The Map! The Map is here!

ColdWizard · April 10, 2003, 10:43

121 total countries, 116 available to be chosen. As much as possible I've used color to clarify ambiguous country borders, but I'm certain I missed some, so if you've any doubts, please post and I'll attempt to clarify.

If the you like the country that you've selected, but consider it too large, then post and we can make it smaller

. If you think your country is too small, tough

.

Latest mapThe Map.

Also, I've included a poll because I like polls

Edit: You can flesh out the details of your country or find an independent contractor and I'll incorporate the changes into the main map. I reserve the right to change details along borders so as to provide a smoother terrain between nations.

Edit3: For holders of multiple countries, we're using GeneralTacticus' idea as he posted below.

If I was feeling critical, I would click on it's good, but hell, theres a lot of work there, it looks great, and (shock horror)

realistic. It really is impressive. Nice and simple, stylish, and well done

Great it is then

Mucho Gracias CW, Akiria looks great and is nice and big. Can I have a look at it and put some details on Akiria? Then we can keep a schematic like that, and a detailed terrain map

If we all do our own countries, it shouldn't be much work?

Congrats CW.

ColdWizard · April 10, 2003, 11:15

Yep, feel free to add in details to Akiria and I'll put them into the master map

I forgot to mention such things in my opening post and have edited that in

red_jon · April 10, 2003, 11:19

Are the coloured ones all taken?

ColdWizard · April 10, 2003, 11:23

Indeed not, the only ones taken so far are the pre-placed ones, Eternal Cold (labeled EC on the map), Akiria, Wine, Centralis (Cent on the map), Sheepsta, and Alecrast.

The color is an attempt to clarify possibly ambiguous borders.

The bottom of my opening post will list the countries taken (format will be: number - country - poster). None of the 116 have been taken yet

red_jon · April 10, 2003, 11:24

Ah. Then can I have 10?

OH, and great work

ColdWizard · April 10, 2003, 11:51

thanks

Slowwhand takes 108 btw

Archaic · April 10, 2003, 12:46

Hmmmm.....one minor issue. Alecrast's missing its two small island chains (The Terribi and Doujin chains) to the east and south east of the main island, as well as Marmo, which is just southwards of the south-eastern tip. Just to be lazy, instead of finding an independant contractor, the details are on the old map. Of course though, if you want to include any of the detail from that colour map of the main island and Marmo that I posted on the first page of that original topic.....

/me tries to look innocent, but fails.

ColdWizard · April 10, 2003, 12:49

can do

/me adds the Alecrast modifications to his to-do list

Archaic · April 10, 2003, 12:51

Oops, and before I forget, North Spire takes 4, Fanaan 7 and Wishet 15.

/me again tries to look innocent, but fails even worse than the first time.

ColdWizard · April 10, 2003, 12:56

trying for a powergrab of the northern part of the main continent?

ColdWizard · April 10, 2003, 13:06

and Archaic, try not to be such an ass, let other people get a chance to pic.

I knew I should've posted this in the opening post, that's what I get for assuming that people have a modicum of common decency

. If you have multiple countries, go ahead a pick a spot for your main country but please let other people have a chance to pick too.

Nuclear Winter · April 10, 2003, 13:18

Nuclearia wants No2! Please!!!

Drogue · April 10, 2003, 13:20

A little harsh maybe

But I agree with the sentiment. Let others pick first (all active ones) and then place your other nations.

Ignorance · April 10, 2003, 13:25

42 Lamendum

Method · April 10, 2003, 15:20

35 _{34 and 36} for Tea Kaygia please

battosai · April 10, 2003, 15:50

28 looks nice for Unterhammer. 29 is nice too, would be smart to have Tea Kaygia as my neighbor.

For now..erm..could you let me both ? Of course i'd give one of them another nation, who's interested in but im not sure yet... Also I'd like to configurate (was that an existing english word?

) my borders a little. Whatever, would be nice, and its damn good work (but too much mid - size islands imho).

Well, might be funny, though.

Drogue · April 10, 2003, 16:12

TKG: He said one Dammit

Battosai: I am sure with this many nations they won't go to soon, and personally, I'd prefer not to alter the borders. CW has done them as he see's fair, and changing it around will get complicated, and lead to many different maps. You can ask him, but I would think not altering the borders would be better, although you can put details on your country if you wish.

ColdWizard · April 10, 2003, 16:35

/me slaps TKG around a bit with a talking carp

battosai: one or the other, not both, and the only border changes I'm willing to make is to make nations smaller should the nation-holder so desire.

Andemagne · April 10, 2003, 16:37

aaarghh! its so difficult to pick one.

ColdWizard · April 10, 2003, 16:48

because there's so many cool locations?

or because it's difficult to choose the one that sucks the least?

Whew! I'm back.

Either MtG had a change of heart on his own, or maybe the Wiz's colorful sig line helped.

One land mass per person.
To have person with 5 or how many ever separate Nations, or leeching out to other masses for one Nation, is bogus.

Land masses left after all pick 1 only?
Delete the land mass.

because of aaallllllllll those cool locations.

Great Map ColdWizard

Alea Jacta Est. Number 11(eleven) (that round island chain in the middle of that center ocean) belongs to Sirian Knights for now on. (those islands seem like that they are made for me

)

BTW: who gets to name all those seas and oceans? and what about rivers?

No. All nations here are equal. Moreover, these nations are in Apolyton, so must be placed somewhere, else this map is not of Apolyton. Where else are these countries? Besides, its a good map, we don't want to drop bits of. Let everyone go through with 1 nation first if you must, but all nations here are equal, and so 2nd and subsequent nations need to be placed.

I like rings of islands with another island in the middle, I think every one of my old AD&D maps had one

Quote:

the countries that the rivers run through will name the rivers... as for the seas and oceans, probably common consensus or something

battosai · April 10, 2003, 17:40

oh that's np, actually i don't care much about borders.

Whaleboy · April 10, 2003, 18:15

Hi, this is Elijah (Marijuania), could I please reserve/have nation 69 on the map?

Thanks lots!

Well, these three nations are pretty much going to hate each other once they get set up, and I wanted them close enough to have a decent land war. I figured that with the amount of active people here that it wouldn't be any real issue. *Shrugs*

Mr. President · April 10, 2003, 21:01

Can you put "Dakmoristan" in space number 71? Looks like a nice island. Plus I don't wanna be too near Sheepsta.

Excellent cartography, ColdWizard!

DarkCloud · April 10, 2003, 21:45

Great map!

could iguana fire have #4 please
