hmmmm not exactly sure if its true. but i think most ppl like the idea of it, and it gives a good idea for names, when u think of pangea, you think of dinos, at least, i do

Pangaea

Postby Kaplowitz on Wed May 02, 2007 7:22 pm

Im not sure if anyone has already done this but i made a map for Pangaea. I put numbers instead of countries. I dont know much about the code or maps so if someone could fix it up, that would be nice. if you want to help it, just save it to your computer.

this seems like a cool map, but it needs a lot of work

Hmmm...
I've seen one or two Pangaea maps, and they both failed (except for Pangaea Ultima (Earth 250 million years in the future)).
Pangaea is kind of like Classic, just shoved together, but it could be playable, I say just see how it goes.

This has been tried a few times, and while i don't mind the idea, my main problem with it is lack of imagination.

All people have really presented are, like pepperonibread says, just the countries from the classic map shoved together.

Think a bit more outside the square.

I'm sure the countries and their boundaries, and probably even their names will have changed between now and 250 millions years from now.

What I would love to see in this, is the map tell a story of the last 250 million years.

I could just look at the map and go. 'ohhh half of USA was wiped out by floods' or big chucks of Asia being destroyed by a nuclear disaster or something. Or Africa gets their act together and becomes a super power.

or whatever. just make it interesting.

Spockers, I actually agree with you for once.
He's right. Make it original.

Good point. I think i was skimming down and read Pepperoni's comment about the future.

If you insist on doing it in the past, then why are you using modern continents?

Make it interesting in the opposite way.

you could try it while they were splitting, but not at their current locations, like when it was gondwanaland and laurasia and make those the major bonuses, and then have little subcontinents, similar to how world 2.1 does bonuses.

Because those are the tectonic plates.

I more meant modern continent names.

For it to work, it needs to be a lot different from the classic map shoved together.
