Bro literally tortured himself drawing the mess that is the HRE.

I love how this big change was started by a small problem in the Balkans.

[x_Aria]

To really hammer out the Ottoman's color, I'd advise making the Ottomans a maroon like shade of red post 1839 (Edict of Gülhane) to differentiate the pre-reform Ottomans from Tanzimat Era. Before the Tanzimat changed, the Ottomans were much more focused on Islam, more traditionally depicted as green, while during the Tanzimat focus changed to reform, and the Fez became a symbol of modernity. So pre Tanzimat they should remain green, but during the Tanzimat up to their fall they should be red.

It also helps with the overcrowding of greens that begins after Italian unification and Bulgarian independence.

The Ottomans pre-1839 definitely could still be red, but I feel that green fits them nicer.

Now this is what i like to call dutch engineering

Bulgaria changed everything. Common Bulgarian W!

11:34 my respect for you has grown ten-fold
i drew the entire mostly realistic HRE one time for a map project, and it was PAIN(it was the HRE circa 1450)

This is extremely relatable haha
I spent about two or three months trying to make my maps look good, starting from my original white map with very sloppy borders, to the thing I have today
Colors are something I am still experiementing with, but overall I think I am pretty good! I love your colors too and the idea that anyone can use the map easily is something I also try to follow to make video production effective
The Bulgarian question was something I also had trouble with, and I settled with Russia being yellow as it looks better for my map, however the solution you got is equally good! Overall, your map is lovely and I can't wait to see it used in future videos!

"It was a work in progress, so some mistakes exist like Norway."
I know what he meant but how he phrased it is just so much funnier.

[Bourbie]

nice to see you incorporate yourself into the videos more, you look good bro.

[Dedelblute]

Honestly having little city indicators would be nice. During war segments it can be kinda vague where important objectives are, so having cities would make it easier to tell.

[Waddleboom]

Hey, love your content and it's great to see that you're taking steps to improve your videos' quality further. A small suggestion would be that whilst brush size 7 looks better for country borders, 9 could look more pleasing for the coastlines. I think this could be a good compromise, given the community's apparently split sentiments on the issue.

[BasicallyBaconSandvichIV]

I spontaniously applaused when you showed the detailed HRE! Great job Boiyo!
Also, thank you for putting the maps in the description! Now I can use it to easily create my trademarked Giga-HibernoDutchUnion! You're honestly a real legend! I really love all the stuff you've made & done, and I'm really glad I've subscribed to your channel!

[Emperor_Creeper]

Great new map! this classic simple map projection holds a special place in my heart, keep up the wonderful work! 💚

[Goldenroses]

and almost 1 year later he is re-redesigning the Europe map to be MASSIVE

[Bryzerse]

This is hilarious it's exactly what I did with the maps I used to design. Thinning borders, better islands, more serious colours, etc. I think one of the things that drew me to your channel is how it reminded me of those old fashioned ms paint maps. Regardless, massive improvement in my opinion, great work! #ph

[winksatfriend]

Not gonna lie, the part of the thumbnail where every country in Europe looked absolutely pissed made me laugh way more than I should’ve.

[cookie_jar]

I would love to see more stuff like this. I wanna make alternate history content and your style is almost exactly what I want to make
