Title: NS RP Map Discussion

Alright, let's figure this shit out. I'm tired of the RMB being so polluted by all the nonsense about maps. So, we're coming here to try and sort this out.

First order of business: Earth map, or not Earth map? I'm leaning heavily in favor of NOT Earth map.

As I said earlier, that would be way too much land, unbroken by rivers or mountains or anything. It would be weird.

But yeah non-Earth or a messed up projection would be fantastic. The issue is finding a good non-Earth map.

After everything on the RMB, despite my preference for an earth map I'll take a non-Earth simply to avoid people taking territory based on preexisting notions.

Seriously, I could have demanded all of Africa and no one would have blinked.

I quite like a non-earth map, avoids a lot of the landgrabbing problems we had before... Oh and it means I can make my own culture and religion instead of using earth ones! So I'll probably be using some of my work on Mithra that I've done here: http://wintreath.com/forums/index.php?topic=4350.0

Are you just fundamentally misunderstanding this? There would be no Germany. Your request is frankly either impossible or very easy to fulfill. The former in a realistic sense where it originated from a very particular set of circumstances which has an infinitesimally minute chance of being perfectly replicated; the latter in the Civ V sense of 'you'll be happy wherever and geography is unimportant'.

First one is good. But though it doesn't bother me at all, I am unsure if others would prefer that the left and right sides be clear of land, seems like most made up world maps will put a vertical line of ocean there. The closest thing to that being possible is probably right in the center of the map. If no-one cares about that though, then I think it's about as good as the map from page 1.

Second one seems odd to me. Like the map should be shifted left by about 35%, to get the west continent on the right. It's like it's currently aligned to make that one island in the middle seem important for some reason, like it's the island capital of the world. Because if it's not, it's taking up critical space in the middle of the map when it should be shifted to being near the left border of the map so the emphasis can be on the main continents.

I'd prefer Ashton's map.

Tom's first is, in Civ terms, a Pangaea, which then makes control of that isthmus of crucial strategic importance because whoever controls that can control both oceans with suitable investment for a canal (which would be priority one as soon as it becomes a viable option). Sure, the north and southmost poles are nominally clear, but practically they'd be ice, which renders them impassable. The isthmus is far too strategic a location to allow it to be held unless we were all willing to resign ourselves to living under a hegemon (which I for one would not be, and I sincerely doubt anyone else would be or else I should have declared myself such a long time ago).

I suppose I have no problems with the second, but I have this feeling like I vaguely remember this one being employed before. Mostly because I seem to remember a discussion concerning this one on the RMB.

Well that feeling that you vaguely remember the second one from the RMB is because it is from the RMB. I suggested using this map on there too.

And I can agree with the isthmus being a very strategic location. When we last used this map, Allouxia had complete control of it.

It wasn't specifically against you :P. Tech restrictions are techs that are currently available and IN USE in real life in 2017. However, we are currently in 2003-2005(?), basically early 2000s, and tech is at that level.

Oh, for fuck's sake. How many times do I have to spell it out:

The TECHNOLOGY is CURRENT, meaning this RP has it's maximum technology level set up to the level of technology we had on 15 August 2017 (or whatever date you are reading this). Yes, that includes social media, microsatellites, CRISPR, the F-35, and so on. We, or at least the more technologically advanced nations (which is pretty much everyone since nobody, save those whose aesthetics trump their gameplay needs, likes to be behind in the slightest), all have access to this technology or less, but we do not have anything that is beyond what is the proven cutting edge.

Some examples:
-Moon landings can be done (at considerable expense), but no Mars mission or permanent Lunar base.
-Fifth-generation stealth fighters have taken to the skies with connections to very useful sat links, but they didn't take off to provide air support to working combat walkers.
-Gene editing can be done to plants or bacterium to make them do nifty things like increase farm yields and produce medicine, but it can't be applied to humans to make a scientifically superior "master race", no matter how hard your modern Hitler expy wants it.
-Electric cars exist, although they're still prohibitively expensive for everyone outside the upper classes (but they're getting less so every day!).

The CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER, meaning the way we structure and space out causal events, STARTS ON THE YEAR 2000. This is a completely meaningless change that serves nothing but the aesthetic of IC historical dates, and since there's so much confusion over the fact that the calendars on our iPhone 7s would be reading 2003 in this world, I should probably just give it up to spare everyone the confusion.

Solaran Olympus has a much more muted version of that, mostly because that doesn't seem like the 'obvious' place for the western border, I'd have expected it on that isthmus a little further west, unless it should happen that there's a mountain range there prompting those borders.

I actually kind of want to point out that Balticia 's borders kind of don't make a whole lot of sense, Balticia because it's not geographically contiguous (and thus harder to maintain a grip on).
Solaran Olympus has a much more muted version of that, mostly because that doesn't seem like the 'obvious' place for the western border, I'd have expected it on that isthmus a little further west, unless it should happen that there's a mountain range there prompting those borders.
I em a maritime Empire and they are all in my culture so i dont need to worry about rebellions!

Some of the RMB people seem a little greedy with the huge countries they're demanding... All I ask is for the 2 pixels in purple, with an arrow pointing to them so you can see which pixels I would like.
Microstates, anyone?

Thanks for taking it on yourself to do this. I should probably have pointed that out earlier.

That said...I sorta asked for the other half of that island. If its a pain to change it, eh, whatever, I'll make this work, but if it's the sort of thing you can change in about 2 minutes then please do.

I don't know what the red text means, or the inconsistent underlining, but I would gladly trade what I was given for those two pixels... oh well, will have to make the best of the very southeastern island of Aethelia.
