Got a good answer with information I can work further on with.

I have found - hopefully all - places, where the mapedges doesn't fit perfectly.

I have also found some information about bevel a map. GIMP has such a filter/tool too. Next step is to find out how to use it..........

I'll update here as the work goes along.



Hi!

It's a good mix. You should have used the HQ version though: http://static.visual-utopia.com/images/shatteredworlds_HQ.jpg

You *did* think about the overlaps! :) There are some artifacts and butterfly effects along the edges though.

You can find all maps and images on http://static.visual-utopia.com/images/

Tip for making the mountain ranges is to use the "bevel" tool, it also works for the sea borders and rivers.

Hope everyone likes it and that we get to play the map some day it took alot of work :D

with all that grass around, wouldn't the volcano's be inactive?
i just think the grass would be dried with all of them.

also there are 4 points of interest (depending on the size of the area) that all KD's will flood to as a starting point.

also could we have the tree's bend around the frozen mountains. with a gloss of snow on them?

other than that... the map looks awesome :P

P.s im being a c0ck it looks nice :p

I was thinking the same but time on the map and space in the map are an issue, I have tested city sizes on the map and the second stage buildings fit perfectly each end of the bridges that are rounded at the ends and the map has about the same kingdom space as the snow map.

Blood Lord Trumpdoggmillionaire Forget bout more Artwork on your Map mate, its Look sooooo Awesome 😱😲❤❤💖💖💖 We need this Map from NEXT Era if Ratio is right 😂😂😂 ZeTa pls Enable this.


Macmax nice job 💖❤ ask Zeta to enable it ☺👍👍


10:07:40 Oct 24th 17 - errorwick (Mr. Eridisius):

Agreed, nice work, this should be thrown in so we can have something new.


11:10:49 Oct 24th 17 - Night Talon Lord Ivanho (Mr. Balgruuf Vanguard):

Yup please 😢😢😢 tired of same old maps 😂


17:58:09 Oct 24th 17 - Nayoke the Kid (Mr. Eros Wears Sombreros):

If you can McMax you should see if you could work with ZeTa on making sure the edges on mountains, trees, etc are lined up correctly if possible to ensure blockers are more successful 


19:17:39 Oct 24th 17 - McMax (Battlemage Mcmax The Noble):

Well I don't know the exact size on the cities (in pixels). Further I don't know how cities made at bridges are placed (I don't know if bridges are something special).

But I have had in mind, that my map should be very difficult to control for a very big kingdom - at least they should really work for their success. If some "choke-points" can't be blocked, well let it be so.

Just remember, I'm still working on the map - right now I'm working most on the land making the "borders" between coast and inland more fluffy. But still keeping the diffenrence between coasts and water.


19:18:44 Oct 24th 17 - McMax (Battlemage Mcmax The Noble):

And by the way. Admin has already got a mail with my latest version.


19:49:37 Oct 24th 17 - Night Talon Lord Ivanho (Mr. Corrupted Blood Shade Vampire):

Wow nice McMax 😃👍👍

Great job 💖💖❤❤
