I recently bought the Age of Treason book. Great stuff; inspired and perfectly suitable for a nice campaign for my gaming group.
The problem I have though is with the maps. Most (all?) don't have a scale printed on them (in km, miles or leagues).
Even worst, one of the only map that does have a scale seems wrong! I am talking about the Taskan Empire Map found on Mongoose's site and other sites. This particular map does have a scale, but with no units indicated... So I presumed it should be miles. But, no: there is a bug...
According to the AoT source book, p.2 the Taskian Empire "spans a territory 600 miles east to west, nearly 400 miles north to south". But when I use the scale on the map to measure the Empire's "bounding box", I get something like 730 X 530. So the scale is definitely not expressed in miles, because it would contradict the AoT book statement, nor kilometers, since it would then be much less than 600 X 400 miles...
So, what do you think: the scale on the map is wrong? The AoT book is wrong? I am wrong?
To some, it may seem like a minor issue, but considering it will affect all travel distances and potentially all future maps published for the game (or the one I will make for my modules)... I see this as an important issue!
Anyone has a clue?
