Central Alemnia REDUX

[Daelin]

A couple of years ago, I made this one map that some people in the Guild thought was pretty neat. A few people thought it was so neat, in fact, that it deserved some special praise. And so the map was awarded the Cartographer’s Choice award, and that sure was pretty cool, and stuff.
Well, recently I’ve gone back and reviewed the map, and as any great artist is want to do, I was immediately struck with a terrible sense of disappointment with just how lackluster the finished product was. Right away I noticed a bunch of mistakes and poor design decisions. And my next thought was, I should try to remedy that.

So here is a reworked version. It's not a completely different map, of course, but I do feel the additions and changes merit a post on the forum. The biggest differences are a re-texturing, replacing the somewhat pointless legend with an island that seems to have recently risen from the very ocean, an updating of the labels... also a whole slew of little changes.

Anyway, hope you like this new version just a bit more than the original.

The original version is found here.

EDIT: And of course immediately after posting the redux version, I go back and make several more minor adjustments, so the old new version is now replaced by a new new final (eh, probably not final) version. Fun times.
