I'd like to begin a game where I challenge my AE Forum members to guess the date of a given map that I post. I will keep track of those who are the first to guess them. Also, I'll accept the century that the Map dates from as a right answer. Good luck I hope this will be fun.

Moved to a more appropriate forum. Nice initiative though.

Well, giving a link to a file on your harddisc won't get us started.

You should not feel the need to cheat, I purposely began this quiz with a easy question. It really isn't that hard, in fact there is a pretty obvious clue on the map if you know your medieval history. Also, if no one gets it in a couple of days I'll start to give out clues. Just guess and I'll tell you if you are close. And thank you for moving it to a more appropriate destination.

Cheat? The link goes to your harddisc which means no one can see it. You need to put the picture on a server and link to that.

You're are right it is actually 814. I'll post a new map tommorrow and promise it will be much harder. I'll ask you to guess the time period within a couple of decades. For right now, one for Janus Rook.

For map 2 I'd like you to quess the date within a decade of the actual date. If no one gets in in 5 days I'll give you a clue.

Also, please let me know if you cannot see the image.

By the gods I am irritated by people writing u's like v. So what if the Roman u looked like a v; it doesn't in the modern alphabeth. I don't use funny-looking runes when writing old names or places :mad:

That's correct!!! Good for you. Maybe this is too easy. I'll post a new map as soon as I can. And I'll retain the 10 years as my acceptable time span.
