So after my long absence from map making in WarLight (mainly due to map making in YouTube instead), I have returned. I'm sorry I just left before without giving a proper explanation, but alas, I'm back now and am working on some new stuff.

Currently, I'm working on a map of the Old World in the year 1045, just as the Seljuq armies are raging across the Middle East towards a resurgent Byzantine Empire. I've purposely made the territories in the Levant match the borders of the Crusaders states established in the 1090s where I can, so it should be fun to role-play the Byzantine retreat and subsequent Call to Arms by Pope Urban II in 1095, triggering the Crusades. It extends as far as China in the east, making game play pretty extensive and hopefully more enjoyable.

Here it is so far: https://www.warlight.net/Play?PreviewMap=55217

If you're interested in testing, just let me know, and I'll add you to the list.

YES ME.

Also, please place a link to your channel. I'd like to see some of the videos.

It's a shame you discontinued your other map (can I say what it is or is it still secret?).

I'm willing to test.

Thanks for helping with the map's development.

And the link is here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6gNjP1W4FXWExT5QpYkmhQ

your maps are some of my favourite, sign me up for testing

Here is some information for anyone else interested in the events this map is centered (literally) on: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byzantine%E2%80%93Seljuq_wars

I would like to test, my friend.

YES OLLIE IS BACK

I would love to test it.

I would like to test it

@Жұқтыру: Yeah, I've abandoned all my maps that haven't been published. They were one of the reasons I stopping making maps on WarLight, all the remaining ones were just overwhelming me. It was a necessary sacrifice.

Me. Me.

Awesome. I'd love to test it

A territory in Bavaria looks a lot like an eagle :)

That's you?

You're Ollie Bye?

Wow... I mean... wow.

Your history of the world map, I've watched it at least 15 times. And your German states... I can't believe it

You're probably rivaling with EmperorTigerstar for best history mappers on Youtube.

Perhaps a game of Warlight on your channel would be fun?

Can confirm, zxctycxz is ollie bye. He is the second best videomapper in subscribers, only tigerstar is ahead.

@Tchaikovsky Reborn: Yeah, I'd be up for that.

PS: EmperorTigerstar and I know each other quite well, there's a big Skype chat with all the YouTube mapping people on it.

There's a series of statstics about both of our channels, as well as many others, here: http://videomaps.webs.com/charts

Wow...

How much better can today get?

Next you'll tell me you play EU4...

I'm afraid I don't, I've heard a lot of good things about it though.

It's fun.

BTW, I posted some suggestions to your April video

Oh okay, what's your YT name?
