WIP - Total Overhaul - "Outremer"
This thread is going to be for a total overhaul on a map that I did some time ago for a home grown RPG based loosely on a combination of themes ranging from dnd inspired high fantasy to real world mythology and no small amount of my own imaginings.
This map is about to undergo a complete and total overhaul. By the time I am done with it, I am hoping to finally be happy with it as a completed world. That will take a substantial amount of work, and as we are actively playing in this world, things with the mapping will also change as it is worked on.
Along the way though, I am sure I will stumble across things that I do not have the experience in mapping to figure out on my own, and I will also reach out periodically simply for opinions.
Changes I would like to implement are as follows...
- Brighter colors in some locations. (Suggestions welcome)
- Differentiation of swampland and forests from all the rest of the green. (Suggestions welcome)
- Better looking snowy land. Right now it just looks flat white. (Suggestions welcome)
- Extension, height increase or better pathology of some mountain ranges. I think I have this one covered, but any tips on mountain realism in general would be welcome.
- Total overhaul of the design method for the river systems and incorporation of minor rivers and tributaries. I think I have this covered... maybe. lol
- Considering total overhaul of the lake system in northwest portion of map, also considering addition of other small bodies of water elsewhere. (Suggestions welcome)
- Borders for political entities. (Strong ideas already set, but some fluidity based on current campaign)
- Icons designating cities, significant fortresses, and other primary locations. (Suggestions welcome)
Here is the old version of the map. Questions, comments, and anything else you'd like to say will always be welcome.
