I'm assuming they're both based off of the same projection.

Their configuration is slightly different...I.E. some of the countries and mountains, etc.

It's interesting, I mean, any map that gives Madagascar it's very own bonus has got to be worth a go, eh?
I like the way the continents don't look so much like they're all hovering just above a giant ice cube, now... but, hey, in 250 million years, who knows...

Pangaea Ultima is the name given by Christopher Scotese to his potential configuration of the continents. However I still have to improve the connexions between the different countries. I will follow your advices.

To answer GreecePwns... Yes, the territories will have names. But I don't know yet how I'm gonna name them.


Touche. In that case carry on.

EDIT: What is in the classical game of risk known as Kamtchaka (the segment of russia closest to alaska) is part of the north american plate, so that would follow america.

the shape of africa and south america gives the idea that they were united and NOT the bottom of africa with the middle of north with south america..

i like the idea of the map not that part of the design ;(

i prefer like this http://www.vulkaneifel.de/eifel-vulkanmuseum/evm/assets/images/kont102.jpg
or
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6f/Pangaea_italiano.png/350px-Pangaea_italiano.png

if it would be possible to change it would be 5 stars :D[/url]

oh and i think you should give like pre-historic names to the territories :D

So now we have 3 pangea maps in development? Though I guess you can't really count Kayla's- she spent days insulting Marv's map but hasn't realeased a single update on her own.


I have released updates. Oh and this map is looking freaking awesome. Im glad you didnt steal it from someone elses idea like (not saying names), but i think this looks completely awesome. Maybe you should also work on the past pangea, i have a long list of ideas to help you out with.

Well, its pretty obvious that he added names. And, maybe less obvious, an Antarctica-South america attack route. I think thats about it.
Edit: And also, he changed the color of water within the continents.. so they no long match the ocean; however, I think that it was much nicer when they matched.

north america 3 border-10 territories = 3
oceana 3 borders-7 territories = 3
europe 3 borders-9 territories = 3
combine antartica&oceana 3 borders 12 territories = 5

madagascar&south america 4 borders 9 territories = 6
madagascar shouldn't be worth +2 :roll:

I see the south turning out to be the deciding factor in this map. the southern bonuses are a breeze to hold and once you have both you're going to be very hard to stop if you go through south america.

asia should be worth 7

Sorry if im being repetitive:

asia should be 8, 15 territories, 6 borders,
Europe perhaps a 4, it has 9 countries
Madagascar 1, as anyone who starts with it if it were to have a bonus of 2 would gain an immediate advantage.
North America also a 4
in my opinion, ths south is good how it is.
Africa and South America seems good.

I would like to take this oppurtunity to congratulate you on the graphics, some of the best ive seen so far.

I think madagascar should be part of africa, not it's own country. Being a dousche, I should say its not exactly to scale - shuld be smaller and closer to africa.

Also make the south america-asia mountains bigger.

agree w/ molacole-- south is way to easy to hold by far.

It's hard to see if Quebec and Angolia connect.

The graphics are looking sweet, The colours are looking really well done.
