New Lands aren't made every day. IIRC, the shape of the world map hasn't changed in a long time. Not all of it is completed, as far as animals and resources etc. go, but it's all there.


Actually, according to the 'zine, 'tis finished.

Yeah, Nick. Read!

Rumours are abound of people arriving at locations with no resources, no exits, no animals ... or ships sailing endlessly along coasts without any place to dock. This will all be over now - large areas that were still unfinished by the New Lands Department are now (almost) finished.

Space Exploration's a stupid idea.

What would be the point of a unicycle? You can carry even less on a unicycle then you can on a bike, and a unicycle is not particularly faster then walking (thanks to it not being geared at all). So you would just end up with a massive waste of metal.

How about a scooter? Or has it been suggested....

Trains?

How about making the "vehicles" manufacturing page actually say if the thing is a road vehicle, a sea vehicle, or a sky vehicle, so those of us who are kind of ignorant don't sit around wondering why a "raker" isn't listed under "tools."

All vehicles that require some amount of wood and no rubber are boats. The rest are for land.

Caravel (I think that's how its spelt), takes the same ammount of wood as a clinker built longboat but will hold more and move faster, however it should require adavnced tools like a adze, chisel and saw to make.

They travel faster as the planks for a smooth side instead of overlapping.

Absolutely no response from a staff member? Was it such a bad idea?

I think it would be good for Cantr. *shrugs* I'd at least like it to get some staff evaluation...
