Hey! I'm moved in. I'm exhausted. I still don't have that map with the Rovaick settlement names... [quote=@Double Capybara] [@Muttonhawk] Shrinking back to the old map sizes would be interesting, but I think the main problem in here is that Inkarnate is a pretty map make that is actually very trashy mechanic wise. We also need a larger map because soon we will have more and more named important cities. And what is up with you and the creation of more and more oceans? Are you team aqua? If anything we need islands is the seas (exception being Jvan's since she is a islaphobe.) [/quote] We can try! Really, the map's scale as it is functions fine as an abstract representation of the main things on the planet. It's just that we could use more regional maps to really punch in the scale of Galbar, like Termite suggests and like you did with the Mesathelassan hain tribes. Without that kind of stuff, the valley of peace is still bigger than the Black sea. Speaking of seas, that cataclysm was just a half-joke. I thought it would be interesting to have some naturally separated communities so cultural growth can diverge and cause clashing value systems to react when those barriers are overcome. Though, the more I think about it, Acalya, oceans, mountains, the Changing Plains, and Piktaraika could feasibly stand in as those separators already. By the way, I'm all for islands. Feel free to pop them up around the metatic ocean. That was a transmutational clusterfuck that could have resulted in any number of isolated archipelagos. Except near Cornerstone. The water is rather universally deep there. [quote=@Antarctic Termite] Anyway, the one main thing I want to emphasize is that I really, [i]really[/i] don't think we want or need those land bridges. Land bridges don't make the world more accessible. Seas and rivers make the world more accessible the minute you invent the sail. Once you start thinking of oceans as a way to get around, land bridges are actually just giant walls that block you from sailing where you want to go. There's a reason people dug canals through Panama and Suez- Just a thin stretch of land in the way can add massive amounts of time to a voyage. [/quote] Some enterprising folk could probably dig canals with tollways or some 'reverse ferry' rackets until dynamite is invented. All these new bodies of water formed by the landbridges need names, too. First come, first served! I'm more amenable to the landbridges, not for making bits of the world more connected, but because we as the god characters could make cool moments out of opening them up and they do seem like something sailors would curse Vestec for. It's a bit of a selfish opinion. I'm easy about what happens to them. I'm also all for adding new terrain features. However, not every single one has to be visible from the world map. Regional maps can deal with that kind of stuff. At any rate, thanks for adding to the map. Now I have to remember what happened at Metera Valley. EDIT: Oh, right, it's Phi's pad. That damn, race-integrating spin-doctor. [quote=@poog the pig] >Someone finally revises "Capital" into "Alefpria" [/quote] I got you, fam. [quote=@Kho] -To correct Mutton's edit: the Oath of Stilldeath and the Chronos Portal lies, I believe, beneath Old Bark-Skin rather than in the ruins of the Solitary Mount [/quote] Fair 'nough, I wasn't too clear on that myself. [quote=@Cyclone] It feels out of place that Zephyrion would fix the land bridges, if and when he returns. No promises from me. [...] Alas, my reign of trolling shall come to an end at your request. I was actually starting to think that the collection of maps was getting ridiculous, but nobody complained and so I let them pile up :lol I'll consign them all to a hider somewhere at the bottom of the post. [/quote] "Hey Zephyrion! Those earth djinn down on the land bridges think you're dumb and ugly! And they don't respect your authority!" Instant landbridge destruction, courtesy of Zephy! As for hiders, they don't seem to stop the images loading for me, regardless of whether they are actually in hiders. This is the main reason that I moved my sheets over to a separate thread. [quote=@Kho] Also, again, regarding map size/things getting crowded. We just need to shrink down many of the sites and their accompanying names, and make it so the map has very high resolution and we can simply zoom in on particular areas to sea details. [/quote] I swear, if this RP gets its own custom google map... [quote=@LokiLeo789] [@Kho] I'd like to request an island chain for no particular reason. Is their an inbox I put this request into or.... [/quote] Just write that something that at least one of your characters is doing is being performed on an island chain without explaining how the islands appeared. We're not real estate agents here.
