About This File

VERSION 2 !!

This is a proportionaly accurate map of the whole of Scandinavia, plus the bordering countries of Russia, and north eastern Europe. Features the countries of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland. The scale is accurate, but the topography is at the very best, a stylised representation.

The map is NOT of the default size - please bear this in mind if you wish to create your own config.

The map has been modified, as I feel there must be limits even when stylising a region, I have flattened Denmark, to make it a little more realistic, and have softened many of the peaks that were in the original map, I trust this will be more playable.

I foresee a potential problem however !! On a map of this scale, its possible that there will be 150 ft tall Viking Warriors running all over the place - the Swedes, Danes, and Finns, are not going to be too happy about that lol - The British across the North sea will probably panic a little too hehehehe

I think what you mean is the proportions are accurate. The scale is definately not accurate or the map would be way too big for any pc to run.

pjot - I think I am going to have to flatten Denmark a little, since when has Esberg sat on a cliff top ?? lol. Miguel - the definition of scale is all parts being proportional to the original by a given factor, so your comment is nonsensical. Thx to everyone else for the nice comments :-)

There is a lot of seas. I would normally get rid of the unnecessary tiles (like the areas were there is only water) in my config.bmp.

Thankyou for that comment Vester, turning the map to align the land masses is exactly what I am doing with my upcoming map of New Zealand :-)

pretty nice.and taking away the north sea would be stupid if you are going to recreteate the whole scandinavia(gotta love it!). the northsea is full of oil rigs.

Oh dear Glenni, we do not want to rip the oil rigs out of the North Sea !! Scandinavia and UK would sink if we did - straight down the plug holes lol

The rendering is excellent, Justin. But I don't think that this is scale-accurate. This region is around 18 by 18 km, which is an area certainly not bigger than rhode island.

Scandinavia is impossible to fit on my screen at a scale of 1 to 1 ............ This is a game, true accuracy of anything, is impossible to achieve. Not even a conventional atlas is accurate, at the very best it is a graphical, two dimensional, REPRESENTATION.

The category of accurate scale maps is rather ambiguous. This map is a 99% accurate scaled down map of a 100% undisputedly accurate satellite image. The scale used by SC4 however is a lot smaller. So this map and hundreds of other "accurate" maps on the STEX are not compliant with the scale of SC4.

But then neither are the vast majority of BATS and Lots on the STEX ........ this is a game, pure fantasy - accept it.

How many times have you seen 30 foot giant people walking past the local store in SC4, or a 40 foot giant who supposedly works in a mall with a 40 foot roof ???? Accuracy ??? Non existant in SC4.
