[QUOTE="Shades of Green, post: 5029205, member: 3297"] If I'll create my campaign in a wide cluster of islands, I'll probably use 30 miles per hex for the big overview map, and 6 miles per hex for the higher-res individual island maps. The idea is to have the northernmost islands frozen year-long, while the southern islands would have a more temperate climate in the spring and the summer, so there should be some serious distance (unless the southern islands would be warmed by an ocean current coming from the south). The intention is to allow "island hopping" with a small coastal ship or sailing boat, while leaving the sandbox to the open ocean would require, for the very least, an expensive longship and a trained crew, and even then would be quite risky; for really going deep into the open ocean, a carrack or caravel would be needed. All of these options, as well as magical transportation, are expensive and thus limited mostly to the higher levels. [/QUOTE]
