OK I go for nr 8 as it seems no one is interested in this litle area of splendidness. This should be fun....I hope.

Welcome on board Clercon, 8 is yours. Good to have you and nice to fill in that block too.

I'm going to up and say that now I'm actually in photoshop and messing with this I'm going to want to make a few modifications to the coastlines, lakes and rivers, mountains, etc. The randomly generated map is good for a base, but it just doesn't feel right to me. Could be just because I'm working from a tiny image and had to up-rez it myself, which means it probably isn't very accurate in any case, but either way I need to be happy with what I'm working on, I think that is pretty much the only way I'll be able to keep my head in this.
As long as everything lines up with my neighbors, am I a-okay as far as ya'll concerned?
SO, BIG question before we get tooo far in our mapping efforts. There is a Great Tutorial for Fractal Terrains (Redrobes did not do it, but links it here: http://www.cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?t=1753)
So, do we want to 'play' with our glob for a few moments, perhaps adjust them inland seas and stuff and then go forward?

My view is that we can make adjustments in our maps rather then adjusting the globe using FT. My reason for saying this is that unless you actually have FT and can produce your regional outline and bump map at high enough res to use it directly, you are going to be doing some fudging anyway. Most people (like Venardhi and I) dont have FT and wil be using lower res images which we will have extrapolate into large maps by cheating or by just plain old manual copying. I'm not sure how anybody else feels though.

yeah, i'm fudging a few things myself. don't really have a coastline to deal with, just hills and mountains.
also, are we settling on a scale yet or is it "do what feels right"?
and since when did these plague victims start showing up on our lands?
OK so I had some time to sit down and just draw out my piece of land. Just water and land so far. But I thought I put it up here for my neighbors to see (so they can match my borders).
Anyway how are we going to do this? Just put everything in this thread or start one thread per map?
Hi Clercon
Nice start. I think we should have a new thread for every map. If we want to give info regarding features that overlap into other threads we should probably post in those threads (when they are up).
Here is the latest landgrab status map.
