the red points on the left map are the ones i used to fixate the aoe (asia)map to a real one
fortunately for us, the river at omsk is distinctive enough to recognize. The spots in the green circle are all connected to the flow of siberian rivers.
circled in yellow i estimated a point; its roughtly the western most edge of the tarim basin… its definitely not perfect, but its onlyone, to atleast somehow fixate this area near the himalayas on a real map. After i applied it on the program, the two big mountains (marked red) matched perfectly on the old (himalaya) and the new map (central asia); i dont know what specific mountains they are supposed to be, but i think its a good sign, that they match.
so there are 2 points left between the green circle and the tarim basin/2 mountains; the eastern point is a part of the modern chinese mongolian border, that fits very well;
the western point is roughly defined by a river in kazakhstan (but it gets covered by the central asia map later on anyway.
Edit: its possible, that mongolia will apear smaller in future maps… but even then, i think central asia will bodyblock himalaya from connecting to eurasian steppes/siberia
no, i didnt know what border it was supposed to be ^^’ but after your message i also think its not a real border and just some graphics aswell.
I guess the developers let some open room to reorganize the area for eventual future updates, also a reason why there are no clear borders between siberia, eurasian steppes, mongolia and himalaya shown on 2022/23 maps. maybe siberia gets split even more, like what they did with yamal…
