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

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

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...

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...

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

what map was it?

drat u beat me to it

edit: i was looking at it the other day

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

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.

interesting...

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

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

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.

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

he did say he was getting there

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

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

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.

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

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
