South-Up Map Orientation: (Idea up for grabs)

Post by isaax05 »

Map Name:South Up World
Mapmaker(s): This is really an idea for anybody to take up, I really do not have any the skills necessary to make a map
Number of Territories: ?
Special Features: ?
What Makes This Map Worthy of Being Made: A world map made using the South Up map style orientation. It would be nice to make another world map, but from a different perspective than what's the cultural norm.

Neither do I, but I am trying to make a map myself. It's fun and you do learn the basics quite fast. There are tons of tutorials both on this forum, other fora or youtube.

"Team Chat A: Quick, everyone move North next turn, I won't be able to check in before your turns, so good luck!
Team Chat B: Wait, do you mean natural North? Or map North? Help! Help!
Team Chat C: I'm moving West! Or East...
"
