Since the Earth is round, that type of map (can't remember the specific name) is stretched at the top and bottom making the land there look bigger than it actually is.One thing I've never noticed before was just how huge Greenland is. If that map is to scale, Greenland's even larger than Australia.
Exactly. Carthographers have to sacrifice either shape or size. It's become the standard to sacrifice size and to show the shapes properly. This makes greenland look a lot bigger than it really is, and places like Africa and S-America look a lot less significant than they really are. Check out this map (a Peters projection), which shows true surface area.Since the Earth is round, that type of map (can't remember the specific name) is stretched at the top and bottom making the land there look bigger than it actually is.
Those are the Galapagos islands, aren't they? Part of Ecuador.Hay has anyone noticed a small island at the left of S.America?
And also, Greenland looks very big. DOESN'T IT?I'm guessing Lcam is wondering where current servers are and where new servers will be in the future. I'm a little unsure about the European servers (although the Netherlands rings a bell), but the U.S. servers are in Chicago (Justice PUB servers) and New Jersey (haw.kz PUG server). As far as where they'll be in the future, we don't know! It all depends on what hosting opportunities we can find and afford.
Thats not true. Its the way the map is made. In reality India is even bigger than Greenland.One thing I've never noticed before was just how huge Greenland is. If that map is to scale, Greenland's even larger than Australia.
57thRomance, I fill like you are trolling me. ¬.¬See, this is why Google Translate fails. Does he want to know where all the Legions maps take place in the world?
