I say we leave room for a second continent on the other side of the planet. That way we can add some more truly "exotic" elements to the world without detracting from the environment of the mainland.

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

Ok, here's what I have thus far on the new Compass Rose

 [spoiler=Attempt 2] [/spoiler]

And just an idea. If we end up deciding that the world will have a ring I could do something along the lines of this.

Anyways, this is in the rough stages and any ideas, comments would be appreciated.

I like the one with the ring. It could probably use something in the middle. What? I don't know.

I have a bit of an idea for that.  Once the empire is named, we could develop a standard for them, and use a symbol from their standard in the compass, kind of like the empire itself created this map and compass rose.

That's kinda what I was thinking.

I've changed the map slightly and brought the number of regions back to 40. I will post it later.

[edited because I'm stupid]

Just to give you an idea of what the Roman Empire was and a few city-states from Greece
Most sites say Rome was over 2 million square miles


Ithaca was about 37 sq miles
Sparta was about 3000 sq miles
Athens was about 165 sq miles


After looking at these numbers and the regions. I think most of the regions are going to be less than or about 5 sq inches. Which should be okay for city-states.

What do yall think?

Damn forumy thing. Cut off the rest of my post somehow... maybe I pressed a key or something and deleted it. Bear in mind it was 4:00 in the morning when I posted it. :P

I think 1:7500 sounds good - that's not TOO big, not Roman scale, but is huge enough to be a true empire.

I agree with Wensleydale, that is.

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.
