    Putting in two stereographic endcaps (developed circa 0 AD) helps to offset the more modern Wagner VII (1949 AD) to make everything average out about 650AD. It works that way, right? If you want to do this, put the following text in your FT Projection.txt file to get that projection:

    Projection 89, "Wagner Stereographic Endcaps"

    Scale 1.0
    Description "Wagner VII with Stereographic Endcaps"

    Segment "Wagner VII", 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0
    scale 1, 1
    Offset 0.0, 0.0
    Effective -180, 90, 180, -90
    Rotate 0
    EndSegment

    Segment "Stereographic", 90, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0
    scale 0.5, 0.5
    Offset 0.0, +0.559
    Effective -180, 90, 180, 60
    Rotate 0
    EndSegment

    Segment "Stereographic", -90, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0
    scale 0.5, 0.5
    Offset 0.0, -0.559
    Effective -180, -60, 180, -90

    Now that is so COOL!

    I can use the modern bit for accuracy and the old bit to suggest the style of presentation

    Could also argue it looks good for SF settings too!


    I love this site

    Dollhouse Syndrome = The temptation to turn a map into a picture, obscuring the goal of the image with the appeal of cute, or simply available, parts. Maps have clarity through simplification.
