A suggestion:
Terra Nova is not a planet close by rectangle borders, so open the map all around.

You're suggesting eliminating the 'wrap-around' effect and just saying that the available square represents the portion of the planetary surface that happens to have land and people on it? I'd have to vote against that; their 'continental' association is fairly deeply tied into how I've been working on the Croatoans, and shearing off their starting location as an island or subcontinent would be extremely inconvenient to me, or require moving the starting zone, which'd be extremely inconvenient to everybody.

Jef, the planet is not a square... it's a flat projection of a sphere, just like a Mercator projection.
The continents connect just like Asia on a Mercator centered on North America, like so:

That is just a suggestion to have more open seas.
Interresting for naval operations.

So, the map with America center cut really the "Blue Planet" in 2 parts.
This kind of design is not cool for our futur naval histories.

It seems there is momentum here. I want to play too. :)

So thinking ahead, I'm willing to declare N4 stillborn, and move on to "N5", which is this concept. I'd like to clean up the website (again).

I'm probably going to delete empty N4 encyclopedias. Does anyone who populated their N4 encyclopedia want what's there to live on?

Meh, go ahead. Nothing really significant in there yet anyway.

It's getting awfully quiet here... Rocky, are you all right?

So, what is missing to start? (imo):
  • army rules
  • the first (two) tech level/generations
  • general tech rules
  • gun and weapon rules
  • placement of our cities on the map (I don't think we need the detailed map to start)
  • details on the "city specials"

    Did I miss something?

Just got a case of mid-winter blah right now.  I'll see if I can pull it together.

I've had a rough month- cats were possibly exposed to Feline Leukemia, 2 migraines in 2 weeks, and trying to spend time with family/friends at the holidays. Not really happy with the results of 2012 so far.

Will try and pull myself together this week- and hopefully have some useful map work done soon... cause Mardi Gras is coming.

What?  I thought I had until December...

Damned Mayans.  Just for that, they will exist in this sim, and they will have the worst kind of luck.

Nothing has been fixed so far - as far as I know.
