To this day, those warslides at the end are perfect. The way they are synced with not only the dialogue but the music is absolutely perfect. This is the prime example of good warslides. And this video is a brilliant example of a good penultimate episode. My point made perfect. Now that TH-cam has added the feature that allows you to see when people skip to most, it is right as the warslides for Eurasia begin.
Graxum=OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP
Shit man. That was by far the most intense mapping video I've ever seen. I never knew countries talking could actually put me on the edge of my seat like that. Purely amazing!
***** Yeah. The way Eurasia was slowly collapsing as Graxum revealed he knew what was going to happen all along was so creepy and unnerving, I loved it.
but seriously, what's Graxum going to do? He basically controls half the world, so he has everything. Will his people see what he does isn't for the good of them, but for his twisted mind? WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN????????
When I saw that you uploaded, I dropped everything I was doing and sat infront of my screen, with my jaw open. No one, and I mean *no one* can top what you do. You sir, are the best mapper by far anyone has seen. Videos are short, the story is gripping and on point, everything is original, the map however simple it is, it looks amazing. Ion, you truly are the God of Mapping, don't deny it.
Eradiate Well, i might be unactive on the Wikia and the Community, but im still active on some of the bigger and older mappers like you. I really enjoy some mapping videos, especially yours. Sometimes i miss mapping, but i have more important things to do rn.
+Nick HD Mapping™ Didn't know you still watched mapping videos, you going inactive was a loss for the mapping community. I'm glad you watch and like my videos :)
Eradiate Okay, now Graxum is jost being a total knobhead. I hope you make a countryball video were Graxum gets to see France get slowly burnt and stabbed to death. Then, they take Graxum, pull a saw half way through him, put one pound of salt in the body while he is still alive, and then wait for him to lose so much blood that he dies. Then, they paint Athens read with his blood and nail up his dead body on a door to the parlament.
Well, I have to say this. You and your AFoE are fucking amazing things. I have never clicked this fast on a video before and I have never enjoyed a video so much. This is fucking fantastic! Great job! I would also like to know some facts about Graxum (ideology, people, politics, leaders...). It would be great if you could do a video about that when you're finished with this series.
I'm really happy you liked it so much! About the facts about Graxum thing, I might do a video where I just discuss different things about my AFOE (inspiration, more detailed info, analysis etc.) so *maybe* I could include that in that video?
+Empror Cheesecakes Thanks for the compliments ECC! The Eurasian Civil War scene was the most time-consuming thing I've ever done in mapping, but it paid off
This is such a weird power these videos have. The least motivated of mappers, like me, get a huge boost by watching these videos. Maybe it's how perfect the video is? I don't know but I don't care. Whenever I don't feel like making videos, watching this will make me want to blo up the world.
You have the key element of Alternate Future perfected. A series is pointless without a story, a narrative. I adore you. It's amazing to me that a Mapper could have such detailed and attention grabbing story. The way you always leave hints as to what will have next. It's like I should have seen some of it coming but still couldn't predict it. It works so perfectly with the music too. The moments in the story and music line up so well. Good job, Great job with what you've created here.
Jesus, I could watch this a hundred times and not get bored of it at all... I've already watched it 6 times and am so impressed by everything! Eradiate, I really don't understand how you do it.
I don't know why people are hating on this video,I mean,why don't you guys go and make a better episode? You most likely would not get even as good as half of his.
You're storyline is great but I have to admit that if I were to predict the future this would happen. Graxum and French Empire will win the war (obvious). Like Ardumus, France will realise the Graxum is a maniac and will stop being in his alliance. Graxum's next alliance will probably be with North Germany cause of the break up of Germany from Eurasian Union, France taking a lot of German land and also Bavaria and wurttemberg which are German land stolen controlled by france. Later on this will lead to ww5
Eradiate i agree with this guy, but please before you end it, we must know how Graxum knows all and make all the countries he conquered fight for their independence like in Eurasian union
Well if it falls, it must be an unimaginably smart and powerful plan, not just pesky rebels or other stuff. I mean,just look at what they did to Russia.
this looks sooooo realistic I am scared to watch, btw, I have not uploaded any episode cause i am restarting, lighter sea colour, new war colours, different fonts, but the info box remains
So, I came here through another mapping channel which recommended you. I must say, even though this might be using just maps, the storyline is the most devastating, amazing, brilliant one ever.... ... ... ... ...it feels just as the same... ... ... as any Chinese movie/book i've seen (that video stated you were chinese，是吗？)
Yes, I come from and live in Hong Kong, so my ethnicity is indeed Chinese. I disagree that this storyline is the best ever though, I've seen some astonishing stuff in films and books that are dozen of times more well-crafted than my series.
