Ok, my map geekiness hasn't finished yet. I think it is always helpful to have a frame of reference whenever you look at maps. So since we are playing a terra map and our continent is supposed to relate to the "old world" in real life I transposed a map of the old world over our continent:



But since it doesn't exactly line up properly, I moved things around to provide a more relevant and direct comparison to see how much land we are each controling. It is really interesting. Especially me and China.

[LzPrst]

retentive indeed. I love it

just thought of something. have you tried rotating our map over the earth map?

[OzzyKP]

What do you mean?

[KunojiLym]

The French and the Celts aren't included.

So, you want the fun of closing the old thread and starting the new thread, but you don't take your responsibility by creating the new thread with all important information! Shame on you!

Not sure yet if I'm going to take my responsibility though

It just goes to show that if you put one randomly shaped object over another you'll see all sorts of things...

Seriously though, I've thoroughly enjoyed all your maps ozzy. I love doing that myself but I don't think I have the right software. Maybe I stick to spreadsheets...

[OzzyKP]

I was just about to pester you all about posting, but it looks like Levi beat me to the punch with an excellent contribution. Good stuff.

As for the rest of you...

[Robert]

I think I was the first to post for this week

[Glohithia]

This isnt the one post I wanted to make this week

I have to go out of town tonight and wont be back until Saturday. It is another work "emergency" where they send me somewhere with no notice. Due to the short notice, Im ok with the AI taking over for me. However, if somebody has a sub, that would be groovy baby! Yea!

[Robert]

Take your comp and civ4 with you to where you go and login to the game from wherever you are

[OzzyKP]

Any word from Lz or OT?

[Robert]

I think Lz posted in the last incarnation of this thread and promised that he would play.

I am very sorry, but I am working 11 hrs today and I wont be home until 9pm est. I cannot turn the work down as I have been off work for 6 weeks and need to catch up on my mortgage payments. So I wont be able to host or play.......hopefully you can find a sub for my civ. Sorry again.... Thx
