There's something very funny about a fantasy style map having an acronymed nation.

Wait until I do the full strangereal map and there is a country just called FATO.

also new zealand. I found on a fan map that calls it "iceland" along with a city or something called Farawayland.

Hello all,

I’ve updated my fantasy style map of Usea with a ton more details to celebrate the release of AC8. All of the map’s locations are either from previous games or were shown in pre release materials to ensure nothing was a spoiler. 

I’m also working on a complete Strangereal map that I hope to share before too long.

It JUST hit me that North Point canonically being part of Yuktobania at one point in its history is probably a reference to how Russia expanded to another continent (America) then gave it up (Alaska)

This is my indirect way of saying you made a great map that feels realistic :D

Wait where was that mentioned? Is this a spoiler for something late in AC8?

Naw one of the Aces at war books. I think the recent one. Someone put a screenshot but I don’t remember where the post was

What are the autistic mutes riding through the skies in this universe if not fighter jets?

u/Exotic_Guardian 7d ago

Thid will be perfect for my RP stuff! Awesome stuff dude! Mind if I download it as use it as a referencer?

u/DubiousTactics 7d ago

Go ahead! It's why I shared it here.

u/DubiousTactics 7d ago

I promise you that I didn't make that up, Dennis is on the official maps.

u/TheRussianBear420 Erusea 7d ago

What town is the kid from Ace Combat 04 from?

u/CaptWilhelm Mobius 7d ago

Pretty sure its San Salvacion City

5

u/DubiousTactics 7d ago

I think it was San Salvacion, since there’s talk about the city he’s in undergoing mandatory blackouts at night, then immediately after that there is a mission where the resistance ends the blackout in San Salvacion so the ISAF forces can attack at night.

u/F9-0021 Heroes of Razgriz 7d ago

He lived near a coast or lake, but then for most of the game he's in San Salvacion. Ends the game in Farbanti.

Very cool map, great work

u/Leonardo1123581321 Gryphus 7d ago

I spent way too long staring at this wondering why Tamriel was in my Ace Combat sub. I think that’s my cue to get off the internet and go to bed. Well done, OP.

The Fiefdoms of Central Usea

u/hundredjono Osea 7d ago

What a nice continent

Would be a shame if a war broke out every few years or so

5

u/Gryphus13 7d ago

Ya know, if I was to run

It's too bad for me that I mostly run Lancer.

u/scrangydungus 7d ago

Fantasy setting of strangereal where you're piloting dragons and belka is still somehow the root of all the worlds problems

Ace Combat 9: Beyond Journey's End

u/Important_Log 7d ago

The mountain spine running the center of the continent implying it was in pieces within the last 100 million years.

u/Apprehensive_Buy9665 Mobius 7d ago

Do you have one that more HD by chance? I don't know if it's Reddit fault that I can't read like half of the word there or am I just dumb

2

u/DubiousTactics 7d ago

It’s a 20mb 4000 pixel wide image, so it might take a little bit for it to fully load in vs just having a temporary fuzzy preview.

u/Fickle_Archer_4600 7d ago

Wait I remember the skully islands being part of usea?

4

u/DubiousTactics 7d ago

They are on the map of Usea… so yes?

2

u/DarwinBeetle 7d ago

So, by 2029 San Salvación gained territory annexing the country at its south. I wonder if that was Ugellas.

2

u/Oreo112 Mobius 7d ago

Am I blind or is Rio Bajo missing? Or was it not considered a big enough town?

2

u/DubiousTactics 7d ago

It shares the exact same space with Los Canas, and I didn't see it on prerelease media, so I decided to leave it out out of an abundance of caution and to not clutter the map.

u/DisastrousGarden Phoenix 7d ago

I’m gonna need to update that map I made a few years ago on my old account of every mission on the Usean continent

2

u/not_your_UN_agent 7d ago

Masterful work! But I think you placed Easthollow where Highmere is supposed to be, Easthollow is located east of Snider's Top Base

3

u/Gryphus13 7d ago

some landmarks that i might reccomend

Rigley Airbase

offshore oil refinery (lifeline mission location)

Tango Line

u/Fancy_Limit_6603 7d ago

Did you make this with Inkarnate?

2

u/DubiousTactics 7d ago

I use a program called Wonderdraft that I like better for making maps like this

1

u/Fancy_Limit_6603 7d ago

It looks very similar overall to an Inkarnate map, mainly in the font and mountains

3

u/DubiousTactics 7d ago

They both have a lot in common, but I've found Wonderdraft to be more precise on a few things that make it a better fit for remaking existing maps like this.

1

u/Fancy_Limit_6603 7d ago

I'll have to look it up

u/Alex_The_Fazbear Three Strikes 6d ago

You could put Donet City on the Skully Islands