This is By Far one of the most epic mapping videos I have ever Seen... And I finally found the perfect music for a certain event of my series through this video, thank you ^^
hey eradite To make Russia become the Russian empire and dominate and make a map of the world to be very interesting and that the Russian Empire invaded Asia, some parts of America and Europe and all Oceania and Africa to overcome the Mongolian empires, the British and that Invested in A group and its colonies and that ended the fourth world war and that the Russian empire was the first world power and an image in the world powers. And if you do all this, I will be very grateful. And that Russia invades graxum.
You did that... SO PERFECTLY! I SHOT OUT OF MY SOCKS WHEN I SAW THIS! 🤗 OMG, you cannot even begin to comprehend how amazed this community is of you. You are truly the saviour of mapping. Thank you.
To this day, those warslides at the end are perfect. The way they are synced with not only the dialogue but the music is absolutely perfect. This is the prime example of good warslides. And this video is a brilliant example of a good penultimate episode.
My point made perfect. Now that TH-cam has added the feature that allows you to see when people skip to most, it is right as the warslides for Eurasia begin.
Worth the wait.
+Michimaps These three words are such a great relief for me
No problem man. It seems you took the AFoE crown from Nick HD, lol.
Michimaps You are so right...
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Graxum is a great antagonist for this series. Thank you for making this series for us all to enjoy
+ANTÔNIO JOSÉ DA SILVA NETO Graxum is the antagonist actually.
Even Leonardo da Vinci couldn't paint such beauty like this...
+Orbis I am now imagining Da Vinci sitting in front of a canvas making a mapping series.
That's quite funny to imagine, lmao
'laughs'
Link plox
***** This is gold, I'm saving this.
I love this series, and this great mapper, Eradiate. The plot is so good!
+StarburstPlays Gaming Cheers! c:
Eradiate wow! I never thought I could get a reply! Thx. :D
StarburstPlays Gaming I try to reply to every comment if I can :)
Really the best AFoE I have seen :D Really surprised :D
Thank you!
Fantastic! I can't wait to watch Episode 19!!
Someone born today would be in their 70s at this time. Holy cow.
Wow this is so cool! Thanks for doing this :P
Hnng everything you make is so good
holy shit that was that's was awesome! I love the video my friend
+Johnathan the Derp Aw, thanks a lot Johnathan! You've always been with me since the very start on IonMapping
+Eradiate heheh yup and I will continue to stay and will continue to watch your amazing work!
Johnathan the Derp C:
jesus christ that scene of eurasia dying is really good
when you're going to upload? (pt.18-????)?
It's halfway done c:
just curious, how does graxum treat the people of the countries it began to control like, how does it treat cypriots, serbs, maltese, romanians etc.
Graxum focuses a lot on indoctrinating the children of non-Greek ethnicities. Forced labor is also common.
Eradiate ok but, how about the native languages, would they be banned in place of greek
*Doom*
The best of all!
Graxum=OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP
lol
I hope graxum never loses!
how are you getting on with episode 18? just curious :)
+Dusk Moon :o It is halfway done c:
cool so new episode around mid-late january
Best Mappers : Eradiate,Void Viper Mapping,Neu Katzland and DuckthatShit.
I am deeply moistened.
Shit man. That was by far the most intense mapping video I've ever seen. I never knew countries talking could actually put me on the edge of my seat like that. Purely amazing!
***** Yeah. The way Eurasia was slowly collapsing as Graxum revealed he knew what was going to happen all along was so creepy and unnerving, I loved it.
