    Awwww..crap.

    The map works..sort of, but it hasn't got enough land-mass to work properly in RTW. In order to make it work, I had to add a LOAD of extra 'dummy' land.

    One thing I wondered though....

    presumably, it isn't a question of how much land I have...or how much sea...but it looks like the ratio that matters. I am guessing this since very big and very small maps are possible.

    Anybody know what the magic ratio is ?

    Sure...it's just a 'test piece' really, before I have a go at making Hyborea for my Conan project.

    After the news that Sengoku Jidai was going to be ditching the SP campaign, I thought I would have a go at making a map of Japan for some pseudo Shogun mucking about I wasn't going to bother makign new units, but instead wanted to just try and make a map I could use. Sadly...the islands are a BAD layout for the purpose. It's long, banana shaped...and awkward to fit onto a 'rectangle' of map without having a whole pile of sea. It gets worse if you try to include Hokkaido....which I haven't.

    I am going to have to trim down the edging a lot and re-shape the northern end a little and see if that helps. I may be able to swing it if I am very careful...but only trial and error will confirm if I can achieve a realistic mix.

    If that works, then there are one or 2 other maps I want to do...

    First off...Hyperborea. Lovely and simple....lots of land...very little need for blocks of sea....Nice.

    Second....I want to do the Elric map. Melnibone as the Senate...
