so far this is what i've got any suggestions to improve it would be great i am aware that some of the countries have less or more borders/territories then listed but it is generally pretty close

Nice map but what is it based on?

Some of the countries have their names WAY off center... Also, the plateau up in the top left of the map seems elongated and distorted... Loos like a cool map, though...

Would the brown spaces not be part of any continent?

fisherman5 · Post by **fisherman5** » Tue Feb 13, 2007 12:47 pm

it based off a map from a book i'm reading i know it copyrighted and am looking into what i will need to do to make this map legally

really really big map... you'll need to figure out how to size it down.

I have a hard time getting excited about fantasy maps, especially when I don't even know what the book is. Think about something that will make the gameplay unique.

yeah i know its a tad big right now for detail purposes as for unique game play this is the only map that i see to have separated territories for one continent

Here's a tip:
Raise the dpi to 600 and then resize it to fit the large mapwidth of 800px.
THEN start editing the map.
Trust me, this will save you time. You will have better control over the final look of things if you work with the 800px from the get-go.

Updates(already

)
-changed size to 800x800
-advanced the river in nolethanin so attacks can't be made between simmok and alazare
-moved the text around so it all fits

i also put in a sample circle for fun

right now the mountains in the south yellow are completely pointless to have. i suggest either extending them one direction or just omitting them completely.

fisherman5 · Post by **fisherman5** » Wed Feb 14, 2007 4:22 pm

hmm i think i will just delete them

I think that the Draals, the Forbidden Isle, and the no-continent territorries are all similar colors. Could you darken/lighten/change some?

fisherman5 · Post by **fisherman5** » Wed Feb 14, 2007 8:17 pm

grr just relaized the last continent got cut off but it would be gyres i will look into changing the draal and gyre colors

fisherman5 · Post by **fisherman5** » Thu Feb 15, 2007 5:38 pm

Upadtes
-deleted the mountains in southern tajira

-got gyres onto the key

plus the brown colours are waaay to similar. and i haven't seen you posting on anyone elses map, put a link to this map in your sig, and help others out, chances are they may make a comment on your map :wink:

Wisse · Post by **Wisse** » Mon Feb 19, 2007 5:00 am

the amry shade looks bad, the bridges are also bad, the country lines are not all the same size and you need to texture your map

fisherman5 · Post by **fisherman5** » Tue Feb 20, 2007 7:56 pm

Updates
-Changed Gyre color from yellowish to a light green
-Played with the borders to make them all uniform in size
-Another sample circle

wisse i haven't quite figured textures out yet on inkscape but i am thinking about how to improve the bridges currently

Its a bit complicated for textures. This is how i do it:
First find a sort of tiling texture, GRsiteshas good ones. Then import it into inkscape. I turn it into a pattern (Alt + I). I then copy the continent i want to apply the texture to and fill that continent with a texture. Then, i put a partially transparent coloured continent over the texture and voila. Thats how i do it. There might be a simpler way, but I havent found it.
