Earth map offer: what's the most requested?

Rhye · Mar 28, 2003

I have begun working on a Robinson's projection Earth map.
But I'm unsure about what to build first: 140x140 or 180x180? I let you all decide.

By the way, this map has an high land tile ratio (oceans shrunk, large spaces to found cities, even in Europe): the choice of 140 or 180 could be influenced by this.
A 140 map can contain a number of cities that a 160 or 180 map could. And the 180 could contain what a map over 200 could.

this is wrong forum, and I think both have already been made

No Robinson projection 140 or 180 has ever been made

Rhye why do you post in the wrong forum?

i voted large btw.

Procifica · Mar 29, 2003

I think both 140 X 140 and 180 X 180 should be made.

What is a Robinson projection anyways? If it looks like that, good luck to you, that will be HARD to implement.

Zulu should be coming in here soon with his wrong forum message

I posted here because I'm a newbie

This image is to show the current progress:

My 140x140 version (the one with the arrow) is compared with

-el mencey's 256x256 (1): Miller projection
-Kal-El's 180x180 (2): multiple projections
-Kal-El's 140x140 (3): multiple projections
-Veryeager's 130x130 (5)
-Mongoloid Cow's 120x120 (6)

well now that you say it yourself :rolleyes:

when will you post it? it looks quite good.

Developement is halted for now.
Well, I haven't much time right now. I have to study for exams; and I'm working on the Age of Mythology mod, too.
So, I haven't time to create a map for only 3 people interested.

There are probably more interested, but they just haven't posted.

# of views for this thread is pretty good.

Moved the thread to the right forum

Is 140 a 'large' map?

Hygro · Apr 6, 2003

I think 130 is a large map, and 160 is huge.

Rhye the map looks good--I was hoping a robinson projection comes out soon. Hey, just don't overdo the resources too much like everyone else

UPDATE

It will feature a large Europe
This doesn't mean that it's huge and distorts the map, but for example, in the 140 version it's as large as Europe in Kal-El's 180x180 Earth

Here's a comparation of continent shapes:
In green -> my future map
In orange -> Kal-El's map

Earth map offer: what's the most requested?

A new Earth map: what size do you prefer?

140x140

180x180

Don't do anything: current maps are enough
