Also it seems that a part of region #2 is cut off by mountains.


I have the rose as a PSD and can pretty much get it to you in any format.

So it does. Now who gets te region 4(1) or Empire(2)?  [dice]1d2[/dice]



Cool. I'll send you my e-mail (if it isn't in my profile), and I'll put the rose on the map. I may need to put a background if it is going to be over the blue section, about where the temp scale is.

Ishmayl, you said you found it, is it going to be legal to use it?

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

I can work on another one. Any preferences on colors?

I'd suggest we keep the Empire's size under the Roman Empire's. It is, after all, a smaller version of an older Empire.

If it is indeed the case that the old Empire controlled the entire continent, it would have been absolutely frickin' huge on the current scale.

"Then shall the last battle be gathered on the fields of Valinor. In that day Tulkas shall strive with Melko, and on his right shall stand Fionwe and on his left Turin Turambar, son of Hurin, Conqueror of Fate; and it shall be the black sword of Turin that deals unto Melko his death and final end; and so shall the Children of Hurin and all men be avenged." - J.R.R.

Right, the current empire should be probably half the size of the original empire, and the original empire probably shouldn't be as large as, say, the US, or USSR, or even China or Brazil.    I would put it to the equivalent of the southeast USA, possibly 1000 miles long by 600 miles wide, or so.

Of course, shortening the scale down to that size would make our planet extremely small - possibly moon-sized, so we may want to consider adding another continent on one side so that the planet gets more planet-sized.

Yeah having this be only one part of the world allows us to make the scale anything we want. What do we want? 1:300? 1:250? 1:100? 1:1?(Map is still 20 by 10 inches)

I guess the best question to help answer that would be how long do we want it to take to get from one side to the other?

Actually, I think the best question to help answer that would be, "how long exactly (or how large) do we want to the Empire to be?"  Giving us that will help us scale everything else.  I'm voting on roughly 600 miles x 600 miles (or slightly larger), so 360,000 square miles.

I'm not good with numbers, especially when we're talking size in miles.  I thought about suggesting a distance by travel-time, but even that I'm not sure about, so count me uninformed and non-voting on this particular element of the world.

So, going by that map, it looks like an inch should represent 125-150 miles or so.  Now, that does make the entire map extremely small, so we'll need to add to it if that's how we do it.  Or, we should make all the countries much, much smaller.
