Default Re: World of Warhammer - Released!

I did a resize of 200% and with a single level of the blur filter (Photoshop), the blockiness disappears. The problem of course it that the white dots have to be reapplied as the blur filter will render them greyish as opposed to white. Then the province connections have to be redone. I almost started trying to do this myself, but then realized that there was likely no way I could do it without screwing up the intended relationships.

I've tried a few resizing methods so far and ran a draft form of a larger map image through the editor. It's looking good, size-wise, but I need to get to bed now for an early morning. If I can pull off the resize perfectly and lay the white dots (also resized and trimmed) down on it, the same .map files will work. I'll update on this tomorrow evening.

Congratulations Zepath for completing the map. I'm sure it will become one of my favorites.

I've done a 200% resize with a weighted average resize (somewhere between blocky pixel resize and the filtered, blurring resize functions). The white dots played along and I ran the larger map image through Dom3 with the same .map file without an issue. The attachment at the top of the thread now includes the larger map file in place of the original. Let me know what you all think of the difference.

Thanks WraithLord!

Oh and I almost forgot to say: Thanks Zepath, this is real high quality work. I look forward to the full warhammer world map. Take your time with it so you don't burn out :]

Thank you ever so much for the larger map Zepath. This does indeed make all the difference. And thank you for doing it so quickly.
