IDEA: the "Creation of Adam" by Michelangelo Map

[LordAdef]

It's a crazy idea. But I think it is a novel idea for a Map!

The Painting can be easily parsed into regions. There is Adam, God, the Angels etc.. Each body may be easily parsed. The main Map would have two Main lands connected by one point: the fingers touching. This point would have some special feature, perhaps you could jump to anywhere you want in the map from this location.

I would overlay the map interface on top of the painting. I believe it's Public Domain, so no problem here.

What do you lads think?

I think it's a good example of thinking outside the box, but probably too far outside

Well... It is indeed...
But it would be nice and fun to play it thou

I actually think think this is a great idea, and I like the idea of jumping to any point (or maybe a few select points?) on the map. To make it fair no one could spawn on the arms, but in a semicircle around them. The point where the fingers touch would be of similar importance to the Draig Tower in 12 domains, with a hefty neutral army on it to start.

PS. I've seen the original in the Sistine Chapel and it's jaw-dropping. Photos don't do it any justice. It seems more real than the people and objects around you.

Well, I agree! That would gives us a new type of map... And i agree that the spot where the fingers touch having some special feature. Unfortunatelly it didn't draw people's interest.

With only 1 point at which the 2 sides meet means it would stalemate rather easily wouldn't it?

We can add more points.

I agree, more points of connection could be created.
Again, it would be fun and a novelty to have such a thematical map.
