News: Physical Map in Production
« on: June 28, 2007, 10:45:29 PM »
I've thought of it for awhile and I've decided I'm going to make the Physical Map of Taijitu.

I've already added a test/teaser of what my physical map might look like by making a simple new island with a preview of Ice Caps.



Now realize, this isn't going to be one day and pow its done... This geographic map will take a very very long time and I would of made it back in January with the basic map but I didn't have enough time so I threw together a pretty cheesy Climate map :P

This map will be a lot larger than it's current dimensions of 4000x2000. I blew it up 150% and now it's 6000x3000 to let it have more room for detail.

Please don't message me about hurrying it up or then I'll probably pay you the favor back of rushing your portion of the map as a penalty, thus making it a horrid portion of the map.. Or perhaps I'll spill coffee on it  :-P

Anyway, any messages of encouragement, pretty ladies, etc will do :D

Oz, a question: Could you tell us which nations are currently shown? Or is this just a test thing?

Ah, the infamous 'Red X' nation. I see.

Well, a superb idea and keep up the good ol' Ozian work we have always loved.  ;D

Am I right in guessing that the test map is not on the scale that the finished map will be on?

Nice work Oz, are you possibly adding grey areas for cities or would that become too complex? Also, maybe you could add continental shelves in the water to signify what areas are shallow and which are truly deep oceans. Just an idea, since I have littoral combat ships and a submarine which wouldn't dare go past the continental shelf. I especially love the rivers and lakes! Add a lot of rivers to my northern peninsula!

When you are finished you could always consider opening a shop where people can pay (quite a lot) to have their land changed a bit (or have massive urban centers added)
I have become, again and again.

Yes... It would be great if everyone who wants some certain feature for their country such as mountains in the north and forests everywhere to post here. If you don't post any suggestions and I have the map completed, I won't go back and fix it.
