Not really. I used to draw detailed and MUCH larger maps of imaginary worlds - those took days and days to make.

This one was done in under 40 minutes.

I lived in Syllable for a while, too. I was actually working at the same company as the guy who created AtheOS, from which Syllable was forked.Edited 2008-03-13 10:10 UTC Thu, 13 Mar 2008 10:09:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (MORB) Comments Microsoftlandia? http://osnews.com/thread?304880 http://osnews.com/thread?304880 Windows?

Actually, I can't quite work out if Adelaide is in the eastern part on that map or the west. I'm guessing the west as the divider looks like it follows the South Australian borders...

Wonder if I should print this and try playing... I'm sure I can finally get OS X to dominate the world - Fri, 14 Mar 2008 07:11:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (thavith_osn) Comments Focus Shift http://osnews.com/thread?305018 http://osnews.com/thread?305018 I think I'm doing a focus shift myself too.
