We have a pantheon for the empire, which can be found in the religion thread...

6 and 8 look the best to me.  I particularly like 8, because it gives the option of both continent-spanning adventures and kingdoms, as well as island adventures and kingdoms.

For finite types, like human beings, getting the mind around the concept of infinity is tough going.  Apparently, the same is true for cows.

Quote from: IshmaylSorry Jurgen, I don't have that information :(  I'm sure I did at one time, but I can no longer find it anywhere.
if you have the original .gif format images, you can find the seed and other info encoded as comments.  open the file in a text editor, and it should all be near the top.  if you've thrown those away and only have the .jpgs, then that won't help.

Well, unless there's objection until this evening, I'll go with map Nr. 8...

Incidentally, I just discovered that the Wiki doesn't permit uploading files. Should I just dump the completed map into a forum thread instead?

Well, we have a file upload section here that has received minimal usage.  Click Here to upload files and I'll make sure I approve it so it's somewhere around here.... there's got to be a better uploading method...

Can you also permit the uploading of .svg files? These are the default format for Inkscape, and it would be nice if others could edit the maps, too...

Just upload it in a zip file and there shouldn't be any problems... I think...

And now the website with the fractal generator seems to be down...

<Sigh>

EDIT: Apparently, this site has the same generator.

I'll create a large-scale image and start tracing it now...

Whew! There's a lot of detail in that large map - I've been at this for two and a half hours, and I've only traced two thirds of the supercontinent...

But it will be worth it - once I'm finished (I have great hopes for this weekend...), we'll have a 4000x2000 px map, which means that one pixel represents 10 kilometers (or 6.25 miles)...

Well, I've at least managed to trace the big continent - here is a preview of what I've got so far:

It's blank in the CBG, but if you click on it you can see it properly.

Very nice... I can only assume you use a graphics tablet, right?   Otherwise, that was some serious mouse-work.

Yup. The tablet - a Wacom Volito 2 - cost me â'šÂ¬50 and it was worth every cent.

If I didn't have one, I wouldn't have attempted this in the first place...
