If you want them, I could send you the original files I used, and how to emboss them as I'd done.

No thank you, at least for now. Have to do some other things first, like the dreaded ocean borders.

Btw as the gimp expert, do you know if there is a way to make the border lines thinner? They are seperate on one layer and only one color.

I'm hardly an expert - but try "select -> choose by colour" followed by "select -> shrink" and then CTRL-i and CTRL-x. You might also want to try and use "select -> feather" instead or together with "select -> shrink" to make the edges of the borders softer.

Ok new Version is up. Now every territory should show the features coresponding to its flags. Please report any errors.
I added ocean borders. Though now some neighbours don't look quite right, i'd say that's only a minor problem.

.ZIP is missing a .map file ...

EDIT: btw, map looks much better now.

I didn't put in the .map file on purpose. Mine are all edited to some point

so just get them from the Illwinter site if you don't have them by now.

The map is pretty. It reminds me of elementary-school geography/social studies textbook maps. But it's missing resources...

Putting icons for bars of gold, bars of silver, cows, deer, lumber, wheat, salt... hmm, maybe copper, corn, rice, spices, and silk would be fun! Seals, gems, and maybe paper, too. Civ 2 or MOM might be good icon sources...

If I still had an elementary-school geography book, it might be fun to scan it in=)

I have replaced the first draft of Torvak's world map on my downloads page with the latest Version. A new thumbnail is shown, and the .RAR file contains the official .map files from IW.
