Those mountains are crazy nice. The rest of it isn't too appealing though.

Yes, my guess is, because of the other graphics of villages and whatnot being just a square with a bevel on, that the carto just found the mountains on the net and added those squares - (houses)

Oh, well if he stole those mountains, and added those squares, then he ruined the map.

Just remeber that you now indeirectly represent CC and therefor your actions can and most likely will have an effect of these peoples opinions about CC and its members. Just make sure that opinion is a good one ;)

Also, I thought Zeak's Archipelago Map was made up?

I found a Archipelago on this map:
http://forum.cartographersguild.com/att ... 1217890882

Its off the cost close to the far right side.

An archipelago (pronounced /ɑrkəˈpɛləgoʊ/) is a chain or cluster of islands. The word archipelago literally means "chief sea", from Italian arcipelago (artʃiˈpelago) , derived ultimately from Greek arkhon (arkhi-) ("leader") and pelagos ("sea"). In Italian, possibly following a tradition of antiquity, the Archipelago (Greek: Αρχιπέλαγος) was the proper name for the Aegean Sea and, later, usage shifted to refer to the Aegean Islands (since the sea is remarkable for its large number of islands). It is now used to generally refer to any island group or, sometimes, to a sea containing a large number of scattered islands like the Aegean Sea.

Yeah, Archipelago is a pretty generic name. It'd be like calling Feudal war "Grassy Fields" or something. But it sounds cool :D

So i was thinking if we had some kind of Teamwork with this site. Like all maps and such is devolped in Carographers guild or you find layouts there and such. And is then taken up for the next step in cc. Would that be a bad idea if they say yes?
