NES World/Regional Maps II

[North King]

I already have. Gah! Took me a whole year to convince people to STOP using that color for the ocean, and now people are using it again!

 

[Insane_Panda]

I call that blue 'Myopia blue"

 

[Xen]

tough luck; my loyalty goes to the sea before it goes to France, as far as color goes

 

[North King]

Seas look much nicer and more natural with the patented "Northkingsea blue" color scheme.

 

[Xen]

the earth disagrees with you

 

[alex994]

is it just me or do i think the sea should be a darker blue?

 

[Symphony D.]

That blue seems really... bright. If you're going to use "ocean blue", it'd be as below (center of the pic near Madagascar).

I rather like the blue Jason's maps use over either. Started purging ocean Latitude and Longitude lines and putting them on the continents instead. Latitude is easy, Longitude's hard aside from the prime meridian.

Should be done tomorrow.

 

[Insane_Panda]

Indeed. The dark blue is the blue of Francais!

 

[North King]

Xen, my patented "Northkingsea" blue is much closer to the earth than your Imperialfrance blue.

*psst* I started the tradition of using that blue...

 

[Symphony D.]

Well, "Northkingsea" Blue then.

 

[Jason The King]

Xen, my patented "Northkingsea" blue is much closer to the earth than your Imperialfrance blue.

are you sure? i thot it was erez who did it for my map

yarr, and what would as land lubber like you know about de sea?

 

[Insane_Panda]

Indeed, he lives thousands of miles from sea!

 

[North King]

are you sure? i thot it was erez who did it for my map

Was it? I forget. I just know I started using that color, and commented upon how much better your map would look with it in some stJNES...

yarr, and what would as land lubber like you know about de sea?

Who says I'm a landlubber?

 

[Xen]

I do; if you can be lumped with the Dakotas in a medieval-American NES, even if you live on the great lakes, your hardley one with the sea (at least not on a reguler basis)

Lake Superior is big enough to be a sea... It just lacks the salt, which makes it much more pleasant. Oh, and I don't think the salt changes the color much.

 

[Xen]

Sea, as in Ocean; perhaps the great lakes are big enough to be seas; but an inland sea, and the Ocean are two very different beasts indeed

Fortunately, not harboring any bias against inlanders like you, I know that Superior is deadly enough to be an ocean, and if you think it's too small, pray tell, would you care to swim across it? Especially in november, I hear waves get up to 20 or 50 feet high.

And that's not to mention the fact that its color is rather unaltered.

 

[Xen]

When lake superior spawns a Hurrican, then you can talk

 

[Xen]

And that's not to mention the fact that its color is rather unaltered.

unaltered from what? mabey in the great lack, but when you go out on the Atlantic, just heading out for 1 5minuets, tou can see the colour change from blue similer to you coloure to real ocean which a more awe inspirnglly deeper blue, th ekind blue that makes you look around and say to yourself- "****, we really are alone out here". really awesome, really sad, makes you think alot, all said.
