How large are you printing the map panels?

I'm thinking 10" x 22" each. What do you think a good size is?

The actual size is 8.4 x 21.75, though whatever size you want works!

How large is the massive map ?

I would like to print the large map on a big poster or maby in the A4 format. I prefer coreldraw or adobe photoshop.

It might be good to fill out the empty space with the updated ASTs and census tables and such...

Any suggestions ?

Real big ;)

Not sure... I'll check. However... as someone pointed out before sometimes the seems don't match up exactly. One day I'll fix that

Are the panels all the same resolution? If so, what resolution? I suppose I could calculate it from the map size you posted, but the map panels aren't the same size all of them, right?

We're going to make a board and counters here in Stockholm to do some playtesting... it will be wonderful...

Panels 1-10 are all the same size.
Panel 12 is the same size, but rotated on its side
Panel 11 is the only odd man out. IIRC, it is as high as panel 12 (so as high as panels 1-10 are wide), but it is longer than all the others.

Since that length doesn't change the size of the map, that should be enough information to calculate it out. This is left as an exercise for the reader :)

I had the same idea, but as I understand it the map is not final yet, or is it ?

I thought there are still some minor changes left and also the AST is not set yet, but there is a version on the PBEM Apollo18, which I currently participate in. http://broggs.org/~civmoves/apollo/

Also, there are still some debate regarding the civs names, which might be changed or modified.

I also live in Stockholm, Sweden and have printed out and cut up most of the civcards for 18 players, so if you need more people for your playtesting, please contact me at s_thoren51SPAM@SPAMhotmail.com

For the map, I intend to print it out with coreldraw or Photoshop as a poster in A4 format.

Our map in Apollo 18 is slightly different from the map here.
There is a slight increase in population levels over on the east side of the map.
Also, some borders have moved slightly to make more obvious what bits are in flood plain.

The maps are NOT final yet, but what would change would be pop numbers and just a few border tweaks.

Apollo 18 (once finished) should give me a better idea of what should change.
