Re: Neveron Map Coordinates

First point about that map [zoom 4], is that I dont believe its an actual map of current empires, like zoom 1 is. Zoom 4 Map I think is more like a .jpg file / picture, taken of Neveron a very long time ago. It was meant to show more of a overview of where certain alliances had formed up, and where larger empires had spread out, etc etc. If you try to compare the zoom 4 map, to the zoom 1 map set to 0,0...you can tell that there is a lot more land south of 0,0 than the zoom 4 map seems to show. So it does not appear that the center of Zoom 4, is actually 0,0.
Another point to consider, is the coordintes are really only used as a means to identify one zone from another. There is no advantage to have one zone over another based on location to the center, or outer edge etc.
Some players will actually prefer to find a zone that may be surrounded by water, to limit an attackers number of options when attacking that zone.
Another feature that makes a zone more valuable than another would be if infrastucture can be built upon it. When Neveron first started, you could build infra on any zone, if you were willing to pay for itwith Donation Points [DP]. Now however, you can only add additional buildable spaces to existing buildable zones. So several buildable zones in a small cluster might make a zone more appealing than another.
I also believe that the coordinates 0,0 are the 'location' of all the Arena Duels, and the empire that owns that zone, also collects all the salvage that is remaining after the duels end. So from that perspective, there is a slight advantage to owning that EXACT zone.
So regardless of where the 'center' of Neveron is, it affects game play very little for most players.
