On the mnp scale and game balance

[Skanvak]

Steve already did a spherical map actually, I realized that some time ago :)it only need to be adapted.

Of course we need to keep the flat one as an optional, so why not the original Wif one too?

Say what? I must have missed this spherical map. [&:]

Wow where was I? Can we see this spherical map by Steve?

Not true.

The map is cylindrical, not spherical. The northern and southern portions where distortion would be greatest are not included nor need to be. But you can scroll either east or west endlessly. Edit: ...and excellently.

Steve,

All your reference map are spherical (according to the screen shot I have seen). Of course, they could not be use as it, as several question will rise. But as you show controlled territory, then there is a concordance that could be use as a starting point.

It's impossible to work out what you're trying to say here due to the incorrect English but I think Steve knows what sort of maps he has programmed and to your assertion that "Steve already did a spherical map" he wrote "Not true". That should be pretty clear.

I think Skanvak means the reference maps can be used cylindricaly.

So in a way, in reguards to movement, the reference maps are spherical.

I.E. The maps can be used to circumnavigate the MWiF world.

OEIGINAL: I could be wrong but here is how I read it.

Of course, they could not be used as is, as several question arise.

But since you show controlled territory, then there is a agreement of a starting point (when displaying the maps).

Try running some of the French language sites (don't get me wrong the French language sites are very good sources) through a translation program to get ship information and you can see other nationalities problems with the english language.


The Fleet of French war in 1940 (translated into english).

Everything gets translated even the ship names.

La Flotte de guerre française en 1940 (same site un-translated).

[MajorDude]

Literal:

The French war/naval fleet in 1940.


Looser:

The French Navy in 1940.

French (Navy/naval) warships in 1940.


A lot depends on the context, meta-context, and purpose of the piece to be translated. [:)]



Automatic online translation sites are sometimes really pretty bad for trying to get a good translation. They are often ok for getting the 'gist' of the passage though. Of course, a lot depends on the source material. The better the prose, the better the translation much of the time. Text or tweeter style language, however, can be disastrous or hilarious when auto-translated.

Thanks extraneous, I think you are very close to what I wanted to say. Of course there is not a spherical game map, I know it. I am just trying to make Steve realized that it already have done something close to a starting point for doing one.

And yes, I apologize for the "s" I forget them even in french. Thought I should say that I don't use a program, I wrote from what is left of my english.

No problem with the 's".
