Proposal: Scythe-insects exist as fossilized remnants under an ancient lava flow and have no influence on modern history.

So just as a public service announcement, you can have the forum software auto-ignore people for you. Go into your profile, hover over "modify profile", then "buddies/ignore list" in that dropdown menu.

I highly recommend it.

Back to map design... I propose the genera is a fantasy, but the world is not purely classical; in fact, it is just pre-industrial, perhaps similar to 1800 in OTL... plus magic users and the classical fantasy setting trappings, including a hostile world full of bandits, goblins, trolls... The map itself could be drawn in any style; if it's modern, then it's more useful as a reference. If it's fantasy, then it's more highly thematic.

Map size doesn't matter to me, although I suppose it makes more sense to start with a single kingdom and expand it.

I propose that there are no cities or settlements within ten miles of the pyramid, and anyone who ventures too close risks simply vanishing.

What do you got against scythers? is it still about "not fitting in the setting"?

I have nothing against scythers. I am against you using them in every topic you post in.

Reasonable. I myself intended it to be a chance, not a certainty. Your idea makes more narrative sense.

  In regards to how Scythers (or, indeed Pokemon in general) would fit into the theme:

Spoiler: Mew Temple (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Mew Glyph (click to show/hide)

Stumbled on one thing while looking at Pics of Aztec, Inca and Mayan stuff and figured I'd mention it so you folks can decide/debate/start WWIII.

Also, work on map is progressing. Right now I'm inking the 4 sides & corners, then I'll draw everything noted in my last post and put her up here.

soooo....seeing as how we decided on atlas style (so we could have a big world but still handle small towns and such)) are you going to copy that page then start drawing? or are you using a different design for each page?
