A fish in the sea Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Hello guys, As you may or may not know, Cody from the AlternateHistoryHub gave us a challenge: He gave us an empty continent: (This isn't the full version: I had to reduce it from 4.4 MB to 592 KB.) You may see that this isn't the original map. If you want the history of the map, look here. The current layout was made by A fish in the sea. And he gave us a message: See this continent? It's blank. It's up to you to fill in the rest. Create nations, people, a backstory, everything you desire (as long as you don't change the continent's shape). Submissions will be accepted up until May 1st. My top 3 favorites will be featured at the end of Alternate Countries 4. If I get enough submissions, there will be a whole video featuring your entires. Have fun! As Team TWP, we will collectively make the map and at the end of the month, I will send it in to Cody for the contest. But I want to make this special: I want to make contests within this contest. Here's the plan: Every day at 5:30 PM, there will be a new contest. At 5:30 PM the following day, I will decide the winner of the contest and make it official. The next contest will be off of that. Today's contest: Download AHH_Map2.sumo here. Go into Sumo Paint. Open up AHH_Map2.sumo. Add a new layer. Put the deserts, plains, forests, jungles, etc. on the map on the new layer. Save it as AHH_Map_YourName.sumo. Go to MegaFileUpload. Upload AHH_Map_YourName.sumo. Post the link it gives you in the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llamas Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I find this incredibly interesting. I actually was thinking we could instead use this as a map of TWP and develop a history and stuff for it over time... DUN DUN DUN! The problem is then it couldn't be in the contest.

Nox Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 If at any point this becomes the TWP map I'm claiming all those islands to the North Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llamas Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 If at any point this becomes the TWP map I'm claiming all those islands to the North I think those would be in the Arctic, so you'd have an incredibly low population density. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once either the Fan Countries 4, or if there are enough map submissions, the Fan Maps video comes out, we'll use it as the TWP map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nox Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I think those would be in the Arctic, so you'd have an incredibly low population density. Well, Occidius is primarily a colony to benefit the mainland, and likely the Northern ends would be more material-rich, so it'd make sense.

A fish in the sea Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 Ok then guys. Why don't you post your maps? If you want an example, you can see mine here. I'll use it if none of you guys make one of your own by 5:30 PM tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
URAP Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 If this is gonna be a TWP map, I claim that peninsula that looks roughly like the one on which Spain is located. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hariko Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 The Initohsine peninsula, where Hariko is located, hrm...Yeah, it could fit on that peninsula on the coast near the internal sea on the east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fish in the sea Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 1 more hour to make plates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A fish in the sea Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 So guys, since no one wanted to post their tectonic plate map, I posted mine up on the front. Here is the next contest: Today's contest: Download AHH_Map.sumo here. Go into Sumo Paint. Open up the map. Make a new layer. Put the mountains, rift valleys, trenches, etc. on the new layer. Delete the layer which has the plate boundaries. Save the image as AHH_Map_YourName.sumo. Go to MegaFileUpload. Upload AHH_Map_YourName.sumo. Post the URL it gives you here.

Llamas Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Nice plates map, but it's impossible to tell what the arrows mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A fish in the sea Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 Nice plates map, but it's impossible to tell what the arrows mean. There are what directions they are moving in: SW Plate: N Part: 23° (NNE) and SE Part: 45° (NE) S Plate: 0° (N) NE Plate: 45° (NE) NW Plate: -45° (NW) N Plate: 90° (E) NN Plate: -90° (W) M Plate: -135° (SW) NM Plate: 45° (NE) NME Plate: -135° (SW) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've added the lines to the .PNG map, but not the .SUMO map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
