[QUOTE="Lord Zack, post: 5204637, member: 53996"] I am presently working on a map of Kalimdor for a campaign I want to run set in the Warcraft Universe. It's a very large map, meant to be of a "realistic" scale. It's 3x4 sheets, each with 25x30 hexes, with each hex being 30 miles. Some things will be proportionately smaller than they are in Wow, others will in fact be larger. For instance Stonetalon peaks will be much smaller in comparison to the Barrens than it is in WoW. Sithilus will only be a hundred or so square miles and Un'goro Crater will fit into a single hex, but Tanaris dominates most of the southeast portion of the map. However I have run into some problems. For instance, if I put Dustwallow Marsh where it seems it should go, it would take a couple of weeks to get from they're to Durotar. Also to connect Feralas, the Barrens and Tanaris like the Thousand Needles do that region would have to be hundreds of miles long, more than a thousand in fact, and hundreds of miles wide. I am considering expanding those three regions to rectify this somewhat, but it would still end up being much larger then I think it should be. There are also questions that aren't actually problems, like what to put in all the empty space. I deliberately left some areas blank, so I could fill them with whatever I felt should go there. So for instance I have to decide what goes in the northeast area of Kalimdor, since Winterspring takes up only a relatively small area near Mt. Hyjal. I'm thinking an area similar to the Borean Tundra in Northrend, since to two areas were once connected. [/QUOTE]
