WOW!

Your technique is flawless. I find it amazing how you started from such a simple template and have morphed it into what you have there...

[Pat]

Dito What Besk said.....

[wouanagaine]

Wow, it really comes nicely !

[blade2k5]

Thanks to all NHP teammates and Pat for the kind words on this new map project and Heb's is right, it does kinda look a bit like Greece.  And no Besk, my technique isn't flawless, I just happen to be very good at hand drawn maps...after all, I've been drawing maps for more than 3 decades [started when I was 12 and had to draw a map of the British Isles for a 6th grade report on England I had to do ]  Oh, and I hope your lower jaw is ok from hitting the floor   Shadow, I hope you like how this turned out   Now, without further adieu....

Here's the finished version's overview pic from sc4tf, I haven't begun to open the tiles yet, will do that tomorrow [Friday]


And here are 4 sideview pics taken in sc4tf.....






This one is looking over the crater rim and showing the pond in the carter center.

I should have the RC image up Fri afternoon or Fri night   Thanks for dropping by and taking a peek

Beautiful map, I think it will be very playable too! 

[Pat]

oooooooh Troy that is just wonderful!!! very good job there 

[blade2k5]

Thanks Pat and Ennedi for the kind reviews   I hope this map is very playable and user friendly, I designed it to be that way.  We will soon find out I guess.

I just finished doing some touch-ups on the new map and began to wonder if maybe I should add in a few more isles or leave it as is?  What do you guys and gals think?  Other than that, the map is finished and ready to be packaged up.....oh, and Beskhu3epnm will break it down for me into a series of mini-maps that will be packaged together as a mega-pak for those that prefer smaller maps to play on.   Stay tuned for further developments

[Pat]

Its great as it is Troy, Don't you dare do a thing to it....

[bat]

Yes, that map is looking really beautiful! Fantastic work on it!!

[blade2k5]

Thanks Pat   Thanks bat   Barsalonia is now available for your downloading pleasure at a LEX or STEX near you   Let me know how it plays for thos who dl it.  Thanks for dropping by and enjoy

Amazing!

I think I'm going to use it for my next region. I'm going to skew it up and to the right a little because if you do that then you would get almost perfect map division. Without small edges of the land mass going over to the next map

Thank you.

[blade2k5]

I just recently started developing the Barsalonia map myself, but with a twist.  Instead of doing the whole region at once, I broke it down into 5 sections, a 4x4, 3x4, 3x3 and two 3x2's and am currently developing the 4x4 north-eastern section.  It's been a fun map to build cities on and hope that you have as much fun working on it as I have so far.

[blade2k5]

Ok, the Barsalonia Mini-Map Pak has been uploaded exclusively to the LEX  

[Pat]

That looks real good there Blade!!! Great job on those maps buddie..

[Heblem]

nice maps!  i like the shape of the islands

[blade2k5]

Thanks guys   That north-eastern sector of the map is the one I've been developing and posting pics of in the show us your region pics thread.  I may also break the Dragonmounts map as well [it's an 11x14 larg tile map], but I may have to upload that in two packs as it's a 9+mb map.  If I do, I'll be posting the news here

[rooker1]

This is a fantastic group of maps.  You really have done a great job on these.

Thanks Robin

Hi, Blade.

You've done a very nice job "chunking" up your Barsalonia map.  I must say that your method of doing so sure looks familiar...   

Seriously, though, I do like your map.  Great work!

Regards,

Gary
