North will go into endless Polar Ice.
South will go into endless Ocean.
East and West will go into Terra Incognita (blackness).
East and West allow us to expand the world, if we need to - and may well get coastlines and ocean.
South allows us expansion into a Southern Hemisphere - and perhaps even new continents...
But for the moment this is what there is.
Best,
SC

Cool map but it begs the question, what's west, north, and east of us? |
Don't believe the post above. I know what is west, north east and south.

If there were oceans around the edges it would end the illusion that the world would be incomplete, but rather the map of the entire world and the E-W oceans are one ocean.
Just a suggestion

And there may well be in the fullness of time. But not now

SC you spoke before about there being trade and war in the oceans which will be great and add levels to the game - but will their be anything in the ice then? Or on the the tundra's and wastes?
I accept that we'll always be workin on trade route based trade - makes sense and adds intensity :)
But i cant imagine that handicapping or benefits those in the south so massively would be fair.
Even if its just something simple like those who live in the tundra/ice can travel easily across it, but foreign forces unused to the wealther suffer losses to natural or travel with restrictions :)
But hey - maybe you've already thought of this? :)
Im just curious where we of the north stand? :)

good point.Much of the questions and answers have naturally been directed towards the south,where the ocean is.I understand biomes havent been introduced yet,but when they do I cant imagine many players moving to the north,and the ones that are there(myself included) may not find it to their liking.
Will there be any good reasons for staying in the North,or will Illyriad players slowly migrate to the South?

There will be balanced (but different) benefits to being in the North vs being in the South.
A lot of excellent ideas have come from you goodly players recently - and many of these will see production.

Can we start naming the different part of the map?

Think we should wait with naming, until we know, which biomes will be set there

I'm sure the Devs are looking forward to filtering out 100s if not thousands of names.
More then half of em being blatantly from other media and another good chunk being lulz submissions.
