"Looks like we'll have to redraw the map again." - Page 2

ColdWizard · April 1, 2003, 18:41

yeah Sloww

As for the location requests, I'll try to accomodate them as much as possible, but will most likely be making a general map with few countries actually filled in. Remaining countries will be numbered and people will be able to choose based on a first come, first serve basis

Mr. President · April 1, 2003, 18:47

I was thinking more of the "I need a river the size of the Ganges, a mountain range that touches the sky, and a large coastal plain that supplies grain to half the known world!" requests.

Seriously, your idea is fine with me, ColdWizard.

those tiny little details can be handled at a later date

SlowwHand · April 1, 2003, 21:47

Anything but land-locked is "a complicated request"?

Well, excuuuusssse me!

uberlandia is mediumsized, roughly a square, with a little coast to the south.

capitolocracy, ruled by my alter-ego is long and thin above uberlandia. both ends of this densely populated country are adjacent to the ocean.

Upper and Lower Riis are both Landlocked with a major river running through them.

Perhaps . . .

But will the people who've already done National Geographic profiles be willing to accept possible disappointments? Well? Will you?

Mercator · April 2, 2003, 10:38

Greater Mongolia would be landlocked... As far as placing and characteristics is concerned, think Mongolia (surprise, surprise).

ColdWizard · April 2, 2003, 11:24

two recent posts saying landlocked, but only one old vote for it

. Y'all are remembering to vote aren't you?

Malleus · April 2, 2003, 11:56

Yes, I hate to say this, but I misclicked on landbased, coastal.

ceroomaster · April 2, 2003, 17:08

(WB me!)

Ceroo has always been described as "a long chain of islands with a small colony on the mainland" and always been RP'd as being off the south-west coast- not too far from Alecrast & Centralis (our navy helped enforce an embargo on the Centralis rebels recently).

But since the entire map is being redone I woudn't really care where I was (coastal) :-p

We can always re-adjust.

ColdWizard · April 2, 2003, 22:42

preliminary work (rough sketches) commences on the general layout of the region...

If it's funny, I'd say go for it

ColdWizard · April 3, 2003, 12:11

i don't want to take the chance of getting banned before getting the map up

Drogue · April 3, 2003, 13:21

Ahhh, it's *that* kind of banned. Better not then. Do we have an NS mod? If not, I think I might put myself up for this. Do people think this is a good idea? I think we need some modding here at times.

ColdWizard · April 3, 2003, 13:49

no threadjacking, post in the Do we need a mod thread instead

SlowwHand · April 4, 2003, 11:03

Put me land-locked. I'll just march my troops to the sea.

ColdWizard · April 4, 2003, 12:35

you're such a warmonger

i'll have to put you way off in a corner so you can't bother the civilized nations of our region

ColdWizard · April 4, 2003, 13:53

Sloww, you're such a meathead

(to borrow a phrase)

I've started work on the main continent of the Archipelago. I plan a secondary continent/large island for use for future growth (if any) and in case I don't leave enough space on the main continent. Between the two will be islands and island chains. I also plan for Akiria to be north and to west of the main island, with Eternal Cold north of Akiria. Also, I have placed the Kingdom of Wine as it's uniquely shaped.

Given current events, I will next attempt to properly position Alecrast, Sheepsta, and Centralis. Everyone else will be able to pick their locations on a first come, first serve basis after I post the map.

At this early stage, things are looking good, though I think I need a couple more peninsulas

Giovanni Wine · April 4, 2003, 15:59

Can't wait to see the complete work, so that I can start working on it for the website (DarkCloud knows what I'm taling about)

Saluti

ColdWizard · April 4, 2003, 17:19

Well first I've got to finish it and then post it so people can pick their spots and then there's all the detail work to be done....

Henrik · April 5, 2003, 04:12

Hope it's not too late:

Landovia: lots of coast, possibly an island or two.

Map progress continues, about 30 nations on the main continent and 8 on the large island to the southwest. 27 islands/island groups so far (including Eternal Cold and Akiria).

There's room on the for additional countries on the main continent, as that's where I assumed the regional border with CFC would be. If need be I can push CFC back and insert countries there instead.

I will next be attempting to add more island groups and hopefully they won't look like blobs dropped down randomly.

red_jon · April 7, 2003, 20:46

Can w request which countries we want to be near? I'd like to be near Akira

ColdWizard · April 7, 2003, 20:50

Available countries will be numbered and people will be able to pick, except for Akiria, Wine, Centralis, Alecrast, and Sheepsta (their countries have been pre-placed)

Sheep · April 7, 2003, 20:52

oh can you place my other nation. New Griffith on the map. It is a on the coast of the continent near Wine.

ColdWizard · April 7, 2003, 20:54

you'll have to pick for that one

red_jon · April 7, 2003, 20:56

When can we pick?
