Would it be possible to get a map of our empire (excluding cherbourg if you like) showing he location of all of our cities with yellow dots and also all the US cities and the cities of Munich, Rheims and Chartes in other colours?
If it's not too much trouble.

The map is on the site, the same link . It's the Empire Map.
If something in the map is wrong or is not what you want, let me know and I'll make the corrections.

Can you get uber isle onto the map aswell?

Uber Isle is on the map, but not yet in our Empire. Btw, I'm doing a map of Uber Isle, with grids.

Cheers Aro

I think this is the best map yet.
It's really great.

I almost forget: The Royal Apolytonian Geographic Society will sign the next maps. Great idea, Caesar.

ugh! I'm not going to be able to work on the coordinate map again today. Sorry. But a few things... I like the idea of letters for y, it will make a smaller label, but I'm a little concerned about confusion with counting in letters or ideas of -a. I was planning on coloring at least one of the axis numbers, but with letters that may be redundant. As Aro said the plan is to make this coordinate overlay as flexible as we can. My plan now is to have labels on every tile, every even tile and every 10th tile. I'll work in axii (what is the real plural?) only too. Keep the suggestions coming, and again sorry for the delay...

thankfully Aro is single-handedly turning the Royal Apolytonian Geographic Society (RAGS) into riches!




sorry, had to

Agreed absolutely. In this way, you will have three or four overlays to use when necessary, depending on case. I agree too with your idea, about coloring one of the numbers in the pair. It's enough to make it easy to understand. And don't worry so much about time, what you are doing is definitive and deserves all time you will spend.

Edit: double joke...
Edit 2: put the things in the context...

[caesarqbear]

ok, here it is so far... pardon the out of date map but that's unimportant. I have nto yet added a tinge of color to the numbers, but other than that this is how it will look...

[caesarqbear]

An asterisk (*) is used for nil on the lettered axis. Tiles on the axis can simply be referred to by one of the pair. So Chartes would be I and Antioch simply 22, while Apolyton can be known as "The Official Center of the Universe", or TOCU for short...
In plain text tile designations can be written as -2G or 6-B for simplicity.
Any last comments, suggestionsor questions?

[Aro]

Fantastic job, it’s really impressive! Can you imagine how useful this will be?
As soon you have it done, send me by e-mail, with the map (each layer as a file, etc).
Hmm... Actually, you will have to post a psd file, in your site, because we will need the transparency. Is possible make a gif with transparency in a thing of this size?

We’ll be able to produce a coordinated map for every need.

Man, an admirable work. Congratulations.

How about The Official Focus of the Universe or TOFU for short, easy to pronounce just not very edible...........

[Aro]

TOFU is better... and tastes good, too.

Updated World Map 30 BC, at the same place .

I'm having troubles with my monitor and probably I will be "out" today (I guess I have to buy another one...$$$!). Tomorrow morning I'll be back. I'm using a little monitor (15') as a backup, but is very difficult work with maps in this piece of crap.

[Aro]

There's a new tactical map posted in the same place , with the Apolytonian and Persian troops (only military). I'm sorry for the delay.

The world map from the last save (70AD) is here , as usual.
Edit: You can find an updated map of Uber Isle at the same place (big).
