Continental Drift

Post by army of nobunaga »

Has anyone ever thought of doing a map of the continental drift?


Like you know how new world map links old world with the new world? I think it would be cool if each epoc period of time, linked to certain points.. In a map like this as the basis

Cool idea, you could have 2 or 3 points that link to all the other eras, like one at each pole and maybe one at the equator.

yeah and there are better maps out there... but like old epoch africa, to middle, to present time could all be linked, as well as all the other countrys..

And to own all 3-5 areas of the globe in the diff epochs is the bonus.

Reminds me of the Time & Place map... it had all the continents in 4 different times I think. It was very similar to this idea... try searching it from the recycling bin.

A really cool Idea, maybe instead of marketing it as "continental drift" you could call it something like, Earth Jurassic period. Something like that where you pick a specific point in Earths Geological history... you know what I'm gonna a dig up an old map I never finished of a prehistoric Earth. It's not something I intended as a conquer club map, but it might give you some idea's.

I'd really like to see that time&place map developed. Maybe you could ask widowmakers for permission to take over the project?

it could even be simplified to pangea, past and present.... Sometimes, Oftentimes, Simple is better.

And I was thinking the bonus system would stretch between time period. Ie you have to hold any 3 of the 6 greens in Pangea,past,present for a +3 bonus.

Aha! I finally found it! This isn't exactly geologically accurate (at least Laurasia isn't, Gondwanaland I think is reasonably close) but maybe it'll help give you.
