Quote:Sounds good! It's Wave Country I meant, not the ... Tatsumaki, was it? Still can't remember w/o looking ... Penninsula but it amounts to almost the same thing.
All right - Rain on that little peninsula, split the country south of Wind and make Tea its easternmost third or so?
Quote:Keep it if you want it, I don't need it per se.
The Empire - if we keep it - would be to the west, then.
Quote:That's about what I was figuring, but wanted to see what you thought about it.
NinjaLand's size I'd place as being somewhere a little smaller than Australia - maybe as big as the US east of the Mississippi?
Jade Empire the game, well, the day I buy an Xbox is the day after I sell my soul, so I kind of think I'll give it a miss.
I've been rereading the manga, and there is definitely an un-built-up area on one side of the arena - Kabuto was shown sitting on a tree branch there after he killed an ANBU to get his uniform to enter the stands, and it's on the far side of the ring from them to boot. I found the picture of the dog-size frog with a katana, too, and several other useful reference pictures - I'll stick them on my web page when I've gotten through the rest of the exam and war stuff.

ETA: What if you put the Jade Empire a short way across the sea, either north just far enough to be above the equator, or to the east of Mist where there's more landmass running off the map? If to the east, it might explain why Mist is so cutthroat - having a somewhat expansionist neighbor is enough to make anyone antsy, even if they have been thrown back several times, and even if the rest of your enemies usually make a temporary alliance to keep them at bay.
ETA2: I've moved all but one fo the reference pics into their own directory - the TXY color image is still where it's always been under cashew/grunion/ - and added the reference images I picked out of the chuunin finals sequences. Old stuff first: Mako-chan Snow nin 1 Snow nin 2
New stuff: Shodaime/Nidaime team Sandaime/San-nin/Yondaime teams
Arena long shot Arena medium shot
Gamatachi
Grass-nin (probably chuunin)
