It needs a lot of testing for balance purposes and I'll send in a new Version in a few weeks.

Any helpful testers would be appreciated.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Wow, that is looking really great!

Are you going to let the sea races go up that river?

Looks like a map I'd really like to try http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Actually, they even have a section for incomplete stuff.

In any case, here it comes!

Here is the link that Gandalf so kindly provided http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Again, this Version IS DONE. The only change in the next Version will be tweaking to try and make the two sides as perfectly balanced as I can. Since that task is impossible, it probably won't be too different http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Thanks for the encouragement! As Gandalf like's to say..."people don't know how to pay for free stuff anymore". http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif A little positive feedback goes a long way! Not sure about letting sea races go upriver. The provinces will be designated as "river" though. Does that make them able to traverse it?

Good timing too, as I came here to make a post and ask if I should continue with this map, or is no one interested in it. Thanks again.

EDIT: Or are you saying I should make the sea and the lakes #neighbors, so you could jump upriver?

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Matter of taste, but I would. Otherwise the sea people wouldn't have much access to inland areas at all.

Yeah, I think you map is looking very professional and "offical".

Re: Seeking map or need advice on making it
 

Wow, nice map! Is there any way you can send me the pic without the province borders on it so I can try to rip the mountain grafix out? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Seeking map or need advice on making it
 

Targa and DiamondSpider,
Both of your maps look great. DS what did you use to make yours?

As far as I know "river" just does things like affect resources and events (flooding requires access to water). I dont think a province can actually be both land and water as far as movement.

Re: Seeking map or need advice on making it
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Thanks! I didn't make the graphics, I found them posted on the Wizards of the Coast website as a public domain fan map and liked the look of it.

I also own Campaign Cartographer that can make similar maps, but they do take a long time to make with it as it is a flexible but rough tool.

On the other point, he could give the sea creatures access to the inner water areas just by linking the final sea zone at the delta with the lake!

I think that would be nifty http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
