As such I have arbitrarly made Switserland lime green on my map.
As I said before please feel free to pick whatever colours of your licking on your own HEART maps but let's not delve into arguments over what colour is naturally assiciated with a country because there are very few that self identify with a singular colour
5# Patch for HEART addon:
- All of Italy

- All of Spain
(ofc without colonies for now)
- All of Persia

Also a question: how should I visualize Russian and British spheres of infuence in Persia? And should I? Or just leave it without visualisation?

Superb work! With a 1914 map and patches from other years, we can easily cover the 20th century with HEART-style maps, which will be immensely helpful. Also, I hope somebody finds Bulgarian administrative divisions, but I think you should continue even without them, e.g. on the Ottoman Empire, China, the Raj, colonised Africa, etc.
Thanks! I think I'll easily done with Ottoman Empire in couple days (or today💀), but China, Raj and Africa I can do only without administrative divisions, because it's very hard to find them, especially China, mostly because of projection of China's territory in wikipedia and other resources. It is always the same everywhere
You could probably ask @Linbot for some help; they're skilled in this regard.
Dude this is amazing! It feels really great to see HEART is already being used to make such maps keep them coming!
As for the spheres of influence I think its really up to you if you want to show them or not.
I like the third version the most, followed by the second one.
