Just wondering what people think of this, it is set in the late stone age when, while there wasn't an ice age, the sea levals were much lower, this created a lush land in the north sea whare the majoritly of people lived.

I like the idea but Dogger has a rather rude meaning in the UK at least... I know its the genuine name but perhaps something different would be a good idea to save ridicule.

I know... And if you are a person who partakes in dogging you are a _____

Or at least its widely used in Yorkshire and in Leicestershire (don't know about the rest of the country)

since theres a bit of intrest and newcastle still hasnt sent me the latest scotland map i might try a basic do-up of this

Balsiefen · Post by **Balsiefen** » Sat May 05, 2007 3:43 am

Ok ive started with a first draft to see how it would work, ive added a few continents but i couldnt get any colours looking good so their in grayscale for now

Continents:
Britain
Doggerland(or any politer name

)
Europe
Denmark
Norway
Scotland

Ive been wondering how to do territory namesfor this map as its set in the stone age, So far its eather:
*Modern names (underwater featurs or old landscapes for doggar)
*Roman names for native tribes (still underwater features old landscapes for doggar)
*Land features (hills, rivers, moors present in that time)
*Mixture

Edit: is there any way to turn this into a new poll?

I thought this was a joke thread when I saw it... amusing!!

Good luck with the map - I like the idea...

Naming wise - are there no names from those times? Can you find a map with any names? If not use modern ish names - and try and find some names of parts of the north sea for Dogger.

I don't think you should have continents for this map. You should instead have 'capitals', like ideal places for cavemen to settle (near rivers, etc.).

good idea, that would make it different

Fonts easy, i can change that in seconds, which bit is pixelated?

Edit:Legend i will add onto the side of the map once its sorted out, any ideas for bonuses?

I'd contemplate adding a sea route from the Vikings to Dogger Fens or similar?

I thaught of that but doggar has 5 borders already, that would make it almost impossible to hold

I'm using Gimp, unfortunatly it only has 1px or 3px brush, however theres a good tool that might make it look less pixelated

gimil · Post by **gimil** » Sat May 26, 2007 5:29 am

its an impossible one to hold any. no harm in puttin in anther boarder

i was thinking of taking away borders rather than adding

mabye i could split it into two

anyway ive found a way to make borders better

gimil · Post by **gimil** » Sat May 26, 2007 5:36 am

spliting it to 2 sounds better
