[NOT CANON] Finished World Map of Equestrian Earth · 7:46pm Aug 29th, 2013

Not too bad if I do say so myself.
Btw, I figured that the brown areas are actually mountainous areas, and not deserts.
Which is perfectly fine by me. ^_^

Equestria - Equestria (Ponies)
Magistrum - Magistrum (Mixed Population of Species)
Zebrica - Africa (The Zebras and the Lions)
Eagleland - England (Griffins/Gryphons)
Hooviet Russia - Soviet Russia (The Goats and the Minotaurs)
Saddle Arabia - Saudi Arabia (Horses)
Mareasia - Asia (The Tigers and Pandas)
Neighpon - Japan (Kirins/Qilins)
Badlands - Badlands (Dragons)

Crystal Empire - Canada (Crystal Ponies/Cananeighdians)

Resisting urge to make "In Hooviet Russia joke".:pinkiecrazy:

1315983
Land of the Goats and Minotaurs.

who lives in magistrum?

1315994
It's the previous land of the Three Pony Tribes. Taken back from the Windigos by Celestia and her army after the reign of Discord.

1315999
And I honestly don't care.
Sorry if I don't go by canon standards for maps, but I don't wanna go by canon standards.

Crystal Empire - Cana(neigh)dians :D

One problem. Eagleland is a nickname for America in some places.

That donjon thing is pretty useful i'm actually going to need because adding 10+ different species is kind of hard hard with out visual aid.
1315983
you can but I can't, "In Hooviet Russia Celestia banishes the moon to you
and if that wasn't funny enough take this

It's official. Equiestrian earth is a Donut World.


I'm ok with this. :pinkiehappy:

1315999

The Everfree Forest... Is so tiny. WTF!

1316035 I was thinking more along the lines of: "In Hooviet Russia, map read you", but yours was better. D'oh! Said I wasn't going to make the joke!:derpyderp1:

1316023
The term is a nod to this.

1316015
I'm so tempted to just put that right on the blog.

1316043
Can't you do that with all maps?:rainbowhuh:

1316046
Exactly why I don't follow the canon map.

1316047>>1315994>>1315999

By the way everyone, Badlands are the lands of the Dragon.

1316133

nope. It doesn't even apply here, now that i think of it. but it was a neat gif.

The donut world applies when you travel to the north, and come out from the south end. Like, if I went to see Santa, and ended up at the set of Happy Feet. :pinkiecrazy:

I like how the badlands are the greenest part of the map =P

sounds ligit

1316192
It's elevation stuff.
Let's just pretend it's brown though.:twilightsheepish:

So does Equestrian Earth cover the entire world right now? Or would it just cover Equestria? And then areas like Magistrum, Badlands, Eagleland etc would slowly come out later as expansions?

If It does only cover Equestria at this moment, I want a zoomed in version of the continent so that I can split it up into zones like a real MMO.

добре вичр comrades! it is I Dachande! back from my short resource hunt in Hooviet Russia!

1316228
Equestria, Badlands, and Crystal Empire are all vanilla content.
The rest are parts of expansions.
I'll try to get a Zoomed version of Equestria, but I dunno if it'll be high rez.
Do you really wanna do this though? Complete the map of Equestria?

1316296 Hell yeah I do! I'll share it with you, and if you like it I'll post it on the forums and whatnot. It shouldn't be too hard a job, even for MSpaint,

If you don't like it, well, nobody ever said my story had to be canon after the PvP chapter which will come out soon

EDIT: Oh, and you can cut off part of the badlands for sake of efficiency, I'll just put an arrow pointing to badlands and we can all assume that's the endgame content where you need to be in a raid group just to survive going from one end to the other (not even mentioning trying to go into dungeons).

1316298
Alright. Here it is.
Just click on the picture two times to see how big it really is.:rainbowlaugh:
You can download it too.

1316311 Hurrah! Nothing I like more than a well-fleshed out world. I'll work on this over the next week along with Chapter 8 of my story while I'm moving.

1316312
Cool!
Btw, do you already have a theme on how you're going to zone these?
Cause I'm actually basing the areas around this.
images.wikia.com/mlp/images/1/12/Map_of_Equestria_online_version_2012-08.jpg
Of course, Equestrian Earth has way many more places than what's on there. Oh, and there's no Badlands in the right bottom corner.

