but what would stop a player doing it?

Other players. That is part of their job after all.

 

[Abaddon]

Unless everyone united in a very out of character way, i doubt it. An if everyone is forced to play OOC.. makes the game a bit lame IMO

but what would stop a player doing it?

What stopped them in OTL: crippling maintenance fees, difficult terrain, peasant uprisings, diseases, barbarian hordes and widespread corruption. Players don't even come into it; the Chinese were stopped by no man.

I think that for me it will be difficult to simulate...I need help XD

Or, in actual practice, a mod who isn't a walkover.

Hello,
does anyone have map of the world in about .... 1800, please?

 

[carmen510]

Do you think it will ever be possible to practically use a 3-D map, and if so, how would it be used?

 

[Lord_Iggy]

@honzas- There are a few Napoleonic maps, but I'm not sure where.

@carmen- Ultimately, I don't think that 3-D maps would be useful for anything other than novelties.

Hello,

There's this, which is to my (very limited) knowledge, the closest:

Map of the World
Circa 1792 A.D

thank you ..

First, a simple question, erez: do you read?

Map requests, solicitations of input, discussion, and all other cartographic activites are to be conducted elsewhere.

Seriously, what the hell. It's right at the damn top. There's a reason it's there, and it's so we don't wind up with pages and pages of posts so people go "HAY U MANZ, DO U GOTS DIS MAP!?" every week or so. You've been reported.

Thats not North style, North style is rivers in 2 pixel too.

Oh and Europe lacks in rivers, I know their small and globally insignificant, but it would look better if you add a few rivers to Europe...

He didn't request it:

Do you have your more detailed world map, with the two pixel borders "eating in" to the water? That is, for the entire world; I remember a preview of Greenland that looked excellent, but no more than that.

And I've been over the reason why the rivers are the way they are about half a dozen times now. You're free to try and do it yourself if it bugs you that much.

 

[carmen510]

Could you add cities to those maps? (I'm referring to the great looking 2008 maps)

 

[Symphony D.]

You people are priceless.

Maybe when comparing two sets of data ceases to be backbreaking work for more than 10% of the forum.

 

[carmen510]

That link is not working.

 

[Symphony D.]

I guess you're just special then.

 

[carmen510]

Alright, somehow, it is now working.

 

[erez87]

Oh it was a request. Oh ok. Well I request a nice world map with 2 pixels for rivers, and borders. With about 3-4 more rivers in Europe, thats all.

And on that only if possible a map of 1970. Thats really not something I that need, it's for personal fun.

 

[jalapeno_dude]

@Symph: Are you planning to go through the other map threads and put those maps on the opening post of the new thread?

 

[North King]

Ugh.

Symphony, perhaps you should break your own rule and post there to make it clear that this sort of posts should go elsewhere? People won't get it otherwise as they might not figure to look here until later.

Ironic, das. They're supposed to go here.

In any case, the Ebro, Yalu, Krishna, and Godvari are the only rivers I think are important enough to merit addition.

EDIT: Maybe the Elbe, as well.

 

[das]

I realised the irony a bit later, but it was too late.

There are many more rivers that could be added elsewhere, from the viewpoint of being useful for historical maps and such, but I suppose that, say, Halys is just way too small otherwise and if we give all rivers justice it would fill up too much space. I suppose the present solution is mostly adequate, though subjectively the map still seems very empty.

Anyway, out of more significant European rivers, Tagus, Po, Rhone and Loire come to mind immediately.
