The Lofoten Islands to be precise; they sport numerous jagged mountains and quaint little villages.

G'Day Devotees,

Thanks Marsh, three Canaries are on the lex and the other four will go on to the stex in a few days.

Une_Ame, that sounds like a big project, I will have to drop by and check it out. Thanks.

Thanks TownMaster, you enjoy yourself now.

Maestro, Yep they be craters, and yep I can be popping a map like that into the map-o-matic.  Thanks mate.


Oh, oh, small show.

And for todays map another request from several months ago that almost got thrown out with the bath water.


Concepcion is 53.248km x 53.248km


Thanks to Nerdthisname for requesting Concepcion, I think Chilean1 will be pleased too that this has finally seen the light of day.


That's it for today.
Thanks for looking and have a great day.

I would like to make a request of all of the Baltic countries

[dobdriver]

G'Day Devotees,

Thanks Pivz, Thanks for your request.
However with the size of the Baltic nations it would require about forty 80km x 80km maps to cover them. If you have more specific areas of coverage you would like, please let me know, thanks.

And on with todays show.

Spare Atoms, spare atoms.


Nelson is 45.056km x 32.768km


Nelson lies 35km northeast of the geographic centre of New Zealand.


And that's it for today.


Thanks for looking and have a great day.


And a great Christmas if you celebrate it.



Thanks and cheers.

Uau, I didn't know that would have to use all this... Well, for me the map doesn't need to be in the right scale, I think if you managed to do in two maps (North and South) of 52x40 km, or in only one of 52x80 km, will be great.
thanks

[Aldini10]

Wow, you sure are going to make smoke creep out of the map-o-matic, but that would be a bad thing. These maps are great, can't believe that you're making these so quickly. Well done, and I am one step closer to playing Sc4 once again!

[dobdriver]

G'Day Devotees,

I trust all have had a very merry time and are now recovered from their hangovers.

Pivz, I shall put something together for you no worries.

Aldini, I hope you have had a joyous feastive season. The old map-o-matic does smoke up a bit, but I keep her well oiled and purring like a kitten. Thanks little mate. 


Todays show is courtesy of Maestro. Thanks big fella, your choices are always terrific!




Austvågøy is 57.344km x 81.92km




Vestvågøy is 61.44km x 65.536km


Austvågøy and Vestvågøy make up the Lofoten Archipelago in the north of Norway. Brrr, very cold one should think.

These are available on a stex or lex near you.


Thanks for looking and have a great day.

G'Day Devotees,

Hmm, well here is an interesting conundrum, I like Blade received a request for Santiago but from Flamingshadow556. Thankyou Flamingshadow. Now previously I have had no qualms about uploading maps that others had previously made and uploaded but to be requested and ready at almost identical times is a little strange. I haven't really decided yet what I might do. Anyhow here is the map I produced.


Santiago is 69.632 x 65.536km


As one can see it is quite a bit larger than Blade's map at 17x16 tiles and includes some of the Andes up to 4952m. You can view Blade's map here.


Thanks for looking and have a great day.


Cheers

G'Day Devotees,

Well that conundrums sorted and one can find Santiago on the stex.


And for today another request, this came from TheFirstish over at Simtrop. Thanks TheFirstish.



Seminole County is 53.248km x 32.768km


Seminole County is situated in Florida, kinda flat but every tile has some water in it.


Till we meet again, thanks for looking and have a great day.


Cheers

Augustine Island is 57.344km x 57.344km

G'Day Devotees,

How on earth are you patient enough to render all these maps...   

Oh it doesn't take that long Marsh. I can render a 10 by 10 map in about 35 minutes. Glad you like the Rockies, Thanks.


Well for todays show and tell, yes it's another request map. Again it's in the US and was requested by Wraner at Simtrop. Thanks


Muncie is 36.864km x 32.768km


Muncie is in the heart of the Manufacturing Belt in Indiana and produced tough gearboxes for GM through the sixties and seventies.


We're done and dusted for the day, Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Hi Mr. Dobdriver!

Would you be at all interested in doing a map of Muscle Shoals, Alabama? Looks like an interesting area to build on, and it's famous for FAME Recording Studio and Mucle Shoals Sound Studios (Aretha Franklin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Allman Brothers, Eric Clapton, Rod Stewart, etc., etc.)
