Default Re: Wrap-around maps suck

Very interesting!

Of course, that was with an assumption about what the shape was. I presume they were assuming it was spherical.

One could make Doms II maps with polar regions to try to simulate a sphere.

However, unless it were an enormous map, it'd be a pretty small sphere.

From an ancient/medieval Earth perspective though, a relatively small flat chunk is perhaps more appropriate and realistic than a sphere. If everyone in the world believes the world is a flat chunk, then for all effects and purposes, it is, until someone discovers otherwise.
