They're quite small cities however (the threshold for showing up is only 20 thousand people), and the number is to show population distrubtion (in a quick a dirty manner of course) which might be harder to guess on a different geography.

I've always wanted a fresh start map where i can build up my great nurmaferian empire, but all those neses which seemed promissing have just... died.
so do the upper map, but could you revise some of the colors? it seems like that half of the continent is either swamp or desert.

Disenfrancised · Dec 07, 2005, 02:57 AM

Its a pangea - there will be alot of desert. Only the dark grey is swamp/floodplain - the dark green is jungle.

(btw the lower map does use the upper map)

andis-1 · Dec 07, 2005, 04:37 AM

btw is that tealish colour something like plains/steppe?

Disenfrancised · Dec 07, 2005, 04:54 AM

Opps - I forgot to include the colour legend
(Since currently in Labs)

This is less tectonically active world than Earth so the two vast northern mountain ranges are crust bulges similar to the Tharsis buld on mars (There are two 'super-sheild-volcanos' as well; both over 11 miles high - these tend to inspire religons, can you guess where they are?

)

Grey - Tundra
Dark brown - Mountain
Lighter Brown - hills/rocky highlands
Really dark green - Jungle/rainforest
Mucky Green - Swamp or floodplains (pretty easy to work out which)
Dark green - Boreal Forests
Lighter Green - Deciduous Woodland
Pale green - grassland
Pale yellow - plains/steppes/Savannah
Greeny-yellow - Scruby Woodland/Mediterrean

Lord_Iggy · Dec 07, 2005, 08:55 AM

Ooh, I like the fresh start!!! I'd like one on the southern strait, the one to the west.

One is where that star-shaped lake is in the middle of the mountains.

Just an advice, but you could use this...

Dark Grey: Barbarians who are backward, and most likely weak. Won't try to negioate. Theese are your real barbarians here.

Light Grey: Can be anywhere from semi-advanced barbs, to weak city states not strong enough to be a nation. Most light grey areas have cities in them. They are also smart enough to see your stronger than them and negoiating is possible with theese peoples. But if they are aggresive, theese areas are harder to counqer...

So... Ermm... Yeahh,...

oh crap, i forgot the C in schadenfreude!

oh well u get the point.

schadenfreude \SHAHD-n-froy-duh\, noun:
A malicious satisfaction in the misfortunes of others.

Insane_Panda · Dec 18, 2005, 07:22 PM

Hurrah!

Deutschland uber alles!

Only the Germans have a word such as schadenfreude

And only the Russians have a word such as zloradstvo, which similarily means:

Anyway, am anticipating.

Symphony D. · Dec 19, 2005, 09:08 AM

And both of those are rather summed up by the much weaker "sadism". While I'm here, das, is it true there's no word in Russian for "efficiency"?

I read that in some collegial essay somewhere.

Looking forward to the return of the much storied Neo NES. That map is also rather interesting, Disenfranchised.

Gelion · Dec 19, 2005, 09:18 AM

Answering the question. There's a word: эффективность. There's also КПД which is "coefficient of usefull action"...... clearly these words do not apply to me..

Symphony D. · Dec 19, 2005, 09:26 AM

From what I'm seeing that's "Effectiveness". Not quite the same but with a bit of modification (eg: "highly") I guess it's close enough. Interesting to know.

Insane_Panda · Dec 19, 2005, 09:57 AM

Its because russians are communists, and communists are for big government, and big government is never as effecient as glorious corporate conglomerates!

GLORY TO WAL-MART! GLORRY! GLOORRRYY!

Or maybe the Norwegians stole it from us Danes....

Must be it. We invented it and then our neighbours stole it for their own use
