[QUOTE="aco175, post: 8449808, member: 27385"] A lot of mapmakers and cartographers take a lot of liberty and make assumptions on their maps. If a lord or such wanted a map of the island, they would not be handed that map. Now a lot would be wrong, but half would be good enough. Maybe they took a boat around the island and talked to some natives. They would see a large mountain in the middle and some stories would fill in more, but the end would be more artistic license. It also takes forever to walk through a jungle without roads and rivers. in the daytime it is about 1mile/hour and at night it took us 6 hours to travel 1/2mile. The muddy hills and ravines are filled with vines and thorns that slow everything. There may be sections that are more open, but overall I think it would take a week to explore a hex good enough to know several of the things in that hex. To just pass through a place a tree or hill on the hex may be a whole day. [/QUOTE]
