Images of Westeros, somebody make a map out of it!

Placing 2500 individual provinces in a map would take huge amounts of time. I can't see how anyone could finish making a map where thy intend to place 2500 provinces, which i assume one would do if one made the westeroes map playable.

I would probably not play a map of similar proportions, but I imagine there are those who would. But playing might be more rewarding then placing and naming provinces.

The westeroes map doesn't inherently have 2500 provinces. If you look at the boardgame version it has like 50.

It can have as many provinces as the mapper wants it to have. I think 100 or so would fit well on the map.

As much as I love huge maps, and do play 1500 maps, I would advise against increasing the size again. The last increase involved far more than we expected. The game crashed over some of the strangest things and we had to increase many arrays that we did not expect to be affected.

I am definitely a fan of large maps, and thank you Ich for that province count. How did you determine the number approximately? I figured I was over, but fortunately I am OCD enough and love A Song of Ice and Fire enough that I'll just redraw it with fewer provinces Probably on the image you posted too. It's much cleaner, maybe add in some of the labels that are on the image I used. Oh well, back to work.

I counted the white pixels, then rounded towards the next largest number.

To get the number of pixels of any color, you could do the following for example:
- install ImageMagick
- run it like 'identify -verbose Westeros.bmp'
- look for the row titled "(255,255,255) #FFFFFF white" in the color histogram, the number in front is the pixel count

(If you're on *nix: 'identify -verbose Westeros.bmp | grep white')
