The Map of Ashan

Here is the lovely world map that comes with the Collector's Edition of Heroes V. If you look closely, it includes a few hints about the factions of an upcoming expansion pack (more about that later). Thanks Jerrie/Labyrinth.

Is it just me, or does that look a heckuva lot like Europe?

Now where did you get that silly idea from?

And a scaned version would be better.

Hehe, yeah it looks alot like europe, dwarves and elves in the scandinavian part of Ashan it seems. TSC represent Africa, Heresh Italy, Greece etc. And Ranaar = Russia

"And a scaned version would be better."

Agree

Then the Holy Griffin Empire must be Poland

Grimheim is Nordic then....think that Grimheim is home to the Dwarves. It says in one campaign cut-scene about not getting help from the Dwarves.

Oh, my map

Thanks for hosting

PS: And it DOES look like Europe

PS again @AS: I have that shot in a size of like 2500+ px width. I can send it by mail, if you're interested. (Otherwise you'd have to shoot your own map

Good. In the Czech republic, the map will be even in the standard edition- along with M&M IX and an energetic drink

I don't see it. Where are the Silver Cities supposed to be?

Europe? Bah... So predictable.

To me it looks more like a certain continent also oriented towards the west, with the elves in the north-west and the bad guys in the south-east...

Also, I wonder what's with that awkward shape towards the eastern part of the continent, that isthmus-like area. Why is it like that? What's on the other side?...

That one was modeled after europe as well.And this one looks a bit weirder,somehow stretched.

The large version is up. My apologies to dial-up users.

Thanks again, Labyrinth.

So, what are the new faction that are hinted at?

dragonn · Unread postby **dragonn** » 18 May 2006, 20:33

Well the idea of an Europe-shaped continent kinda reminds me of Warrior Kings. Europe was placed there in a medival + fantasy setting...

ThunderTitan · Unread postby **ThunderTitan** » 18 May 2006, 21:38

@jerseys:
There are 2 lands that don't match any known factions: Grimheim and Ranaar. We're thinking Dwarves for Grimheim and Free Cities of the East (Humans/Air Dragon) for Ranaar.

But Karthal, what kind of town is that? A coast type kind of town with pirates?

It's where Dark Messiah will take place IIRC...

So it's probably a mage town, right? What I like to know is where the Orcs settled. Somewhere in the East the Academy history says.
