Projecting the surface of a roughly spherical object onto a plane is going to create distortions somewhere, certainly so when presenting everything in a contiguous fashion. Just have to keep track of where north is otherwise as you note 100 miles from point A to Point B is still 100 miles, no matter how it';s drawn.
Not the most amazing for insight here but: pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteBeing the map-maniac I am, I had to go back and read your post on map projections.
That projection does make it look a bit weird, I'll give you that.
ReplyDeleteSure doesn't affect the use of the map in the game, however.
