Pangea | Pangaea etc.

werent there like 15 pangea map threads going on at the same time at one point?

[intermike_8]

I didn't know I don't usually follow this. So why hasn't anyone done it yet?

[TaCktiX]

If you're going to do it, make it a little more interesting than standard Risk mechanics, like territories that have dinosaurs and cause -1 per turn. Perhaps a mix of AoR and normal Risk. We've got a ton of simple Risk maps as it stands...

[whitestazn88]

well, i'm no map maker, but i was thinking of something because of a recent pangea thread that popped up again.

we all know that pangea was some back in the day stuff, but what about the future?

continental drift is a real thing, and at some point, the west coasts of NA and SA will collide with europe and australia or something...

maybe there is a cartographer out there who would be interested in imagining such a place and developing that map.

or not. it's just an idea...

[Balsiefen]

And a very good idea it is. There is a very good map in the foundry, but unfortunatly it has been abandoned.

[whitestazn88]

what map was it?

[Balsiefen]

Pangea Ultima

Pangea Ultima

drat u beat me to it

edit: i was looking at it the other day

[whitestazn88]

thats not really what i meant, but its pretty cool.

[shadowsteel9]

I think it would be cool for someone to make a pangea map, have it have all the countries as classic, but all joined in one giant landmass, including more countries for antarctic.

[Joodoo]

interesting...

[RjBeals]

This has been attempted - and there are a few threads already out there with this map in development. They may be abandoned though.

[Balsiefen]

Loads of 'em started, non finished. Your welcome to give it a try though.

[ThrowinStones]

Lots of people have been talking about it, so I decided to make one. A MAP OF PANGEA!
Let it be known that this is probably the roughest draft one can make. I still need to:
-split each country into sections
-differentiate colors
-make a map key
-and make it generally better and more fun
Please make comments.

the last attempt was also exactly the same!
i dislike - where are the terits?
are actaul conts conts?
bonus key?
not to mention the fact that it looks like something my 5year old cousin could have doodled in like 2mins

[sam_levi_11]

he did say he was getting there

[Kaplowitz]

I thought about a Pangaea map, but it never left my computer....

The problem is making territory borders...that's where i got stuck.
If you want the PSD for the ^^^above image i made, just pm me.

that looks cool, but it needs some stars in the background, and the sun/moon

[sam_levi_11]

and the bottom of the planet needs to be lighter

[bryguy]

and the bottom of the planet needs to be lighter

no not the way kap has it, kap has it that the sun is more towards the top, which leaves a shadow down at the bottom

[Kaplowitz]

Well i never really made the map because i couldnt think of territories.
If anyone has any ideas....

Plus, this is ThrowingStones' thread, i dont want to threadjack. I was just posting something that he could use if he wanted.

[Keredrex]

There is a theory that Pangea never existed... Check out the link... Apparently a scientist in the 30's came up with this and it has a small following. Very interesting though... It may help you with your pangea map. Good luck

no dont change the lighting, just make it overall lighter

[RjBeals]

Threadjack here as well... but I really really really loved the pangaea ultima map that was abandoned some time ago. This could serve as inspiration for ThrowinStones as well I guess. Beatiful map. Too bad the map maker's last post was November 2007