+Caritasi It's basically the mapping version of looking away from a massive explosion lol
***** ;)
where are you from?
hong kong
not another cliffhanger god damnit
+FedexYT yes
+_Ish _ Who knows? If I told you it would be spoiling the story ;)
Holy fucking shit
This is the greatest video of mapping. It was extremely intense. How can you be this good, not just at mapping, but at telling a story, too?
I know! It combines a great story, great animation, and a cliffhanger making you want more!
This isn't mapping, this is art.
MerchantFromVenice +1
Eradiate Keep up the fantastic work!
MerchantFromVenice I will!
Eradiate Great! I can't wait for episode 18!
This does not just feel like watching mapping, it also feels like watching a very good movie.
C: I'm glad you liked it Multi!
same
"
i choose you, ditto!
Punctuation, gotta use them all!
I am like screaming right now, but that was AMAZING!!!!
but seriously, what's Graxum going to do? He basically controls half the world, so he has everything. Will his people see what he does isn't for the good of them, but for his twisted mind? WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN????????
I can't answer that question because spoilers ;)
oh ok
No one thought it could be done, but one mapper did it.
*The bad guy wins.*
+TL Mapping Or does he? muhahaha
Eradiate Uh yeah. The allies are basically fucked at this point.
TL Mapping You're right. After Eurasian Union collapsed, allies are doomed.
*Eradiate uploads*
Time to get out the popcorn
lolyes
You are the best mapper in the categorie: story.
Call Mate you forgot atmosphere
Dhjaru NOT Mlg well actually I forgot all categories
I'm tired of Graxum winning. #MakeGraxumLose
You know how Trump says" We'll win so much, that we'll be tired of winning."? Trump moved to Greece confirmed.
Well,Barron Trump is now almost a hundred years old. Trump would've died,unless his wall cures him. #HillaryTrumpConfirmed
Yeah #MakeBritishEmpireGreatAgain
I don't care. I want Graxum to lose.
You do know he never accepts suggestions, right?
Nothing can give me satisfaction like Eradiate's video
Thank you Breakinger!

Agreed.
Nick HD Mapping™ Absolutely Nick!
+Nick HD Mapping™ Woah hi Nick, didn't expect you to be here :O
Eradiate
Well, i might be unactive on the Wikia and the Community, but im still active on some of the bigger and older mappers like you. I really enjoy some mapping videos, especially yours. Sometimes i miss mapping, but i have more important things to do rn.
+Nick HD Mapping™ Didn't know you still watched mapping videos, you going inactive was a loss for the mapping community. I'm glad you watch and like my videos :)
All hail the king of mappers
+DGZ Music Nah, I'm not a king.
Queen then.
GOD
Best mapping video ever. This is... incredible... You're the best from the best.
Hope is all you have left.
Eradiate Okay, now Graxum is jost being a total knobhead. I hope you make a countryball video were Graxum gets to see France get slowly burnt and stabbed to death. Then, they take Graxum, pull a saw half way through him, put one pound of salt in the body while he is still alive, and then wait for him to lose so much blood that he dies. Then, they paint Athens read with his blood and nail up his dead body on a door to the parlament.
IHE is love, IHE is life That is very specific...
Eradiate Yup. Just the way i like it.
IHE is love, IHE is life oh my god it's hard to read that and not be offended
Eradiate , there is one thing I never understood, what is Graxum, and what happened to Greece?
Damn. You have extremely good taste in music!
Thank you! I try to find the most fitting music for my videos c:
Eradiate It's certainly working!
Finally! I was waiting for this! Glad I'm not dissapointed! You never fail to amaze us! This was just awesome! :) :D
TKV Education You are so right about that...
eradiate another amazing video of yours it was do amazing I can't sleep until you make another one it's amazing yay!
You continue to amaze me, Eradiate.
Well, I have to say this. You and your AFoE are fucking amazing things. I have never clicked this fast on a video before and I have never enjoyed a video so much. This is fucking fantastic! Great job!
I would also like to know some facts about Graxum (ideology, people, politics, leaders...). It would be great if you could do a video about that when you're finished with this series.
