i realize youre using a mercator projection which enhances the size of antarctica, but having a global warming map with a gigantic ice sheet at the bottom bothers me...

this image shows antarctica if the ice was removed. not taking into account sea level rise if the ice did melt...so sea level should be even higher than shown on this map!

either way id shrink down antarctica...and even if its not an accurate 'projection' id shrink it so antarctica is only in the center portion of the map, and maybe some islands that are connected instead of a large mass.

uninhabitable isnt a word.

Habitable = People can live there
Inhabitable = People cannot live there

i think inhabitable is the word you are looking for

Um, no, uninhabitable is most definitely a word... I think you need to check a dictionary. Habitable and inhabitable mean the same thing...

This map is very nice and i voted for it to continue by the way...

However i think you need to add something different to it...Different kind of gameplay or sumthing...

I thought of a little idea....

Whoever has the a country in the red zone loses one army every turn but if they have a country in the antartica they lose nothing...

Now it could be important to have a country in the red zone to break up continents of the other players¬!!

I think someone may have said this before, but you should make it so all the ports can attackone another and there's a decent sized bonus for holding them all.

Don't woory, we're on Spring Break (yes!), and between goofing off with me and lanyards and obessing about 'Spore', he'll probably work on the map some.

ewww...lanyards...they disturb me when guys make them.

No further news on this yet? I noticed it was beginning to slip through the pages (only page 2 to be fair) so decided to give it a small bump.

by **pepperonibread** on Sat Apr 07, 2007 2:19 pm

i made some changes, mostly revamping antarctica, however, i also changed the bonuses
i also added a kind of underwater effect, to show how the continents sunk, and i toned down the uninhabitable zone
besides that, i just made a few minor changes to some text and stuff
p.s. : i know the legend is too small, and i'll fix it
