[Terrance888]

Rock and roll, eltain!

 

[Gem Hound]

12 Points:
C9:
1 Point - Same sort of climate as the other squares up there but not as extreme.

B9:
2 Points - River that flows into C9. ((Source is in A9 though I don't have enough points to make that))

C8:
1 Point - Mildly warm ocean area. Warmish winters and lukewarm summers in comparison to upriver.
4 Points - Ocean curved in at the mouth of the river (curve) going from SouthEast corner to the NorthWest corner. Islands lightly speckled in the area.

River: 4 Points - continues to flow from B10 to C9 to C8 into the Ocean on C8.

 

[Boundless]

lots of coastline...

 

[Eltain]

Gem Hound: Sounds good.

Boundless: Poopoo sir. Also, I'd appreciate you list how many points you have, and how you spend them. It is Panama gasp.

My orders:

10 points:

I'll sprinkle some hills on the F2-G3 islands.

 

[Boundless]

I had 16 points to spend. I have put water/land down in 4 squares at 4 points each time.

I want the gap to be very narrow (an plan for my capital to stride across it!)

 

[Eltain]

I know.

 

[Boundless]

Eh, you just asked me to do that.

 

[merciary]

16 Points:
ocean in E 10-11 and F 10-11
The Coastline should continue as it is in E 10 and 11
A massive archipelago with varying sized islands should extend through all of this newly created ocean

Bank 1 point

 

[Eltain]

Well , look what I could've used.

merciary: Sounds good.

 

[Lord of Elves]

18 Points Total
6 Points - Iron on any of the islands of my archipelago
4 Points - Round out the continent in the east, at G8 and G9 where (as I understand) Terrance's marshlands/etc meet the sea with a "Cliffs of Dover" type coast, with vegetation and the like consistent with the climate of Terrance's region growing on said cliffs
1 Point - Temperate rainforest climate on that one island in the archipelago, uniform with the others
5 Points - D1, a large volcano pushes out of the water, and spews fire and brimstone for so many eons until it cools, the caldera is covered, and becomes a large island
1 Point - Mainland-consistent climate on island created by volcano
1 Point - Bank

 

[Eltain]

Lord of Elves: Terrance's marshlands are already on the map, just north of there. Do the cliffs make up the "bay" there, or do they round the coast in the south of there, where you said (G8-G9).

 

[Lord of Elves]

@Eltain, round the coast to the south.

Link to ze map WITHOUT CLIMATE

Spoiler map :

A1-L12: "hSitty pseudo-poems wrack guilt; mod gives no craps."

C2-D4: "From Mountains' Well came river, spring and geyser; A thousand streams to add to the torrent."

B1-B5: "From Mountains' Pit came stone, metal and rock; Forged an army in the night."

C8-A9: "A torrent stopped as lands well drift; the bitter people of the horse rummage."

D1: "Southern irons colder than stone; from the oceans came the fire-walkers, all alight."

E10-F11: "Times swept its thousand islands; two, four, eight, and finally sixteen."

F1-G3: "An island hopped once, twice; a thousand marks, flags and tiers rise."

F5-H5: "A river of land worming, snaking across sea; Man's Hold wearies the Herd, the Cross, and the Dragon."

H5-H6: "From Mountains' well came only river, song and story; A thousand births in-land from the cursus."

G8-H9: "Wean the river from its mother; Rock, Stone and Gully unite; thus ends turmoil, begin anew."

Tragedy has struck! Only one terrible roll, which unfortunately went to Terrance888. This was the Dice Gods, Terrance.

All: WELL. Today was a special day- the 5th Update Anniversary of our making a map together! I have also provided a map without the climate, as I think it really looks much better that way, and that way it is obvious we are truly getting somewhere.

The 5th update also marks the time that we get far more - or far less - points! Some made it big, others lucked out, but I hope you all continue to participate in this game. It's a wonderful experience seeing this world come alive, and I certainly couldn't have came up with all of these ideas on my own.

Other:

Since I got orders early, I could update early. Huzzah! Two days ahead of schedule. Do we want the next update early as well (Thursday) or to stick with the Wednesday-Saturday schedule?

It is also apparent that I suck at drawing islands.

I will no longer be accepting images as orders.

Next update at player discretion. See OOC.

 

[Gem Hound]

Eltain! just saying this: you missed the southern fork of my river in the NorthEast! ((C9))

6 Points:
A9
2 Points: River that flows into the foothills and then into mountains I'm going to place later. Fed from three locations in the Mountains.
3 points: Hills - a strip through the middle that begins to curve North on the West side of A9.
1 Point: climate - Same as the rest of the Northeast corner.

Note: Mountains will go through A8, A9, A10, A11, A12, B12, and C12. I'm gonna need alot of points.

+dice points reserved for next turn.|((What do I do with these anyways?))

 

[Eltain]

Gem Hound: Huh? Where did I? Wha? (is the eastern river supposed to link up with the western north-southwest one?) I'll correct the mistake on my computer once I understand what is not done, but not upload the map. Orders look good.

((It is. Thanks. ))
((The Eastern one goes from B11 to B10 to C9((Meets up with Northern river)) to C8 into the Ocean.))

 

[Optical]

12 Points
4 points: water in most of I7, barring a peninsula reaching from the western side of the tile into the centre
1 point: windy, wild coastal climate
2 points: FISH in the sea to the north of the peninsula
3 points: Hills just south of the peninsula, in H8
2 points: River from the mountains in I5, flowing slightly northawrds through I6 and emptying into the bottom left corner of I6

 

[Eltain]

General Olaf: H8 is north of the I7 peninsula.

 

[TerrisH]

Looks exactly as I wanted Eltain.

14+dice points? meh.. Lets' see..

2 points: Grain in C3
12 points: Water in B1, C1, and D2.
+dice: banked till next turn.

D2: coast countiunes about 1/3rd of a tile in from D3, then curves up, exiting in the corer between D2 and C1.
C1: coast sticks very near the east edge till near the top, then swings west about 2/3rds of the tile, then heads up to B1, forming a penensula.
B1: cost curves up a bit form C1 into the tile, then back down to meet the existing coast at tiles edge.

Lots of small Islands in B1-C1 near the westerns and southern coasts. but none on the northern ones.

 

[Moldath]

Oh man, I feel obliged to make a volcano now... but is it worth 20 points? Is there more to the 'volcano' than just the volcano?
