Apocalypse / Final Battle map

Postby ignisfatuus13 on Sat Mar 03, 2007 3:08 am

here is an idea for a map that i had. its just a rough sketch, obviously. i still havent worked out all the connections and territories yet, but i want to know if there is enough interest that it would be worth while to put more time into it.

Image

Continents: 6
Territories: 33 (my goal is to have ~45)

i labeled everything there so you all can get a general idea of what i was thinking when i drew it. i want to have at least "heaven / forces of good", "underworld / forces of evil", a partially-destroyed earth, and some earthly human population. i added the old beliefs and 4 horsemen just because they round things out a bit.

i'm new here, and this is my first attempt at a map, so comments and suggestions are welcomed.
thanks!

I find the idea too controversial. Also, most people aren't going to write anything about something that looks that abstract.

the idea is worth developing :shock:
put at least some colours to define the continents and territories. and maybe some connections and we'll have a nice idea.

Indeed, as you've begun it's very new testament... 2/3 of the world isn't christian.

And I'm concerned by what else you're going to put under "old beliefs" - I mean, if the apocalypse comes true as predicted, wouldn't that instantly make islam, hinduism, buddhism, and scientology old beliefs? You really don't want to piss off the scientologists. ;-)

that's a great idea - consider a focus on a single mythological source. For instance, change heaven to Valhalla and suddenly its a historical norse myth map, rather than a religious map.

I agree with oaktown. pick romen, greek, or norse but it could make some people mad if you used a modurn religion :wink:

don't know much about old myth religions, but the ones i do know about (and most people know about (I think,)) are Greek, Roman and Eygptian Mythology...

so I think you should do one of them..

I usually make ideas for maps, I never really stick to them.
