| Re: Artifact Sizing *Minor H3 Spoilers* | |

In Response To: Re: Artifact Sizing *Minor H3 Spoilers* (TheMasterChef117) : (whistles) 83,710.6299213 feet. 15.8miles...but somehow that doesn't add up : with the distance between New Mombassa (where present-day Mombasa is) and : the town of Voi. Acoording to Google Earth, the two towns are rougly : 89miles apart. And if Voi is just on the edge of the crater, and New : Mombassa is where the crater is...then...I dunno...Somebody help me out : here... Those buildings on the far side of the Crater are part of Mombasa, so the crater is between Voi and New Mombasa. You have to forget about Google Earth on this one. On a current map, a line from Kilimanjaro to Mombasa would pass just South of Voi. According to The Storm, that line would pass North of Voi (assuming that Kilimanjaro and Mombasa haven't moved). The signs on Tsavo Highway say that Voi is 17km down the road and New Mombasa is 114km down the road. I take this to mean that New Mombasa is 97km from Voi, following the Tsavo Highway. You could argue that the highway splits and one way goes to Voi and the other to New Mombasa so that the two cities might be 131km apart. Either way you look at it, the distance falls short of the 147km gap between the cities today. In the game there is a lake next to Voi, where no lake exists today (as far as I know). As a side note, I wonder if maybe this lake was formed by the dam in Sierra 117? I don't think it's too difficult to believe that Voi moves a few kilometers south in the next 500 years.
