Only problem, it's not available IC. On the day the map was finished the two characters carrying it were slaughtered by some tourists. They both destroyed all map material before dying.
I seriously doubt that it's still possible to make a similar map of Aki.

I'm glad I didn't see the map. Although I'd really love to see the whole cantr map, I know I wouldn't have as much fun in Cantr while I'm exploring because I'd already know where everything is.

It does take a lot of the fun out, knowing how all the areas match together etc

hence my dreams of blobs of colour on a poster. No names, too small for the black pixels to show, just rough ideas, and if you happen to recognize which island your character is on, kudos to you.
The drawback would be if you DID recognize a place, you'd have a vague idea of where the woods and mountains are..and thus potential resource havens. :?: :?:

I'd just want to know how long it'd take to hit an island if I took off straight from the shore...

I had one that took like 100 days in a sloop, then hit an island where the towns had no resources. Then he wandered around to a new island with no apparent places to dock. Afterwards he got warped and was actually sailing across a continent for a few days.

But NOW, he's on a brand new island/continent and discovering that he doesn't like rhinos much.

I suppose I'll find out eventually. Got a guy going due north. :lol:

That'd be poor RP. I'm separating my characters from their player :lol:

I had a character try that. He eventually bumbed into the largest island I have heard of. He has been sailing around it with his sloop for over 200 days now (a long time in a fast boat), and I think he is about halfway. In another 10 years or so, he will have circumnavigated that island! :D

Totally. I have even managed to find a few places to dock. Lots of interesting animals and resources, but no signs at all of even people passing through. No notes, buildings, resources, buildings, machines, upgraded roads, or even any started projects. There are not even any abandoned boats as far as I can tell, although I did run into a german galleon with attached longbaot that was anchored off of the shore. As of then, they hadn't landed yet.

I myself have no idea of the expanse of the Cantr world, which ties in nicely with the fact that all my characters know less than me!

It's be interesting to just know the proportions in relation to Real World measurments.