SML Emperor Mapping Same...
I'm really happy you liked it so much! About the facts about Graxum thing, I might do a video where I just discuss different things about my AFOE (inspiration, more detailed info, analysis etc.) so *maybe* I could include that in that video?
Eradiate Yes. It would fit very good with the topic.
Eradiate Yes, you should.
Wow. You stun me again, Eradiate.
Please don't let Graxum win completely: I never want this series to be finished!
We'll see c:
Oh my god it was awsome! Music , Scenario - All mixed perfectly! ^^
The way you made Graxum and the others speak during that Eurasian Civil War was pure bliss. Fantastic work, Eradiate.
+Empror Cheesecakes Thanks for the compliments ECC! The Eurasian Civil War scene was the most time-consuming thing I've ever done in mapping, but it paid off
@@Eradiate I know you might have lost motivation but if you haven’t
Please can you return to mapping?
I'm late
Can i fucking get lost in the comments section?
+Shieldity Nope I still see you
Eradiate well, lmao fuck me
ok good night
"time to liberate Iraq"
now where have I heard this before? hmmmmmm
better than movies
lol yes
very nice
This is the best series on youtube. EVER. DOWN WITH GRAXUM!
Is it bad to want Graxum to win?
+Acerrox no
Eradiate Great. Because I, for some reason, love to see Graxum destroying other countries.
When is episode 19 coming out?
Louis Maude He doesn't have a schedule. But I would say January or February.
This is such a weird power these videos have. The least motivated of mappers, like me, get a huge boost by watching these videos. Maybe it's how perfect the video is? I don't know but I don't care. Whenever I don't feel like making videos, watching this will make me want to blo up the world.
China has to change there name i mean it HAS to be the people's republic of Bork
what an original episode title
but good episode
Sometimes I wish I could make up such amazing stories for these videos. This is just another level.
Thanks a lot Serbian! I try my best c:
Niiiiiiice finnaly germany as good guy
Even they didnt win
as of now, we can predict Graxum will win again so Germany lost 4 world wars xD
rippppppp Germany is bad luck confirmed
I hoped that you would give finland its pre ww2 borders...
+MrOja I actually wanted to, but I got lazy :L

Eradiate didn't notice you! If there was a comment to notice, it would be yours Mejestics. Know that I noticed you
Just... Amazing... i have no words...
Thank you Mind
Jesus, I could watch this a hundred times and not get bored of it at all... I've already watched it 6 times and am so impressed by everything! Eradiate, I really don't understand how you do it.
+Texas Mapping
I don't know why people are hating on this video,I mean,why don't you guys go and make a better episode? You most likely would not get even as good as half of his.
This was the greatest. Thank you!
The powers of Europe are powerless against Graxum. How ironic.
If only the giant were to help...
Who, if they sneeze, Graxum shall catch the cold...
We shall see...
-Nope-
-gai xd-
I have te feeling that after the war Graxum will leave France as Ally and find someone of the war losers, who probably will join Graxum
I HAVE NEVER CLICKED IN A VIDEO SO FAST
+Metracrepas yay
i LOVE YOU VIDEOS METRACREPAS :V
dandeil1003
Meanwhile UK, North Germany, and Ardumus argue while the Eurasian Union gets engulfed... Genius
Amazing job mate! Keep it up! :)
Thank you Blue! :D
You're storyline is great but I have to admit that if I were to predict the future this would happen. Graxum and French Empire will win the war (obvious).

Later on this will lead to ww5
+Italian Maltese We'll see if your prediction holds (maybe not cus the next episode might be the last).
WHAT?! no....nononono it can't be, its too good of a story line to end like that
All good things must come to an end c:
Eradiate i agree with this guy, but please before you end it, we must know how Graxum knows all and make all the countries he conquered fight for their independence like in Eurasian union
+Dusk Moon :o You'll see ;)
Last Battle Graxum vs Ardumus
>:(
Why rebels?!
Why Britain and Germany?!
YOU GUYS COULD WIN THE WAR!
