Thread: Upside down map

Hybrid View

  1. #1

    Default Upside down map

    Anyone noticed this yet? I have for a while, and just now am bored enough to ask, Who at evony screwed up the map?
    Pic 1
    Lower Lorraine is above Upper Lorraine
    Yet North March is above Lower Lorraine, as far 'North' as you can get

    Pic 2
    Yet going up on the map Decreases the Y value (not true on any right side up coordinate graph)

    so who was it? :P

    Where I live the water in the rivers flows north, i.e. the south is higher than the north.

    Every spreadsheet since Lotus 1-2-3 had its y increase as you go down/southward.

    That Lorraine thing always bugged me.
    Yes, LL has lower map coordinates, but it's NORTH of UL.

    The only argument I see is the ancient Egypt argument. Upper Egypt was in the south, and Lower Egypt was in the north. the reason was twofold. Most importantly, the Nile flows south, so "down-river" was the the lower half. Also, the terrain in Upper Egypt was a bit taller above sea level than Lower Egypt, so it was technically the "higher" half.

    but since there is no real rivers or terrain differentiation like that in Evony, I can't really see that argument being used.

    Methinks you just aswered yourself Rota lol.

    LL has lower map coordinates hense the word "Lower"

    Because something is named "Lower" it doesnt formally have to mean or relate to "south", and the same goes for "Upper" not formally having to mean or relate to "north"

    I know that's the reason. But, it's a bad reason.

    Saxony supposedly has the highest point on the map. (Not coords-based, but pic-based)

    Lower Lorraine and Upper Lorraine are based on their past actual location.

    If they were going by actual past location, Saxony should probably have been placed where North March is. And Tuscany is kinda out of place too.

    Ha lol, I knew some of them were real names, but I did now know that evony just used real-world locations, but that is just me, bad at geography :P
