The Pangean age yielded very little in the way of Dinosaurs. Pangea existed when life was new to the earth. There was nothing bigger than an insect, except for some primitive sealife. The Dinosaur theme is to make it interesting, and because your average perosn who has heard of Pangea, will probably associate it with the Dinosaur age, even though it's a few million years before it. Any dinosaur you put up there would be inappropriate. If you are going for realism, put a picture of a dragonfly up there.

how about Volcanoes or a meteorite?

jungles and rivers are good
lakes and waterfalls?

legend in stone
see no problem with the color

If realism is what you are going for than you don't want Jungles. Pangea was mostly grasslands. Trees hadn't evolved yet. There were alot of volcanoes, and would make a good addition. Metorites didn't impact the earth during this time. The atmosphere was very thick during this time, and anything entering the atmosphere smaller than Texas would burn up. After Pangea split up about 300 million yrs ago, meteor impacts happened every few thousand years due to the newness of the solar system. The impacts grew less and less, til the current rate of one impact every 50,000 yrs or so.

gotcha, ill look for a stone slab, i have some saved to my computer, but i need it to be more vertical, and im not sure how it'll look if i turn it sideways hehe, ill look around, any certain kind of rock that would be of interest to you?

LMAO guess what people... marv and i split our project because he didnt want to move back to pangea 11, the 11th version we had done, but now hes agreed to start over from the very beginning, and make one that doesnt have my ideas, meaning no dinosaurs which seemed to be his theme in the other one, but i came up with the dinos, ha ha ha hahaha hahahahahahhahahhahahhahahahhah can anyone say "loser"?

kayla why dont u do something about your map instead of bicker marv?

Kayla · Post by **Kayla** » Sun Jan 21, 2007 3:10 pm

Lone shut the f*ck up, My latest version was done in about 3 days, are you kidding me, it just came out a couple days ago and i just spent 15 hours the last two days studying for college, and not to mention i have classes monday-friday, and a baby to tend to, plus trying to have a life and going out. Im working on the map, i worked on it just last night for about an hour and as you can see, im trying to work out the legend so the letters show up, i guess the rocks wont let me, ive tried two different ones that look good

so anyway, any suggestions? I could go back to the scroll, which showed the letters, but i dont think it fits the theme. so hmm? what do you all think

Lone.prophet · Post by **Lone.prophet** » Sun Jan 21, 2007 3:20 pm

Kayla · Post by **Kayla** » Sun Jan 21, 2007 10:49 pm

I think he means what program are you using to make your map

Molacole · Post by **Molacole** » Mon Jan 22, 2007 1:14 am

negative bonuses kind of suck. I'm not a big fan of the USapoc map because of the radiation deduction so I would prefer to see this map without any. It's you map so you make the call. I guess if it wasn't a huge issue and the map wasn't revolving around the deductions much like USapoc then it wont be too bad though.

If you're going for a dinosaur theme then maybe a foot print in dirt or something like that could be a starter for your legend background.

Kayla · Post by **Kayla** » Mon Jan 22, 2007 1:59 am

wonderful suggestion, ill look into it, and im using diff programs

Kayla · Post by **Kayla** » Mon Jan 22, 2007 2:05 am

gosh i really wish i could have two pollls, i need one saying which for a legend, scroll, rock slab, or dino footprint.... and one saying negative bonus or no, i dont know of another way to make the south less powerful, so the ppl that hate the negative idea bonus, like me, need to think of something ......... oh and on the legend, the dino footprint is an awesome idea, i like this one the most so far so thank you

Very very good suggestions, but I'm going to clear up why the negative bonuses arent like USApoc.

You can't get dealt this negative bonus, this negative bonus is only if you hold a continent in addition to holding india.. so as long as you dont take india then take a continent or vice versa you are safe from the negative bonus.

Its a way to make the south less powerful.

Kayla, just do 1 poll at a time.
Also, Its hard to say without seeing anything but I like the sound of the rock slab. But I know you've been having problems with that. So maybe the dino footprint. Not a fan of the scroll idea at all.

Kayla · Post by **Kayla** » Mon Jan 22, 2007 6:03 pm

scroll is 3rd in line out of 3 so i agree

Teya · Post by **Teya** » Mon Jan 22, 2007 6:21 pm

Someone pointed out earlier on that dinosaurs werent around in Pangea so maybe no dino foot print as well. You want to be as accurate as possible.
