I have just been doing some rough drawings and calculations based on Havard's map - I wanted to know how much space anyone had to leave if they were attempting to link up to Thonia in the south.
It's quite interesting - if you take a standard Wilderlands map (at 5 miles/hex), it turns out that Havard's map is the size of 12.8 WL maps!
What this says to me is that the WL area is really quite small - all 18 maps only cover an area 4.5 times the size of the original Blackmoor map.
I always thought the WL area was huge - simply because there were so many maps, so I did some checking on RW country sizes.
It seems the Blackmoor area has twice the area of Great Britain, and all 18 WL maps combined are just over a quarter of the size of the USA.
So, compared to the size of GB, the maps are big, but compared to the USA, the whole WL is only 3 times the size of Texas.
I suppose it just depends on your perspective, but it will help me to visualize things in my mind while drawing. :)
