NES World/Regional Maps II

[amirsan]

you would need an impressive set of rules to start a nes in that time period.

 

[Xen]

this could make an interesting NES map; eiother stand alone, or applied to a larger world map (its taken from the x-pack to the game "Zeus", called "Posiedon"- I highlly suggest it if you liek city-builders at all. you also notice a similarity between how I play NES's and the actions of the Atlanteans through thier foundation through to thier war with the eastern med sea powers (which and I liek this you can play as the atlanteans in oen scenario and win, or as the greeks in another scenario, and win it as them)


this is onyl the far west- no real need to cover any fo the european or med sea colonies and powers; or even the Oceanids and mayans or Atlantean cities.

in fact, i could try to find a blank map of atalatis proper, if anyoen wanted to make the map.

@Drake: The northern little bit of the Byzantine-Sassanid border looks funky. Should be a little to the east...I think.

 

[Insane_Panda]

@ Drake: Gah! My europe map is horrid! To much fancy ocean crap and it makes screwy borders. I suggest Plexus' europe map, 'tis much better.

 

[North King]

I'm thinning the borders for the world, done with the Med.

 

[Dachs]

Greece just looks weird. The gulf of Corinth isn't as clear...it's a better job than I could do, lacking the patience to draw a map from scratch as I do.

 

[Insane_Panda]

@Dachspmg - I am doing several fixes to the worldmap aswell, in preparation for the map for your NES. I should post it soon, mostly just changes in europe.

 

[Insane_Panda]

Heres a preview of what I've done. This is only Europe, but I've done Arabia, India, and some of south east Asia aswell. As you can see, many areas have been substantially repaired and tweaked, especially the balkans, so that one may actually place nations on the map properly now.

 

[tommy_toon]

It's beautiful IP!!!!

 

[Xen]

awesoem, but I think your over-emphasizing the features of the Iberian peninsula

 

[Jason The King]

Balkans look okay, but the rest of it look too...messy i think the word is.

 

[Dachs]

Yeah, the Balkans look great, and the rest isn't half-bad, either.

 

[Symphony D.]

but the rest of it look too...messy i think the word is.

Flat coasts suck! The fact is the world is messy shaped! Accuracy > aesthetic.

 

[Cuivienen]

It's great, IP. I don't like Scotland and Iberia, but just a few tweaks could fix them right up, and it's otherwise amazing! Norway finally looks REALISTIC.

I also like NK's thinner edges for the map. If only someone could combine the two...

 

[Jason The King]

Flat coasts suck! The fact is the world is messy shaped! Accuracy > aesthetic.

But more difficult for NESing.

 

[Symphony D.]

I disagree. Have you tried placing cities accurately in say, Japan on the current map? Absolute nightmare. Moving a flood-fill tool around a bit more to color in a map isn't that big of a hassle, especially when it makes it easier for players to apply real world data (terrain, elevations, etc.) accurately to a situation.

Apparently most people don't actually do that in their orders, but it's nice to give the option.

 

[Drake Rlugia]

I was going to translate my Roman Map to Plexus's Europe map, but I got "distracted" and ended up making a new map on his world map with rivers. Guess the date and win brownie points!

 

[North King]

Drake, I don't care what the date is; the bit of Upper Michigan sticking into Lake Superior should not be Canadian!

 

[Hellfury]

My modifed Version of Plexus' map, now with borders. Some Lakes have been moved to fit borders better.

Borders are draw with RGB 51,51,51 so they are easy to remove.

 

[Drake Rlugia]

NK, it amazes me that someone could find such a tiny thing on such a big map. But it's fixed. And Canada is British because I had dates wrong, they still have a couple years till they get freedom.
