An as yet un-named island

[Lukc]

I think the palette looks great. How are you inserting the place names automatically?

I think the palette looks great. How are you inserting the place names automatically?

It's a bit crude, but it's just a plain old search and replace on the file. The actual code looks like this:

Generators={"Inland Town"=>Town, "River Town"=>RiverTown, "Coast Town"=>CoastTown, "Delta Town"=>DeltaTown, "Lake Town"=>LakeTown, "Mountains"=> Mountains, "Island"=> Island}

$stdin.each do |line|
  Generators.each_pair do |key, gen|
    line.gsub! key, gen.to_s.title_caps
  end
  puts line
end

Yet more names, and a rose.

A scale bar and graticule, some tweaks to the ink effect, some width variation and taper on the rivers and outset effects for the coastlines.

A border, labels for the graticule, and some adjustments to the colours. I've also added a "sketch" effect to the forests to help give them some definition though I'm not entirely sure if I like it yet.

OK, moved the colours back up a bit, dropped my dragon logo into the middle of the rose, switched the scale bar to vertical to make better use of the space, and added a second to the far side of the map, and adjusted the text a little.

I think I'll call it done.
