Map Posting Guidelines for the CWP

[industrygothica]

Hi all

Its important that we get a common naming convention for maps at this stage so we can keep proper track of this beast. The map hierarchy is as follows: [Region], [Map], [Location],[Site]. Each of these is afforded a number.

The Region that is the subject of the first landgrab is imaginatively known as [1]. The various areas that were chosen by individual mappers are also numbered. I am doing Map 13 so my map is properly described as Region 1, Map 13 - Choam.

When you go to the next level down [Location] you will use a number that is the highest one not yet taken. Therefore if I want to map a town in Ravs' area [12] and none other has yet been mapped on his map, I would describe my map as Region 1, Map 12, Location 1 - Baldur's Gate (for example).

You must start a new thread whenever you start a new map, whatever the level. This way those putting together the wiki will be able to reference the maps properly and we wont get duplication of map. If everyone sticks to this system we should manage fine.

This will make things much easier indeed. However, surely you see the confusion coming after more regions are opened up, and region 1 is smack in the middle of four others?

Yes, but by then hopefully the regions themselves wil be household names and numbers will be meaningless .
