Default Re: The map that will never be

I'm going to vote for solid, translucent, and dashed borders, all in one map. Why? Because that way, it looks more like a real map, with crazy regional dividers, with a human behind it, crossing things out and modifying things behind the scenes.

For reasons of clarity, though, I'll go with translucent lines.

Kris O - do you have the sea / land as separate layer files? I don't want to be presumptuous or anything, and I am sensitive to the tremendous amount of creative ownership you've put into this map... but I was interested in applying some of the shading/ texturing effects I experimented with for my Antilarium map. It's a major effort you have here, and I was moved to see if I could make a small art contribution.

The map has several layers.

Background, waterlayover, grass, stuff, forest, civilization, borders, dots. IIRC.

I intend to give you the layered gimp-file so you can cut and paste mountains and sites into your own maps.

Testing attachments in the new forum.

I'm also testing the picture gallery.

Cave provinces added to map.

With so many interesting images on the map I am eager to see a .map file with creative provinces (in addition to a just-play .map file)

I can't believe anyone is going to sully this gorgeous map by covering it in all manner of troops and castle/temple icons! Shame on you blasphemers! At least, make a vow not to rut all over this beauty with your base urges, until you have had the map silk screened onto heavy linen that can be hung in your war room, as it belongs.
