I have created and tested a new map, but I'd rather have a few more eyes take a look at it before I submit it to Illwinter for posting. It's 101 provinces, no wraparound, and a good mix of water and land.
Farthing Map (.ZIP file) - approx. 2.2 megs
Let me know if you catch any mistakes. I'd also like feedback on the look of the map before I do any more. I used a program called Campaign Cartographer 2, exported it to a big JPG file, dumped that into Photoshop, got rid of all the white pixels, made a few layers, drew in the borders, added the capitals, saved it as a TGA, etc.
It seems ok to me. I found a few problems during my tests but nothing major. I'm just hoping I didn't screw up anything like marking a mountain province as seas or linking provinces on opposite sides of the map.
If you have some time, please check it out and let me know how it is. It's the first "real" map that I've made for this (or any other game) and I would appreciate some honest feedback.
Oh, and I'm the person responsible for the bland United States map that was posted to the Illwinter site so blame me for mistakes on that as well (like the fact that the name is "48 provinces" instead of something useful). I created that as a test before starting on this map and wanted to make it available to people who might use it. I realize that it's nothing fancy but it does seem functional for smaller games, test games, etc.
Thanks a ton,
