About how big Azeroth really is.
As already said in the oral story, Blizzard's dad says that Azeroth is slightly smaller than Earth. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info if you calculate according to this area, hehe. Taking Alvin as an example, it is basically about 80w square kilometers. What is this concept, he is the size of two Yunnan provinces, according to a normal person walking 12 hours a day, according to the game map ratio. It was a 20-day walk from Shining Gold to Stormwind. How does this make me writeγγγγγγγγ
It is also described in the Tides of Darkness novel, where Lothar asks Khadgar how long it will take to get to Lordaeron from the town of Khadjan, and Khadgar says that it will take about 1 week. They have horses, and we press them 10 kilometers per hour (in the novel are horses and carts. It is obviously impossible to run. 12 hours per day. 840 km and they will be able to reach Lordaeron. And they are not a straight line distance, they go first to the Silver Pine Forest, and then along the lake to Lordaeron. I am from Shanxi, and I take Shanxi as an example, from Datongtian Town in the north to Sanmenxia in the south, which is 800 kilometers. And how big Shanxi is, less than 16w square kilometers. In other words, the entire Eastern Kingdom at that time was not half the size of China! Even if we doubled the speed of Lothar, 20 kilometers per hour. All of Azeroth is also nowhere near the slightly smaller Earth that Blizzard claims.
And the population is mentioned in the population chapter, and the total number of intelligent races does not exceed 100 million. In 1000 A.D., the population of the earth was already more than 250 million. I think the environment in the Middle Ages was similar to that of Azeroth. It was a time of war and genocide at every turn.
So I directly assumed that the people of Azeroth were twice as physically fit as humans. They can walk up to 8-10 kilometers per hour. You can walk for more than 10 hours a day. This would allow me to set up the world of Azeroth to be about half the size of Earth. (I don't think it's small, less than 100 million people, such a big place.) 70% of it has to be no man's land)
For example, in the Elwyn Forest in the first book, the distance from Flashgold to Stormwind and to Northshire is basically the same, and it takes us 5 days to walk, which means that their distance is 500 kilometers. (That's about 40 square kilometers of Alwyn Forest.) is the size of Yunnan Province) The main character's escape route in the book is about half this distance. They are definitely faster than a normal walk. So I set it would take them less than 2 days to get to Stormwind. The Knights of Stormwind can be reached in 1 day if they march in a hurry.
In the future, I will post data in similar aspects here, and I will not open a separate chapter, and book friends with different opinions can also put it forward in the book review area.
