Royal Mapping

== Introduction ==
Royal Mapping is a mapper best known for his Alternate Future of the World and Alternate History: World War 1 ~ THE MOVIE. His channel has rapidly grown since he started mapping in July 2016, topping out at 4.7k subscribers.
== 2016 ==
Royal Mapping discovered mapping in late June 2016, via CosmicMapping's Subscriber Alternate Nations. He created his first channel, Minnesota Mapping, on June 22, 2016. On June 23, he uploaded his first video, a trailer for an Alternate Future of Europe. The first and only episode of that series was released on July 2.
Royal Mapping created his second channel and namesake on July 7, and began work on an Alternate Future of America. He discontinued the series after two episodes, in favor of an Alternate Future of the World. This was the first series completed by Royal Mapping; he did so in seven episodes. Meanwhile, he began an Alternate History of Europe series set in the 1500s, which was discontinued after two episodes.
In December 2016, Royal Mapping uploaded a standalone video, Alternate Future of the Arctic, as a Christmas special.
== 2017 ==
Royal Mapping began 2017 with a new Alternate Future of Europe, which was heavily inspired by Eradiate's own AFoE. In February 2017, he tried his hand at another Alternate History of Europe, this one set in the late 1800s. Both series were discontinued after two episodes, and Royal Mapping would go on a hiatus until July 2017.
In July 2017, Royal Mapping created a third channel, Atlas, and a new Alternate Future of Europe series called Contact. Atlas' innovative text box and use of terrain were widely praised, while his plot was controversial, and received both strong praise and criticism. Atlas was a part of the Second Wave Edge, alongside Proxima, Imperialis, Concordia, and Imperial Mapping.
Atlas stopped work on Contact in September 2017, focusing on two collabs, Retribution and Divergence, instead. Atlas left the community in November 2017, after having a falling out with members of the Divergence collab, and would take another hiatus until 2018.
== 2018 ==
In January 2018, Royal Mapping returned to his main channel, and began work on an Alternate Future of the World in Countryballs. Despite plans for a five episode series, and several other spinoff videos featuring countryballs, Royal Mapping grew tired of mapping with countryballs, and dropped all plans for a second episode of AFoW in Countryballs. He would take another hiatus until September 2018, when he returned to work on a new project: Alternate History: World War 1 ~ THE MOVIE. The first episode took two months to make, and was released in November 2018. This series was inspired by Royal Mapping's ideas for his 2017 AHoE and a planned WW1 in Countryballs video.
== 2019 ==
Royal Mapping released Alternate History: World War 1 ~ THE MOVIE ~ Part 2 on January 6, 2019. The episode received universal praise, and Royal Mapping considers it to be the best video he ever made. Following its release, however, Royal Mapping lost motivation, and left the community several times. He returned in April, however, to compete in Grand Mapper: Tides of the Atlantic. After winning the competition, he picked up work on Alternate History: World War 1 ~ THE MOVIE ~ Part 3, the series finale. Royal Mapping completed the video more than five months after Part 2, on June 28, 2019, and AH:WW1 became the second series he completed.
A week after its release, Royal Mapping premiered an unreleased movie of his 2016 AFoW. This would be the last mapping video uploaded by Royal Mapping, marking the end of his mapping career after more than three years.
