How long would it take to walk across one of the segments of the island? Is it something that can be done in a day? Half a day? 20 minutes? Adrian -- www.brickfrenzy.com (23 years ago, 22-Oct-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)

(...) I just got off the phone with Craig Hamilton, and here is how we measured the map: 1 Realm (segment of the isle) = 32 x 32 Acres (not REAL acres) = 128 x 128 Baseplates = 32 x 32 Studs. As you can see, we have the size of the island down to (...) (23 years ago, 22-Oct-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)

(...) Lemme get this straight. So the whole Isle is made of 4 realms? Then *each* realm has 32 x 32 (= 1024) acres? So the whole map, including water, has 4096 acres. Every acre is equivalent to how much on the map? I am guessing that, since there (...) (23 years ago, 22-Oct-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)

Wow, it's bigger than I thought! So, if Kobayashi is moored in the small cove at the very southern end of N0W6, and Llewelyn and friends are in the bay at the northern end of the realm, there's probably a good 15-20 miles between us. That's cool. (...) (23 years ago, 22-Oct-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)

(...) The whole Isle is made up of four Fields. Each Field is 8 x 8 Realms. I guess I should have mentioned that :) Either way - it's very large. Did that clear things up? I'll be posting an illustrated FAQ about this soon. -- Pawel (23 years ago, 22-Oct-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)

(...) And the isle, (assuming most of the bits under fog are isle) is somewhere around 550 km across. Which makes it compareable to New Zealand's South island. (Except South island isn't round, more a diagonal line, tIoM has a larger area). Or to (...) (23 years ago, 27-Oct-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)

(...) Hmm, wow, that's quite large, but actually I thought it was bigger! Hmm. Interesting. (...) Well.... do you even know that Castle World is round? Who knows? It may be flat... in fact I think it would even be fair to assume it is, since it has (...) (23 years ago, 27-Oct-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)

(...) Bigger? If one were to grab baseplates and make tIoM in real life it'd be over sixteen and a half kilometers across! Even a acre is pretty large, clocking up 32 metres across. (For the series, a realm is around a kilometre and a bit)(1) Even (...) (23 years ago, 27-Oct-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)

(...) i know im not involved at all.. but doesn't this seem kinda excessive? i mean, with 40,000 baseplates per balladeer (or something like that), it could be possible to build an entire world, society, etc without really ever having to see anyone (...)

(...) eep! Rule one, never do these calculations at night. ---here begins the discussion--- The island isn't only 8,000,000 baseplates big. I made a mistake in calculating and underestimated by a factor of 512. The real size of the map shown on the (...) (23 years ago, 29-Oct-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)
