Thank you to all the participants for their efforts and entries. Let the voting begin!


Summary of the rules for this month's challenge:

This is another theme challenge, meaning you can do whatever kind of map you like, as long as there is a strong connection to the trading theme.

Some suggestions for possible maps:

- Map of a trading empire, displaying traderoutes or commodity availability.
- Sailor's map (how do you get from Rome to Constantinople by boat without running aground?)
- The Silk Road
- Supply Chain Map
- Star System Resourcing
- Map of a trade building
- Map of a trade ship
- Map of an underground market
- Map of trade fair
etc


Your map must include:

- Anything goes, as long as there's a strong link with the theme.

Good Voting everyone and don't forget to rep the work you liked!

Another group of great entries, and a tough time voting again...

My votes ended up going to Immolate, Ravells & Sapiento in no particular order.

My vote was almost identical to your, SG, except for Coyotemax instead of Ravs. While I did like Ravs map and his innovation of animating it, I think I would have much rather seen a Point A to Point B to Point C to Point D then back to Point A again as a trade route by ship is most often "circular" - kinda, sorta. Ravs just showed Point A to B, which was not enough. Still a great map however, but CM's just was a hair better for me.

As much as I reckon you need to back yourself... I think I've been aced once again by others... so wd to Sapiento, Immolate & Nolgroth...

It was really hard to just pick three. Sapiento, Immolate, and Coyotemax. Roger was next in line but I was limited to three Those are in order of the the level of which these "grabbed" me - not indicating my assessment of quality or execution. Many of the ones I didn't mention wowed me from a technical perspective just the same.

Nice work, everyone!

I've spent so much time mapping this month that I've barely had a chance to look at the other entries, much less do much constructive criticism. I'm going to study these for a bit before voting. I'll try to get my vote in by tonight. It didn't seem as hard to vote when I didn't know much.
