Default Re: Is there a guide or overview on how to make a map?

personally I haven't done that much but the one I've made (whatever else you can say about them) wraps nicely.

Just make the borders be in the middle of a province, same for the corners. Then you just have to match the border on the left with the border on the right, most graphic programs have some sort of X/Y number for each pixel so that should be pretty easy.

My wrap around water map (not that much of a map for the rest) is a nice example IMHO. Of course I've hand drawn the borders so after they leave the edge it's not that nice and the rest isn't either but it wraps nicely

And of course you need to do the same for the edges of land, forest and all things drawn in the provinces but I'd avoid to much on the edges of the map where it wraps would only complicate things.. better to leave extra's on one side of the border.
