Alright! So here's what I got in mind then since the custom map isn't in mind:
Like Sky said, I think we should stick to a much smaller area this time around for our main groups. Our current area is quite large and uses up a lot of the space on the map, along with bumping off of Sus's comment. Using real group sizes may be our option here. Not super-power sized countries though, as that'd create our problem again.
If we'd like to stick to Europe, as most do, I say we go with the space of Spain, Germany, and France split between our groups(hence our current map's shortened by several hundred miles). Other groups can conform around those areas and the rest of the world if need be. Yes? No?
When it comes to this amount of space, there will be plenty of walking distance. Thus, raising the question: Do we allow cars and other forms of transportation? Poll here.
Another question bouncing off the previous: Where do we limit technology?
Along with this, we need to possibly explain powers and mutations, though that is not necessarily required.
Then we must explain WHY this is a post-apocalyptic themed roleplay rather than straight-up-fantasy. Plots, backstories, and history ideas are all welcome when it comes down to this. We need to be more clear of this. One more thing... WHERE do we stop modern history? I've heard plenty of suggestions of the Cold War solution, which I am all for, but we'd need a little more insight into that!
