Cartography
Sorry if this has been covered already (I thought it might have been but I couldn't find it): How accurate are Almean maps, especially as regards the northern hemisphere?

Re: Cartography
I believe I've said that the iliu gave the Verdurians a map of the entire planet. But outside this, the southerners have a very poor idea of what's in the north.

Re: Cartography
Well that was kind of them... I like that you can work out details like that to cover up the fact that you have a planetary map before the Almean uesti could achieve one.zompist wrote:I believe I've said that the iliu gave the Verdurians a map of the entire planet.

Re: Cartography
It would be interesting to see an actual Almean world map.
Re: Cartography
I've noticed that on this obviously new map:
...the Gurdagor seem to have been moved over to the western side of the Luduyn peninsula? I'm curious as to the reasons for this? I like the shading that shows relative concentrations (majority/minority languages), such as for Sarroc in western Dhekhnam.

Re: Cartography
They had to be moved for their climate to be anything like what zomp wanted them to have. He redid a few things (this is probably the most drastic major thing; the most drastic was the change from the Rau Jungle to the Rau Savanna) while he was doing research for the Planet Construction Kit.BGMan wrote:I've noticed that on this obviously new map:

Re: Cartography
You know, I feel like Xengiman would be colder than you think it is because the gulf it's north of will be mostly polar water. Look at the land around the Hudson Bay- there's tundra at 54 degrees north!
Re: Cartography
Why is there a big no man's land south of ismain? You'd think ismain or other nation around it would try to annex it.

Re: Cartography
It's the Kara Desert, which is virtually uninhabitable to Almean humans.

Re: Cartography
IIRC it's nominally under Verdurian suzerainty, but what sir nuke said.
Re: Cartography
I guess that would make sense. Apparently, South Korea (eastern end of Eurasia) has climate similar to Germany (western end).Drydic Guy wrote:They had to be moved for their climate to be anything like what zomp wanted them to have.

Zomp also had changed Ečendi to Uṭandal, but left Gelihurendi unchanged. I wonder if "Ečendi" is now the Gelihurendi name for "Uṭandal"?
Re: Cartography
"Gelihur" would be a local form anyway. They talk funny over there (compared to Mnau).
