The Sun Will Never Set (Reboot Int. Check)

Hmm.

@Alfhedil

[Willy Vereb]

Look at it! Sooooo pretty!

@Louis Dabout

I may sound a bit like a broken record but I still find the details on the Earth map better.
Though this is indeed a nice map otherwise.

Especially variations like this

My main issue would be that after spending considerable time on it I still have problems to place my nation where it'd fit. This was a no-brainer in Voltus' original map and I found an appropriate place quick on the Earth map, too. I feel there won't be a place for an europe-like small but very diverse power block, either. Though to be fair it's a bit given since I use a situation unique to our world and try to apply it elsewhere. But well, what with WW2 but in fantasy historical pararells are bound to happen.
Also the idea that it'd feel wrong to have dwarves or fantasy elements on Earth is strange when they originated straight from here. Myths telling these races were putting them in our world. Ofc, it would be quite different when said races would make plain obvious governments of their own but well, this is a fantasy themed game. Out of my head I can already mention several games where we used Earth map for fantasy.

[Louis Dabout]

I'm easy peesy lemon squeezy on the maps :D Dw I'll follow what the majority decides. :D

[Skepic]

@Willy Vereb
Yeah, I don't really mind either way, whether we do a real earth map or the one you just put up. (Awesome, btw)

[Voltus_Ventus]

I quite like Willy's map. I think we will role with that. And as for ww2 tech, fine.

[Cyclone]

Well, as far as nations go I'm torn. I could do the Sultanate of Tin again (that radical, extremist, and absolutist hellhole of a monarchy) but I've also been thinking about something inspired by what might have hapened if the Holy Roman Empire survived all the wars that ravaged their land, centralized somewhat, and then underwent massive industrialization. They'd be like modern Russia with a grand history of being a superpower yet now somewhat overshadowed by new superpowers. With a touch of USA-inspired manifest destiny and all.

Anyone want to help me decide?

@Cyclone

I liked your nation a lot but I think a HRE style nation could be similarly fun if not moreso. You can add Austrian/Habsburg elements combined with Prussians and WW1 Germans, too.
Does it mean you'd rather play in an Earth-style map? Asking since the current opinion is very much between that or the world of Ace Combat.

@Voltus_Ventus

It isn't mine. I just posted a version of the same map better fit for nation games.
Although ironically enough I actually support the Earth map more, for reasons I explained.

Bring back those Tinite Scum.

@Willy Vereb

Thanks for the feedback. As in for your question, I remain opposed to an Earth map.

Also the idea that it'd feel wrong to have dwarves or fantasy elements on Earth is strange when they originated straight from here. Myths telling these races were putting them in our world.

This logic starts to crumble when you extend it to say that Jedi, the Borg, giant green slimeball aliens, the blue people from Avatar, and anything else that has ever been conceived would fit in great on an Earth setting, just because humans imagined them.

Look, when you say elves I think of Lord of the Rings or World of Warcraft, not Earth. All I'm saying is that I'd find an Earth setting really strange in this context and I don't think I'm the only one.

Then there's the part where I dislike excessive parralelism to real life in a story. While the theme of an altered history with our fantasy nations instead of real ones might be appealing to some, it isn't to me and I don't think that's what was intended as the genre for this.

@Cyclone

I really can't see your point. Earth is only the location. Just because fantasy races leave on it that doesn't mean the landscape should be wholly different.
You treat it as if since we occupy the same land it's predestined to develop the same way.
Also real life parallels are inbound regardless so why not give people to have a chance to put their fantastic japan in Japan, even if the place is now called Yamatai.

Personally I'm thinking of making Yllendthyr occupy the Iberian Penisula and though the story is of course still tentative the natives found in Brazil would be mostly fairies as per my cooperation with other player.

[Voltus_Ventus]

Stop arguing! The end decision is mine to make anywho.

@Voltus_Ventus

I thought that it was already made and that we're using that fantasy map that Willy posted.

He asked so I explained; it's not a big enough deal to be worth a continued argument so it'd probably be best if you just decided now.

[ClocktowerEchos]

@Voltus_Ventus

Well, what is your final decree then?

[Voltus_Ventus]

Fantasy map.

[rush99999]

Room for 1 more?

[Theodorable]

I'm interested!

Here are a few maps of my own making that I can put political borders on top of.

[Willy Vereb]

Room for 1 more?

@rush99999

Hopefully we have plenty rooms. It's planned that nations in general would be smaller than before.
Albeit one of the themes is colonialism which means aside from a "power block" in one or two of the continents the rest will be less advanced and somewhat subverted to all the great powers.
Doesn't mean you can't take those territories. You just need to devise a plot involving present or former colony/province/vassal state which is overall less advanced.
But well, we'll see how things go.
For now it isn't even completely set which map are we'll be using in the game.
Voltus declared that we'll be using a fantasy map and it's most likely the ace Combat one which I posted.
Otherwise I have no idea.
@Voltus_Ventus
BTW, if we decided on the map can we begin with the OOC?
while my fixed profile is still in progress it'll be done as soon as I get a good incentive/inspiration.

[Theodorable]

I would like to play the Asiatic Empire of Fusan, so long as there is an Asiatic continent in which to do so.

The map I posted above I just made up fairly quickly, but regardless of which map is used (so long as it's not an Earth map), should be fun so long as it is adequately sized and contains a European, African and Asiatic setting.

@Theodorable

Dammit, I wanted to rename Yamatai to Fuso. This will get interesting XD

@ClocktowerEchos

Well, if the game map is ultimately decided to be the Earth map, I will simply retract my interest in the game. So, we'll see what happens.
