The time_d that I converted contains options for seasons. -- ElffyB - 08 Jan 2003

Possible starting points for a world map.

On this one I'd prob put tolnedra on the continent in the north west:

On this one maybe on the eastern spike of the star:

Those images are a far cry from what i imagined Tharsis world map to look like. Is there other maps somewhere? Anyone wanna post them? -- MikeBedlam - 18 Jan 2003

Well they are just possibles. I grabbed them from http://www.irony.com/webtools.html Keep in mind that we are talking about a much larger world here than currently exists. I'm putting all the existing world into a small section of either of those maps. Also, these maps are for layout, not necessarily terrain - we can alter terrain to be a closer match with the current world. -- FantoM - 19 Jan 2003

I have a large chunk of one continent planned out, which I think is all we need now. I was even thinking that we should only use half of that to begin with. -- PumaN - 19 Jan 2003

Can we get that posted here somewhere, even as a picture? -- FantoM - 14 Oct 2003

- Can you put some scales on that so we can get an idea of how big that map actually is. -- AarDvark - 06 Apr 2004
  - I havent decided, think of it as a small continent, kind of like the map of middle earth perhaps? -- PumaN - 13 Apr 2004

I agree we don't have to do detailed design of all continents at this stage. I think we should spend a little time getting a rough idea of the look of the rest of the world. This allows us to name things like continents and get a feel for where things site. -- FantoM - 19 Jan 2003

I think we should go with the second map. -- EmbeR - 21 Jan 2003
