Middle earth map

Postby suprisefish on Mon Feb 07, 2011 2:42 pm

This was an idea that I thought up whilst playing CC. Here is the info.

First draft of map setup. I used the GIMP to create the image. The graphics would need to be redone but this is the basic layout of the map. I was thinking that the graphics would have to be old fashioned looking. One of the things I love is Lord of the Rings and I noticed that there was no LOTR map on CC. I thought this would be a really good idea.

Original proposal
Number of territories: 59

Thanks for reading the first draft and please post your comments.

if you'd use the search function you would have seen this has been suggested before.

there is a little thing called copyright © that prevents this site from having a map called Middle Earth.

Why can't it be called middle earth? Tolkien died long enough ago for his work to be public domain.

There is already a map of middle earth with another name. It's called Midgard.
