Technically, that would be easier. Just take a galaxy map, and put things in random locations. Who is to tell are they right or wrong? >.> Also random fun fact, the last world visited in TRS2 (pre-epilogue) is an actual space co-ordinate (unless I fudged it up which is highly plausible). It's basically the very tip of Sagitarius arm if I recall correctly.
Thankfully in fantasy world that is on par with medieval times on tech, even if there's magic, you can just make very simple and rough maps. No need for too much detail, accurate maps were not a thing until surprisingly recent times, and in some cases the governments spread maps with false details. Reason for those false/extremely inaccurate details was usually to hope your enemy believed those maps and tried to attack from a route that puts them in bad position.
You are overestimating my ability to even draw a straight line...
Good news, those maps don't need straight lines.You are overestimating my ability to even draw a straight line...
Where are your maps now?Good news, those maps don't need straight lines.
As long as it's not the American west, most maps don't have a lot of straight lines.You are overestimating my ability to even draw a straight line...
Or old colonized nation, those straight borderlines are still causing shitshow.
US/Canada border.
That's because in the old days, borders were drawn with terrain features in mind. Basically what is good landmark for border, that was chosen when the borders were drawn. Rivers, mountains etc... were ideal in use for border landmarks. Of course the stronger nation usually had heavy influence in how those landmarks were chosen etc....US/Canada border.
But in the old days borders were more like the Star Trek TOS neutral zone than sharp lines.
Amazing when you think that around 14 U.S. states are (in their entirety) north of the southernmost point of mainland Canada (Point Pelee on Lake Eerie - south of Detroit)
Ahahah, it's nice to know you thought about it before.
Ignore these guys who could easily draw maps themselves and give us more story pls.
us drawing map with the infos we have isn't the same as having the map the devs knows of. And btw he jhust released an update let him rest for a bit before asking for moreIgnore these guys who could easily draw maps themselves and give us more story pls.
I'm not pestering him for something he's trying not to do at least.let him rest for a bit before asking for more
Not really. Not at the start, anyway. All map making starts from somewhere. Star Trek? Earth, you pin that on map, put the nearest real star systems you want, then basically throw darts at the map and where ever the dart lands is system for X species. Star Wars is basically the same. Coruscant is hub of the Republic/Empire, it is a core word (kinda literally since it was close the galactic core) that's your starting point. Then you just do the same. Unless you have specified the distances, then it is slightly more annoying, but not really a problem.
