@TheDog Is there a way to change the title. I am radically switching this project's goal to something else

TheDog

@board-3659
The title of this thread, edit your first post and at the top change the title.

@thedog thanks a lot ... anyway this idea might return but I'm switching it to another one I got

@board-3659 Do you like this map?

board 3659

@rogercooper While interesting ... it's not great for my game. I think making the map is better since I'll be using pretty much all of North America

board 3659

So I'll make a list of various civilizations/factions that are to be included once the mapgame starts in AH.Com. It will be edited here in these regions.
Current Turn of Mapgame: Turn 1
Acadia
PvZ2 Dark Age Zombies- Unlike most depictions of Zombies, PvZ's depictions show them being roughly human intellect and are reanimated corpses, not infected beings. Probably smarter than LOTR Orcs tbh especially since they have decent magic so I think it's fine.

Alaska
Stuqikiv- Homebrew fantasy nation in Alaska that is inhabited by Bogatyr. (See the Wiki page on the Folk-Lore)*

Appalachia

Artic Islands

Canadian Prairies

Central America

Central Mexico

Cordillera

Deep South

Great Basin

Great Lakes
Minecraft Villagers- Idk why I think they could be interesting here. They could be a cool faction or a minor that can be aligned. We shall see.

Gulf Coast

Greater Antilles

Hudson Bay

Lesser Antillies

Mid Atlantic

Midwest
Mongols- Yeah I am probably adding them here. Yes with Genghis Khan. I think it's balanced though with fantasy nations existing so while a large nomadic nation is likely, I don't think it will stretch from Shining Sea to Shining sea personally

New England

Pacific Coast
Byzantium- Yeah I think this one is a must given the well-known story in AH.Com about Constantinople in 1453 being brought to America's Pacific Coast.

Pacific Northwest

Quebec

Rocky Mountains

Upper South

US Southwest/Mexican North

West Canadian Shield

Yucatan

It looks long and tbf it is but that's mostly to sort the locations and I might later on shrink the list later ... who knows

RogerCooper

@board-3659 I think you mean alternatehistory.com. From that site.

board 3659

@rogercooper yes ... I am planning on doing a Mapgame (basically taking turns bringing in various groups of people from different worlds and writing about them)

This game is basically meant to be for once it's it has enough nations to have roughy alignment of factions

@board-3659 said in In a Land Far Far Away: Medieval Crossover Game in America Thread:

Yeah so basically am thinking of making a 1990s 2nd American Civil War map for something I did on AH.Com with some people. I am curious if there is any map with the US (hopefully with Alaska and Hawaii but their not too necessary IMO). I can use the Zombieland US Map but it's not the most ideal IMO since I need more spaces (something closer to Civil War: House Divided quantity though that one won't work either IMO)

So yeah I'm planning on having a Battle of Arda style map but on North America. It's a Medieval Crossover ISOT thing I am going to eventually do on AH.Com so yeah

ISOT? Is it a post-apocalyptic scenario bringing humanity back to medieval technology levels or what else?

board 3659

@cernel ISOT is an acronym that means Island in the Sea of Time. It's a book about the Island of Nantucket bring brought back to the Bronze Age. Think of it like a Western Isekai but focused on time travel instead of going to another world. Anyway, people use this acronym in Alternatehistory.com to describe stories with the same sort of premise
