Here's a Map of General_W's Proposed Settlement Strategy:

Alternate Maps will be posted if/when I see any.

Current Wild Guess:

I made the guess image, by just taking a mirror image of our continent – which the other land appears to be so far - I don't know if I'm even close – but from this it would appear there is room for a small unpopulated island in the "V" space between our lands. (there would also be room at the top of the map).


Others will be posted here when Available.
 
Hopefully this is helpful! (despite my ridiculously poor MSpaint skills!)

Discuss any map related things here!

When we've explored enough more, or if anyone would like to make a case to re-draw something, I'll update as I have time.
 
@General: Feel free to move this image to 'Kiss Map Archive' if you like. I'll post here for lack of a better idea.

This image represents our best guess as to KISS's borders, as of Turn 45:
 
Been done. You seen the turn updates?
 
Could someone post a map of the Snarling Narwhal's turn 49 position, maybe both zoomed in and out to get a feel for the other continent?
 
I don't have a turn 49 shot here at work - but here is the Snarler from turn 48.
Hope it helps in the meantime!

 
Here's my latest work on compiling what we know of the world:

Here's a full size view complete with estimated mini-map:


Here's a 50% view that will be easier to use if you want to past a full version somewhere else on our forums:



Hope this helps as we plan our grand strategy to rule this world!
 
Thought I might add some speculative fuel to the fire here...

I was looking at our mini-map, and admiring the symmetry of Meleet's work – when I noticed something… a big empty space on the map.

See mini-map:

Might be worth sending a suicide galley to check it out.
Think of the hidden treasure Meleet may have buried there!

Maybe I'm still intoxicated from my accurate guesses at the shape of the world thus-far! What do you think?
 
This is indeed something to ponder... I had thought for a little while that there might be another hidden land, but it was really so beyond anything based on the map, I dismissed the entire notion. My question is this: Do we inform KISS of this idle speculation? I say NO!

Let us keep this little jewel among us trusty Greeks, and if we find that we are willing to let a galley go exploring, we shall be the only ones wiser for it.
 
Suiciding a galley/curragh is better than disbanding it in no man's land if we decide we don't want to pay upkeep, but I wouldn't be in a hurry to send sailors to their doom just yet. Do you think there is space for a similar island in the north, or are you calculating that Rik prefers southerners?
 
Does the curragh (unit not found in Vanilla) also have the 50% chance of being lost at sea if not ending its turn in a coastal square like the Trireme from Vanilla?

The reason I ask is that a curragh can only move 2, but with a Galley's added movement it may be worth upgrading a 'suicide curragh' to a 'suicide galley', the galley being able to end it's turn in sea squares, but not in ocean squares.

Click to expand...
If there's one in the south, I'm sure there would be one in the north (and vice-versa).

Rik dosn't appear to play favorites.
 
The Creator's Mind :worship:

Indeed the pattern has a devine symmetry ... I'd say that the chance for a great southern land is very good ... a space that great would be screaming for filling :D

On the otherhand this symmentry also has a disturbing Rorschach quality ... :eek:

I say man a galley and ... sail ho ... ;)
 
:bump:

Several updates here. (all in posts 1, 2, & 3)

enjoy!
