Learn more about the map styles

The grey colored map. Cartago is highlighted in white. This color scheme is similar to silver styled maps, but compared to the latter, a darker shade of gray is used.

This map is enhanced with hill-shading. Hillshading creates a three-dimensional effect that provides a sense of the landscape relief even on a flat map image. Shadows drawn on a map simulate the effect of sunlight over the surface of the land.

What does single color outside mean? This means that all areas outside the borders of Cartago are filled with a single solid color. This helps to visually separate the main region from the outside countries and regions.

A map projection is a way how to transform points on a Earth to points on a map. This 3D map uses Plate Carree projection, a simple variant of the equidistant cylindrical projection originated in the ancient times. The parallels and meridians are equally spaced, they together form equally sized squares over the entire world map.

Using simple grid, where each cell has the same size and shape, brings in significant benefits. For comparison, the detailed maps of Cartago use Mercator projection instead. The Mercator projection preserves the shapes and angles of small areas better, but on the other hand, it significantly distorts the size of areas.
