Default Re: Map-in-Progress: Ye Olde Worlde

These are the starting locations I'm considering for the Early Ages Dom3 nations in the Warhammer World*:

Arcoscephale Tilea
Ermor Empire
Ulm Sylvania/Border Principalities
Marverni Bretonnia
Sauromatia Kislev/Northern Darklands
TienChi Cathay
TirNaNog Albion
Mictlan Lustria
Abysia Southern Darklands
Caelum Ulthuan
Ctis Araby
Pangaea Loren
Agartha Under-empire
Vanheim Norsca
Helheim Naggaroth
Niefelheim Chaos Wastes
Kailasa Ind
Yomi Nippon
Atlantis Atlantic
Rlyeh Pacific
Oceania Indian

* Keep in mind, sea-lanes, subterranean networks, and the whims of Chaos will allow land nations to more easily cross water and break out from starting locations

I actually think the empire is basically Ulm.

Start off as Sigmar led and Ulric worshipping barbarian tribes (EA Ulm), then become heavily armoured (MA Ulm), then get darker after a civil war and have chaos/vampire infestations (LA Ulm).

Zepath I didn't intend to buy that program but if you send me the files used to created overland maps and I then create a map for you (and the rest of the world) then my consience is satisfied

I'd just give them back to you.. in a way I'd just work for you with your tools.. just not on your comp.

don't you agree?

Alright, I'm firmly on solid ground again and can continue building this map. Joy of joys, I get to do it on a brand new gaming rig

Sombre: I suppose you are right about that. I got my hands on the Empire army book again and Ulm really is the most appropriate Dom3 nation to stand in. That still begs the question of where Ermor belongs.

Aezeal: Not a bad justification. PM me and we can figure it out.

A preview of Bretonnia, starting location for Marverni and Man and the home of the chivalric Arthurian kingdom that bears its name in the Warhammer mythos. The feature in/near the Massif Orcal, that very small southern mountain range, is the Black Chasm -- a Skaven lair -- and a hint of what I have in store for the Under-empire and cave provinces in the Warhammer World.

Athel Loren is also in this pic. It will be the starting location for Pangaea or alternately a very tough special province in games that don't include Pangaea.

Here's another preview for the interested audience. This is the Badlands region located to the south of the Empire and the Border Principalities. Pictured are the Marshes of Madness in the west and to the east on the shore of the Sour Sea is Nagashizzar, below which lies the Cursed Pit, and a number of dwarf and skaven holds beneath the mountains.

That map is going to look VERY nice when it's done. I'm really looking forward to it!
