to clarify, is this a discord just for Africa maps? Because I'd be interested

It's run by DSfisher and has a little bit of everything but is mainly focused on africa. I'm not sure if its due to your profile settings but I cant dm you for some reason so you might have to start a convo.

@Yanranay I had no idea this resource was here, would have made my 1885 map so much better.
Ah well

The one issue I saw with your fantastic map was the lack of a Maravi Empire.

Since there seems to be renewed interest in the topic I'd like to reopen this thread for people to post.

I dunno if anyone would consider it necroing even without your post, since it's just helpful resources and stuff. Still, looking forward to more contributions here

Yeah I kind of stopped updating this as it pretty tedious to catalogue and upload maps on here, especially considering the rather small upload limit. Due to that I've mostly switched to using discord servers. If you have an account and would like an invite feel free to dm me.
