This thread is for the Cartography Office, which is part of the Ministry of War. The aim of the Cartography office is to produce maps of benefit for the people of Licentia and the Secretary of War in particular.

The Cartographer is appointed by the Secretary of War each term. The current Cartographer is Oldbus.

The current Great Atlas is below.

Unit Maps for Secretary of War

The Secretary of War maps have been adjusted slightly - hopefully they will be more useful. There is also a blank version of each map (i.e. without units and fog) which is designed to be used as a dot map by citizens. There is also a blank small-scale map covering a much larger area which is designed to help when planning unit movements over a larger area.

Science Information

We have 10 turns until we complete Feudalism.

We have completed all techs before the ones on this screenshot apart from Monotheism and not completed any of those that come after:

General Maps

The purpose of these maps is simply to show the world we live in and how we have named it. They will not be updated as often as the maps above as (other than boundary changes) most information should be fairly static.

Please be aware that these maps will be a bit bigger than those above.

Cartographic Notes

The World

In ages past, when the tribes of hunters that would form the great nation of Licentia were wandering across the world, it was believed that the world was flat. With the great advances in learning that came with civilisation, it was then discovered to be a sphere. Some very clever folks then discovered that the world was not a true globe, but a shape called a spheroid. And they were smug. Frankly, everyone else had a bit of a laugh when further discoveries showed that the true shape of the world was not a spheroid after all, but a sidoid - very like a sphere but with some strange properties.

Due to insight from Dutchfire, we have been able to determine where the equator is: one square south of New Port City and Toot Uncommon. Using the grid reference, it is -15N. Since the trade for the Calendar technology, our wise folks have been finally able to determine our overall position on the globe. Our continent is in the western hemisphere.


Mapping the world

The process of creating a two dimensional map from a three dimensional surface is called a projection. Due to the unusual properties of a sidoid, only a sirianal projection is suitable for mapping our world. A sirianal projection maintains equal area, but distorts distances. In particular, distances in the directions that are 45 degrees from the 4 cardinal points (i.e. N, S, E and W), appear on the maps to be approximately 1.41 times as far as they are on the ground (the exact relationship is square root of 2).

Some of the small-scale regional maps (e.g. the cultural maps) produced by the Cartography Office are a conventional orthogonal sirian projection, but many of the larger-scale maps are shown with a perspective view which distorts distances towards the top of the map.


Map grid

Most of the maps produced by the Cartography Office have a grid to help locating features. The origin of the grid is our capital, the glorious city of Boaring Wallow (0E0N). Grid squares east and north of Boaring Wallow have positive numbers and those to the south and west have negative numbers (for example, Micalian's Gate has a grid reference of 0E4N and Abydos' reference is -4E-10N).

The reference numbers actually refer to the south-west corner of the grid square and if more precision is required then tenths of a square may be estimated (e.g. our Noble Leader's Palace front door is approximately 0.7E0.4N).

Very nice job, i hope you don't mind if a use some pictures for Auda Minor.

Not at all - it is here to be used.

Atlas updated again to 1142 AD (end of TC on 11 June)

Added a General Map for the northern area of our continent. This has various things named (before any polls resulting from the Big Naming Thread) and is aimed at encouraging folks to vote when the polls come out so that we can have more names on the map.

EDIT: and added map for southern area of our continent

Most of Atlas updated to 1196 AD (TC 17 June). New section has maps of German cities we can see.

Secretary of War maps only updated to 1268 AD (TC 27/28 June). These maps have been adjusted slightly and blank versions added for citizens to use for creating dot maps and plans. Also, a small scale blank map has been created of a much wider area to help with planning the war.
