Pangaea Ultima [abandoned]

[Ninja-Town]

Ours looks 250 million times better.

[Guiscard]

I'm assuming they're both based off of the same projection.

[AndyDufresne]

Their configuration is slightly different...I.E. some of the countries and mountains, etc.

Make the nile!

[Nukora]

Nice idea, really great. Awesome.

[fluffybunnykins]

It's interesting, I mean, any map that gives Madagascar it's very own bonus has got to be worth a go, eh?
I like the way the continents don't look so much like they're all hovering just above a giant ice cube, now... but, hey, in 250 million years, who knows...

[unriggable]

I'm sorry unriggable but I can't change the continent configuration cause if I changed it, we could not anymore call it "Pangaea Ultima." Pangaea Ultima is the name given by Christopher Scotese to his potential configuration of the continents. However I still have to improve the connexions between the different countries. I will follow your advices.

To answer GreecePwns... Yes, the territories will have names. But I don't know yet how I'm gonna name them.

Touche. In that case carry on.

EDIT: What is in the classical game of risk known as Kamtchaka (the segment of russia closest to alaska) is part of the north american plate, so that would follow america.

[CitriC]

the shape of africa and south america gives the idea that they were united and NOT the bottom of africa with the middle of north with south america..

i like the idea of the map not that part of the design ;(

i prefer like this http://www.vulkaneifel.de/eifel-vulkanmuseum/evm/assets/images/kont102.jpg
or

if it would be possible to change it would be 5 stars [/url]

oh and i think you should give like pre-historic names to the territories

[sfhbballnut]

has this been abandoned, I was very interested before I left last week and it seems to have dropped off a bit

[Gabrioche]

Don't worry sfhbballnut
I just didn't have the time to post news but I'm still working on the map.

[Kayla]

I will say that you have the best 3D mountains of any map on this site- whether its up for play or just a draft. I really like the way they look.

So now we have 3 pangea maps in development? Though I guess you can't really count Kayla's- she spent days insulting Marv's map but hasn't realeased a single update on her own.

I have released updates. Oh and this map is looking freaking awesome. Im glad you didnt steal it from someone elses idea like (not saying names), but i think this looks completely awesome. Maybe you should also work on the past pangea, i have a long list of ideas to help you out with.

11 Mar 2007 update:

[Wisse]

what did you update?

[Evil Pope]

what did you update?

Well, its pretty obvious that he added names. And, maybe less obvious, an Antarctica-South america attack route. I think thats about it.
Edit: And also, he changed the color of water within the continents.. so they no long match the ocean; however, I think that it was much nicer when they matched.

[Molacole]

north america 3 border-10 territories = 3
oceana 3 borders-7 territories = 3
europe 3 borders-9 territories = 3
combine antartica&oceana 3 borders 12 territories = 5

madagascar&south america 4 borders 9 territories = 6
madagascar shouldn't be worth +2

I see the south turning out to be the deciding factor in this map. the southern bonuses are a breeze to hold and once you have both you're going to be very hard to stop if you go through south america.

asia should be worth 7

[Gabrioche]

Thank you evil pope, I'll follow your advice.

[Unit_2]

wow... i LOVE IT!! it looks very good. and is New Zealand part of Oceania or Antarctica. i can hardle tell

[Gabrioche]

Except the color of the seas and the bonus, what should be improved on my map?

[Bad Speler]

Sorry if im being repetitive:

asia should be 8, 15 territories, 6 borders,
Europe perhaps a 4, it has 9 countries
Madagascar 1, as anyone who starts with it if it were to have a bonus of 2 would gain an immediate advantage.
North America also a 4
in my opinion, ths south is good how it is.
Africa and South America seems good.

I would like to take this oppurtunity to congratulate you on the graphics, some of the best ive seen so far.

[unriggable]

Except the color of the seas and the bonus, what should be improved on my map?

I think madagascar should be part of africa, not it's own country. Being a dousche, I should say its not exactly to scale - shuld be smaller and closer to africa.

Also make the south america-asia mountains bigger.

[Unit_2]

i think that you need to take out the Mts. out between N. Brazil & S. Africa, & S. Africa & E America Basin

[Enigma]

agree w/ molacole-- south is way to easy to hold by far.

[Skittles!]

It's hard to see if Quebec and Angolia connect.

The graphics are looking sweet, The colours are looking really well done.

[Ninja-Town]

Dude!! unlike some of the maps in the foundry, this is very very playable!!! I really really cant wait! GREAT MAP!