I think you should make Aryan Union to go after europe for some kind of colonizing xd
Eradiate, go check out Imagine Music! I have yet to see a single Mapper use their songs (other than me) and they're amazing!
+Texas Mapping I did use their music in Ep. 13, they make good music!
Eradiate Didn't notice that
I cried!its so good!Finally!The Best Mapper.
+Greek Macedonian Mapper Thanks a lot! C:
Excellent series but WMDs?
This is the first I've seen from you and I automatically subscribed. This is great mapping :)
Thank you so much
gott in himmel...
This was amazing, but I hope, as with all things, Graxum falls eventually
nooo
Well if it falls, it must be an unimaginably smart and powerful plan, not just pesky rebels or other stuff. I mean,just look at what they did to Russia.
Saturnian Yerac Hairam I meant as it will get too repetitive if Graxum wins every battle
5:16 fuuuu###kk
it seems like slovakia is the new switzerland
Please make another episode! You said every 2 weeks! Please your channel is so awesome! Graxum rules!
I didn't say every 2 weeks, but I'll try to work on the next episode more c:
Yes!Another great episode of AFOE
The animation on end was so good i forgot to read the dialogue. Great work.
Thank you Green!
Oh my god. That was the greatest mapping video I have ever seen. I cannot wait for the next part.
Thanks a lot Trevor!
I dont know how can you do this... art. Its really awesome. Congratulations.
+Deinos29 Mapping
Worth the wait. Really. It's more than great. But I'm scared 2 wait 2 more months D:
Amazing!
this looks sooooo realistic I am scared to watch, btw, I have not uploaded any episode cause i am restarting, lighter sea colour, new war colours, different fonts, but the info box remains
help me my fave is Graxum
So, I came here through another mapping channel which recommended you. I must say, even though this might be using just maps, the storyline is the most devastating, amazing, brilliant one ever....
...
...
...
...it feels just as the same...

Yes, I come from and live in Hong Kong, so my ethnicity is indeed Chinese. I disagree that this storyline is the best ever though, I've seen some astonishing stuff in films and books that are dozen of times more well-crafted than my series.
well, from all the mapping videos i saw, this still the best in my opinion. btw, GREAT JOB!!
Eric Censon Thanks mate!
no problem
FINNALY! great video btw
*Sniffles* This... Is beautiful.
:')
This is By Far one of the most epic mapping videos I have ever Seen...
And I finally found the perfect music for a certain event of my series through this video, thank you ^^
Thank you, and no problem ;)
firstt
can confirm, you are first
Can we see a Czechoslovakia reunion and a Yugoslavia reunion, just under democracy? Great Video Series!
Thank you, but I don't think you'll be able to see that in Season 2 :c
Ok no problem! Thanks!
CrashReload You're welcome!
hey eradite
To make Russia become the Russian empire and dominate and make a map of the world to be very interesting and that the Russian Empire invaded Asia, some parts of America and Europe and all Oceania and Africa to overcome the Mongolian empires, the British and that Invested in A group and its colonies and that ended the fourth world war and that the Russian empire was the first world power and an image in the world powers. And if you do all this, I will be very grateful.
And that Russia invades graxum.
make sealand great again!
+The Stragetic Gamer Sealand is the real villain.
Wow, today this amazing series reaches 1 year!
Time flies...
Hmm... I don't like how Graxum wins all the time. It makes wars very predictable.
I'm relly sad that Italy is so naive in this episode..........
Although this is how the story is full of suspence and super, super outstanding
This is so amazing omfg, part 18 is in my checklist. Era, u r the best mapper i have ever seen
Thanks a lot!
Btw, if u continue this amazing work, u can have a 100k subs in no time.
Cαιιroo I don't think I'll ever have 100k subs, but I appreciate the thought C:
Np bro
You did that... SO PERFECTLY! I SHOT OUT OF MY SOCKS WHEN I SAW THIS! 🤗 OMG, you cannot even begin to comprehend how amazed this community is of you. You are truly the saviour of mapping. Thank you.
I'm glad you liked it so much! I'm not the "savior of mapping" though c:
To be fair, people should be pretty sus that Putin's still alive.
