I guess sometimes it's too easy... I looked over that page several times and didn't see that function.

Jep, that would be the way to go.


I don't know if it automatically comes out in english for you guys, since i created it in german.
If it doesn't, the language can be changed at the bottom of the Page.

Ok, we've been discussing the Date for our first Map discussion... that seems a bit weird, does it not ??

Anyways...

it's supposed to take place some day in the last two weeks of February, starting at around 3pm Eastern US time (hey, we europeans want to participate as well  )

Those who want to join, please mark your available dates here: http://www.doodle.com/bvki5848gi7fk2uf

The discussion will take place in our, oh-so-wonderful , newly formed chatroom

I've changed the Server, please notice the changes in the original post.

The Web interface link remains unchanged.

Ok. I'm looking. I just wish we had a chat room where we could all get together and hash this thing out. Everytime we look at the map, there are several different ideas about the locations of Ceres, Atticus, Kalare, Elinarch, Alera Imperia, etc.

Darn

Ok, some thoughts on the last Map.

I think Attica has to bee farther east.

• The Way its positioned right now, to get to Ceres Kalarus would have had to eiter a) move very close past Attica, or b) cross the Tiber at the Elinarch. Both of wich are highly unlikely.

As i understand it, the Elinarch should be on Ceresian territory.

• The holders Tavi meets, when first riding out to scout out the Canim, were expecting ceresian Legions.

I always pictured the Tiber running North of Ceres. (don't exactly know why, but thats the picture i had in Mind)

Placidian territory needs to reach further south, especially closer to Ceres.

• The Blackhills are at the southernmost end of placidian territory. Plus it only took the placidian Legions one day to get from the edge of placidian territory to Ceres.

What i dont get with the Blackhills, is how Aquitanes Legions cold be the ones to "crush the Legions holding the passes coming down from the Blackhills" as mentioned by Bernhard at the end of CuF.

Now while i write this, i get confused...

By assaulting the western foothills of Parcia, and diverting the Gaul to the Floodplain, One of K.'s legions managed to take control of the Blackhill Passes.(See CuF) Meaning that the Blackhills need to be near Parcia. That in addition would mean that Placidian territory needs to reach as far south as well, since the Blackhills are at the southern tip of Placidian territory.

Somehow the whole sections about the troop movements are kind of confusing to me. My main problem being that we don't have any hints as to where Attica actually is. Is it south or north of Parcia... The whole thing gets simpler if its south of Parcia, but that doesn't make sense in several other instances.

Ok, now my head hurts... i'll have to think all this over again. Hope i'm not to confusing to anyone else *g*

So here is what just came to mind when i looked at the maps.

Why is that the Tiber is always running through Alera Imperia? In CaF they have to sail to the Gaul to get to the capital. If the Tiber ran past there, why would they do that, they could just have gone up the Tiber, without the detour.

Keep up the good work. :-)
