W2/Geography
From Inselkampf
In World 2, every 40 islands are combined into a group of islands. These groups of islands are then combined into oceans. Each ocean has 100 groups of islands. There are 100 oceans in one world.[1]
Nautical Miles
The distance between 2 adjacent islands is 1 nautical mile. A group of islands is a square with each side being 10 nautical miles long. It might be possible that ships may be can't travel diagonally (the distance between '1' and '10' is the same as the distance between '1' and '55').
New Islands
New islands will appear in the same group of islands until it has 40 islands. New groups of islands will appear in the same ocean (directly to the right of or directly below the newest group) until the ocean has 100 groups of islands. Oceans are filled in from the upper-left to the lower-right. New oceans appear in the same pattern:
1.... 12... 12... 123.. 123.. ..... ..... 6.... 6.... 67... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... 123.. 1234. ####. ####. ####. 67... 67... ###.. ###.. ###.. #.... #.... #.... ##... ##... ..... ..... ..... ..... #.... ##### ##### ##### ##### ##### ###.. ####. ####. ####. ##### ##... ##... ###.. ###.. ####. #.... #.... #.... ##... ##...
At the time of writing, only oceans 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 11 have any islands. The little direction pad buttons on the map screen won't let the user go beyond oceans 1 through 25. It may be a safe assumption that once the first 25 oceans fill in, a new quadrant (oceans 26 through 50) will appear immediately to the right of the first quadrant etc.
