Zealandia AD 202020

I know we used to have another map that had players names on it before. Realm of Honored Players.

Well, let's say regions named after a player who has won a tournament can be a cool idea in the end. I like "8 Kingdoms" better than "Allegiance" for sure, but there is an inconsistence with region names: only one of them is actually called "kingdom", the others being: "alliance", "federation", "dominion"... and so on. [quote=Hoodlum] [spoiler=current region names]Antarctica [b]Nation[/b] Divain Indies [b]Alliance[/b] Doire [b]Kingdom[/b] Focus [b]Federation [/b] Malayensis [b]Dominion[/b] Rampant [b]Empire[/b] Seven [b]Sovereign[/b] Tyrolean [b]Dynasty[/b][/spoiler] *maybe regular tournaments of the map with the prize being a kingdom named after you. eg: Hoodlum Nation it would show up on the game log anyway, i think players would get a buzz outta that. a region name can represent the most recent 8 winners of the map tournament.

i actually considered 8 kingdoms, but i also had a [url=https://i.imgur.com/5AC7I53.jpg]9 kingdoms [/url]project. but if we went for 8 Kingdoms, it's easy enough to change the region names in the cart panel. the current ones are just temporary, im not too sure i like Allegiance now since u said it sounds like a company, cause now i think so too. today I like Guild Wars/ Guild World / World of Guilds :) [spoiler][img]https://i.imgur.com/Ey0PSRR.png[/img][/spoiler] *edit - [url=https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/List_of_maps]maybe not[/url]

Zealandia?

[quote=Virtuosity98]Zealandia?[/quote] yeah, i like that actually. i've come across a few articles about it in recent years. here's more [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zealandia] info [/url] [spoiler][img]https://i.imgur.com/0V1pMRI.jpg[/img][/spoiler] [url=https://i.imgur.com/0V1pMRI.jpg]100% view[/url]

Oh I didn't realise Zealandia was a real name... Maybe it shouldn't be used because this isn't actually a map of Zealandia... I don't know :)

Guild wars seems fitting enough

Axobongo via pvt message. Zealandia Ha,, this is a fine name! lol. have you thought to add the date? 20,200 A.D. ? there is something very cool about that original idea. so far, it seems a good map, epic complexity of thought demanded. i like that. --- i had thought of adding AD 20200 -have added it in

Yep, it's a nice name for me. Thanks Axo. I won't make a war for just a digit, but also 202,020 AD -- as suggested by Aero -- was nice. But I don't know, maybe Axobongo has a specific reason to prefer 20,200 AD.

I've just realized that as it is now it's only a date, not being part of the map-name, but probably it should be: the same has applied to historical maps: Africa 1890, Europe 1814, ... Zealandia 20200. [size=12px][Brécourt Manor and WWII could have the date too, but it is not really needed because they are in fact names of (or reffering to) historical events.][/size]

zealandia is a proposed name given (since the 1990's) to the drowned microcontinent that supposedly exists around new zealand some 150 million years ago. Today, 94 per cent of Zealandia lies underwater – if we drained the oceans, we could see it unfurling some 4.9 million sq km across the South Pacific. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12341767 i'm imagining this map to be a futuristic southern hemisphere of earth, where exists is a collective of nations called zealandia shaped through the antarctica melt and tectonic shifts that created new sea lands that emerged from a once submerged continent. :) i dunno lol

nice map when it can be played

take a look at another wonderful map. all the best for the guys for the hard work.

I still feel it's too near in the future to have had so much land movement, but want to keep it on the 2020 theme, mainly because this year is going to go down in world history alongside other very memorable years that affected most of the world's population. I suggest changing the title to Zealandia 202020. I am happy then for the map to go live.
