Welcome to the Caribbean, mon!

[Amenhotep7]

I heard someone mention they wanted a Caribbean map for Pirate scenarios. I have one converted, but it's all grassland, and I need terrain data on the area. I found this, but I'm somewhat skeptical to believe this provides full cartographical data:

I completely trust Encarta (if you got this offline, that's where it came from). I would trust it. It's just not that detailed.

 

[Amenhotep7]

Encarta, eh? Well, this may not be from Encarta...I'll check...I desperately need to know jungle/forest distribution...

 

[Amenhotep7]

Same goes with hill/mountain distribution...Knowing where resources are would be nice, too.

 

[Gogf]

It looks exactly like Encarty. I'm pretty sure it is.

I have no clue about jungle though, sorry .

 

[Amenhotep7]

Well, it's a small step.

a carribean map for pirates should include all bahamas, southern part of florida, and a small part of mexican gulf too. something like this (this map has no useful info, but I just show how much area should be included)

Heres another with similar lack of terrain info , but more locations

 

[Amenhotep7]

Hmm...If I were working on a scen, that one would be real helpful.

dont forget that secret island that the Pirates of the Carribean come from!

El Mencey made a very nice 140 x 140 map of the Caribe which you can find here .

This'll help out lots! Thanx!

Hey, check this one for locations (I only post URL since it's soo big):

It's a map from Pirates! (THE Game )

 

[Amenhotep7]

Hmm...Well, this would be wonderful for scenarios, too! ...Xen: I could put the secret island of the Pirates, but then it wouldn't be secret anymore, would it?

 

[Amenhotep7]

Can nobody ofer anything on the specific terrain? I can flesh out mountains easy. All I need to know is what is and isn't jungle.

Preview![dance]
Is it accurate?

 

[Amenhotep7]

Woohoo? Anybody?
Bad news: I accidentally deleted the map...I'll have a new one back up real soon, but It'll take a bit.
