"Ogygia (Greek: Ὠγυγίη or Ὠγυγία), is an island mentioned in Homer's Odyssey book V as the home of the nymph Calypso, the daughter of the Titan Atlas, also known as Atlantis (Ατλαντίς[1]) in ancient Greek. Calypso detained Odysseus on Ogygia for seven years and kept him from returning to his home of Ithaca. Athena complained about Calypso's actions to Zeus, who sent the messenger Hermes to Ogygia to order Calypso release Odysseus. Calypso finally allowed Odysseus to build a small raft and depart the island."Androidz wrote:Cause i read somewhere, that this was an island (yeah i know calypso was here but he wasent the only1) A Fabled island (A island filled with magical creatures and such) Didint find any other fabled cities. And im thinking of adding a calypso building(terrioe) or something to.
Well i needed an island with fabled creature if you know any other island or get a good name for an island/world then feel free to post it here. Cause at this spot i got none ideas.mibi wrote:"Ogygia (Greek: Ὠγυγίη or Ὠγυγία), is an island mentioned in Homer's Odyssey book V as the home of the nymph Calypso, the daughter of the Titan Atlas, also known as Atlantis (Ατλαντίς[1]) in ancient Greek.

I can't see where your map which is expansive in scope can really fit on this minor island which is essentially a footnote in greek myth.
I thought about bringing that up that too, but decided Ehhh, it's a fantasy map.mibi wrote:I can't see where your map which is expansive in scope can really fit on this minor island which is essentially a footnote in greek myth.
Sure that could work..im sure i can work something out so i that hydra can be placed somewhere and be +1 bonus as cerbrus and titan prison.. And do some small changes on the quote brilliant idea:)Juan_Bottom wrote:I thought about bringing that up that too, but decided Ehhh, it's a fantasy map.mibi wrote:I can't see where your map which is expansive in scope can really fit on this minor island which is essentially a footnote in greek myth.
I agree that something needs to be done about the Mt. Dubbitt territory. Maybe even that whole space. Seems easy enough to hold.
I love the Idea of re-naming Hells Manor! Persephone's Manor is a pretty good name, and includes another recognizable mythic figure on the map! Brilliant!
But, Here's my new thought on Posideon. Since you already have Hades in Hells Arena, Why not just replace the Hydra with Posideon? Rather than having one God floating around out there... And then just bumping Dionysus up to Heaven?
This map has just reached "important" status for me.
You should call it Mythic Realms or something.... anything is better than what you have now. Its like making a desert map and calling "World of Hawaii" or something. I would stay away from place names. Fantasy is one thing, but gross inaccuracy is something entirely different.Androidz wrote:Well i needed an island with fabled creature if you know any other island or get a good name for an island/world then feel free to post it here.

This is a fantasy map based on greek mythology. Now i know some1 make a more realistic one about troy. And im not trying to make it as realistic as that.
Also were working on makeing the map more into the Theme of Calypso island (Exsample: Rafts one way attack to Titans Prison) Mt Odysseus is placed. (Calypse will have a terriorie as i mentioned) and some other things.
So alot of greek mytholgy from every corner is in this map. And alot of fantasy=)
We will make a poll in one week about it.mibi wrote:You should call it Mythic Realms or something.... anything is better than what you have now.

not back burner per se. But I did put a lot of time into this for a week or two and I've got updates to crunch out on my other maps. Running into two large updates at once slows me down. Not sure what the ETA for the update here is. Hurling is next and I should have hurling within a day or two.Juan_Bottom wrote:Is this one on the back burner for a while? Till SEAMUSK get that other map pounded out? What's goin' on fellers? This guy would like an update!

lol we can see what we can do:D (Try resuggestion after the update of we forgot something)bryguy wrote:1) I dont like the orange color at the top of the map. any other color would work better
2) Arena of H. and hades are to cramped together
3) The bridges are very pixely at the circle ends and occassionally the sides
4) what the heck is the red line for? it seems to me to have no purpose... and its not even red! lol its a weird color
5) Also, arena of courage and mi--taur are to cramped together
6) you can hardly read the N and O in minotaur, so it looks like mi--taur
7) Theres not enough room for armies on bernar wood
many territory names spill over borders into other territories
9) some territories (turmanian woods, woodland shrine, dredjav jungle etc) will most likely be to small to fit army numbers on the small versions
10) you can hardly read any of the names in olympus
11) you cant read most of the names in the arenas
12) Keep up the good work =D
lol this is taken right from my imagnation:D i mind is thinking fantasy all the times:)Coleman wrote:I'm a little confused about the origin of this map, but if that's already been taking care of ignore me. I am hopeful that this is just from your imagination and mythology as I'd hate to see this get hung up by copyright infringement.
I'll tell gimil about the next update if you don't. I'm excited to see this move forward.

So the name may yet change? You should probably name it JUAN RULES!
Are there other mythological names in mind?