1316315 I'm going to label things similarly to the "canon" map, with some (heavy) artistic licensing. Badlands gets moved to where you have it now and such. Most of my story (so far) takes place in the mid-eastern heartlands and I'm moving farther east towards the coast in the next few chapters, so those areas will get the most work done by me. (I have vague yet solid ideas of what the heck I'm doing)

I'll try to re-read through your story while I'm doing this to mark locations and cause as few continuity errors as possible.

1316336
Alright.
I just hope you're willing to commit a little cause I know how hard it can be to think about the layouts of the maps. You gotta think about what towns to put in, and if it'll be okay to put a town there.
For MMORPGS, you gotta think about the dungeons and the special areas and the bosses.:twilightoops:

If we go further, we're going to have to think about sea routes and stuff because that is how players can reach other lands (other than by walking).

1316348 Well I'm intentionally going to some of the map sparse, with just villages and names and brief descriptions describing what's there. That way other writers can take those areas and do something with them themselves, and I'll add the dungeons and locations later on from what they write. I figure, hey, dungeons gotta be discovered, don't they? I might throw in a few extra dungeons but not go into any great detail about them.

I figure every zone will probably have (on average) two dungeons and early-level zones (I'll color-code the borders for zone difficulty) will most likely have a town each. With how big the map is (and how big equestria probably is assuming a conventional planet size) I'm seeing an easy 20 zones to split up, possibly 25.

1316402>>1316368

I know this doesn't happen so fast, but if "Terra" (What I call the planet) is similar to Earth, then there are tectonic plates.

Since EE takes place in the distant past, the Badlands should be in a different place than were they are in the Canon map. I agree with this world map because of this reason.

1316133
Dooooooooooooooo iiiiiiiitttttttttt

Coming from a canadian... YOU LIVE IN SEATTLE. An hour and a bit from canada. Is it really so different from seattle that it had to be a frozen snowcap? :rainbowhuh: :facehoof:

1316700
I blame 1316015 for giving me the idea.

1316133 I see the nod there my man, and I encourage you to keep it as-is. I was merely stating the Eagle is the national animal of your country, and therefore might cause a little confusion. Or not.

1316803
It may or may not.
But remember this: Benjamin wanted the turkey.

Franklin's Letter to His Daughter (excerpt)

"For my own part I wish the Bald Eagle had not been chosen the Representative of our Country. He is a Bird of bad moral Character. He does not get his Living honestly. You may have seen him perched on some dead Tree near the River, where, too lazy to fish for himself, he watches the Labour of the Fishing Hawk; and when that diligent Bird has at length taken a Fish, and is bearing it to his Nest for the Support of his Mate and young Ones, the Bald Eagle pursues him and takes it from him.

"With all this Injustice, he is never in good Case but like those among Men who live by Sharping & Robbing he is generally poor and often very lousy. Besides he is a rank Coward: The little King Bird not bigger than a Sparrow attacks him boldly and drives him out of the District. He is therefore by no means a proper Emblem for the brave and honest Cincinnati of America who have driven all the King birds from our Country...

"I am on this account not displeased that the Figure is not known as a Bald Eagle, but looks more like a Turkey. For the Truth the Turkey is in Comparison a much more respectable Bird, and withal a true original Native of America... He is besides, though a little vain & silly, a Bird of Courage, and would not hesitate to attack a Grenadier of the British Guards who should presume to invade his Farm Yard with a red Coat on."

I am not sorry for the things that I have done here :3

Wow this is really cool. So what inspired you to make this map?

1316955
The fact that I can finally make a world map for Equestrian Earth.
I've been dying to find a way to have a map made for my fic, but of course I don't have the means to pay for a map to be made.
This one is very convenient.:twilightsmile:

1316916 Don't worry about it :twilightsheepish: I get irritated by american stereotypes too easily

1317015
I actually live in Michigan :D
Lower Michigan...but close enough :D

1317058 THE ANCIENT LANDS OF LOWER MICHIGAN. *cue badass music and panoramic view*

1318343
*cue badass music and panoramic view of Detroit*
Reasons to not live here :D
