Posted: Wed Nov 09, 2005 2:51 am Post subject: Kooluk Map? |
|
|
Hey guys, I tried over at Suikosource.com and didn't get very far, and since Sars is pretty busy as of late I thought I'd see if any of you resourceful little devils could find me the map of Kooluk from Suikoden Tactics/Rhapsodia. I'm not sure how many people aside from Sars imported the game, but if any of you happen to have a free moment once you pick up the title and have a digital camera, I'd appreciate a clear-ish shot of the landmass.
I'm working on an updated and stylized "world map" of the Suikoden world using an old-world style cartographical design, but I want to make sure that Kooluk's layout is correct, since we have access to images like that now.
The closest thing I have seen is This image on IGN but all it shows it the same angle seen in the map inside the Suikoden IV instruction booklet.
The map is pretty much on hold until I get a concise image of the Kooluk region, and I'm not execting to get Suikoden Tactics for myself until the holidays when I'll have more spending money. So, that's my humble little request to you all.
The map will be public domain once it's finished, so you'll all be free to use it on fansites or what have you. there'll be two versions, one that only features "known" lands, and another more fanciful map that is similar to Suikox's War map, with a little creative liscense here and there. _________________

If you're still interested I can probably get a picture tomorrow, it won't be great quality or anything though, just a photo of the TV. |

Hawk: That would be wonderful, remember when taking a photo of your television to turn your flash off and make sure there are no other lights on in the room :3
Destiny: Is the detailing on that map official, or is it primarially conjecture based on the Suikox map? If that's based on something Konami published than it's absolutely perfect as far as the coastline goes. _________________

Ah, i used some of the info from the Suikox map. The south was completed from using the actual Suikoden IV map from the game. Sorry i can't be of much help. :( _________________ CAAANONBALL |

Doesn't Kooluk reminds you of Highland from S2? With their similar relative location and size compared to the protagonists' nations in the both games, eh. |

A lot of S4 reminds me of S2 (Snowe/Jowy) but yeah the fight of a small nation against a much bigger nation definitley reminds me of S2, except while Jowston conquered Highland's biggest city, the Island Nations only managed to destroy a border fort of Kooluk. |

Well, the Islanders only wanted to protect their lands, not conquering what belonged to the others. Also, unlike Highland, it was pretty much only El-Eal involved in the war (due to Cray's scheming), not Kooluk in its entirety.
So, do we know for sure if Kooluk is truly comparable to Highland in terms of size? Or could it be that the Island Nations map was zoomed out much further compared to previous titles' maps, because of the huge region of sea water around the islands? |

If you look in the first image I posted you'll see part of another island/country in the top left corner, I'm curious to know what land that is, if it's still Kooluk I would say that Kooluk is a pretty damn big country. |

If you go by the Nation Map on this site then Kanakan is the only place it could be, however I'm not sure we know enough to completley rule out there being another land mass there or even that still being Kooluk. |

Kooluk would have to be fairly large and powerful for them to take on the Scarlet Moon Empire, which we know is a rather large nation itself, and quite strong. I suppose it might have been weaker in the time of Suikoden IV, but I somehow doubt that is the case. Kooluk would also have to be rather powerful to even consider trying to expand their territory into the Island Nations while fighting against the Scarlet Moon Empire. ...So I guess this makes sense. _________________
