New Map for Dom2 : Land of Shahrivar

[moodgiesanta]

Thanks, this map looks really nice. I'll be using it a lot. It also looks *very* nice run through the Clothify script in the GIMP.

Sachka ...

any chance we'll see maps of 300+ provinces ??

Well... I'll need a new computer. Imagine that saving this map while I was drawing it took about 5 long minutes each time...

But I'm thinking about a new map, in an old paper map style. This one would be lighter, and so, it could be larger or contain more provinces.

Concerning new projects, I'm also thinking about an entirely aquatic map (with a few islands, ok). I hope there will be some "amateurs".




Thanks Moodgiesanta

Oooh, it's pretty, and different. I like it!

If you're making more maps, I'll add a few comments...

1) Shahrivar is at the upper end of map sizes I would ever play, though there are also many people who like larger maps.
2) Illwinter's Cradle map also has differently "themed" or "colored" nation-areas, which are largely separated from each other by geographical features (generally mountains). The way this created chokepoints was a plus, IMO. Shahrivar might possibly give an advantage to Red and disadvantage to Orange, but this is pure speculation based on the picture; I have not examined the province adjacencies.
3) Wraparound maps are not very common (and, probably, are difficult to make). I'm not sure I like full-wraparounds, but half-wraparounds (cylindrical maps) are really nice, and I can't think of any other than Ringworld. A second half-wrap map would be nice.

Thanks for your efforts; I look forward to playing on it!

I'm totally agree with Gandalf Parker (as often...), this map is an "author" map, and like this, it's a really wonderfull map...
If somenone wants to "mod this mod", it's always possible. Just edit the txt file, and go on !
In my opinion, I like to discover such a map, very personnal and original.

Congratulations, Sacha your map is exceptionnaly pretty !

Just hope that illwinter.com will put it soon in their map zone.

Very nice map, and I've uploaded it to mosehansen - sadly, someone else created a game in the open slot while I was uploading, but it's there for future games.
