Updating surface maps and their links as I have time. Surface map columns 1 through 18 and Z- through B- done. I also update the world all set of maps, and the links from each html page.
March 4, 2010: links below are updated.
Feb 2: links not updated yet.
In the final set of surface maps, there will be 70 columns. These are: Z- thru A-, A thru Z, and 1 thru 18. Rows in use are A through T.
The surface maps sequence is: Z- through A- then A through Z, with map columns 1 through 18 in between Z- and Z with column 1 starting after Z and 18 the column before column Z-.
The line between columns A- and A is the zero meridian. The players didn't know of a zero meridian, longitude, but they figured it was in Trillolara.
The final map will be 12,950 miles x 4,680 miles for a total of 60,606,000 square miles or 156 968 819.415 square kilometers. Don't worry, alot of it is ocean...
Clicking each small map will bring up the large map of that area. Most of them should then show a link to any nations mentioned on that map.
Each map covers an area 185 miles east to west by 234 miles north to south. This is the Southern hemisphere, and the only area I had wanted to game in. I left off the map measure tables for clarity and due to the hexagon paper I used varied in actual size per sheet of paper. The players knew of columns H thru Q and rows A thru I, but most adventues took place in Trillolara on maps MF and MG. Some game store adventures took place in Dank Forest ( map KE ) and Teslarc ( JI ) near Burlan. No player knew of the columns and rows, they saw a large sketch map instead.
The Great Open is tundra, prairie, or semi-tropical near the volcanos. Note that there should be a blending of the land types where they meet. I'm working on that.
Don't forget ! South is at the top of the map, north at the bottom for the surface maps.
Ocean and land information. including location of the Equator, -20, -40, and -60 degrees South Latitude.
A very graphics intensive map of thumbnails of the entire surface of Crestar. I suggest dial up users not click on this link.
