A question, if I may...

Post by Shyriath »

If one looks at the Isle of Benacia in more recent versions of the map, one sees a city on the island labeled "Benacia City" that was not present in earlier versions of the map (at least, not during the time that I've been watching the MCS personally).<br>
<br>
I was wondering if the cartographers could tell me the reason for its sudden appearance? Is it something carried over from maps from the distant past and restored to its former position, or did someone request it to be put there?<br>
<br>
I ask because I have a little culture going for the island, and some number of maps that I'm working on, and I'm trying to figure out if I should change my plans at all.

Ask Bill. He's the one that sent me the latest maps of Shireroth. He claimed to have authorisation. So who knows.... It's Bill after all... <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rolleyes --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/eyes.gif ALT=":rolleyes"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

Actually, Kaiser Los III <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>did</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> appoint me as Shireroth's Geographic Surveyor. Plus, Shireroth's map still is out of date even after I sent you the latest maps. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :P --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/tongue.gif ALT=":P"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>
<br>
Either way, I did not make the city. Map version 6.78 ( <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.geocities.com/microcartograp ... <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> ) shows this Benica City existing before I had made any changes to the Shirerothian portion of the map. (My first major work was the ASC 215 map, which would lead to the Kildare cities being added.) So no, I have no clue where the city came from.

So in other words, nobody knows. Lovely. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :b --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/tongue.gif ALT=":b"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> I knew I should've asked back when I first noticed it.<br>

Digging through my memory banks (in my head I mean...), I seem to recall the city appearing after some conference or another was held in Shireroth...

Something like that, yes.

I would've thought that the Commonwealth would be involved... except that I'd been under the impression that the appearance of Benacia City on the map occurred rather later than the actual existence of the Commonwealth itself. At least, I seem to recall the city appearing sometime after I became Count of Benacia, and I first popped into Shireroth after the Commonwealth and Tymaria had been slowly congealing from "old news" into "history" for a long while. Hmm.<br>
<br>
Is there any way to tell what date v6.7.8 was published on?<br>
<br>
Edit: It couldn't have been too long ago in the big scheme of things. It has the new polar islands, as well as Cibola (which seems to have appeared only one version previous, in 6.7.7).<br>
<br>
Edit the second: Come to think of it, a lot of other cities appear in the same area in 6.7.8, most of them in Yardistan. The ones based on my map of Amity and Mirioth, the ones for the County of So-Sara... the ones for Florencia, which I assume Caesar Augustus came up with while he was in Shireroth...
