Map of the Atregonese Aigentarate

The "Prime Meridian", it runs through my capital (not an international standard). I don't think I'm happy with the color.

If I'm trying to replicate offset printing, it should probably be closer to the maroon text, no?

Looks very nice to me!

Oh yes, that is a lot better!

I really like this map, great style and layout. The second version I find more pleasing to they eye as well. I think the nations/political regions are a bit too similar in size though, especially the four big ones in the north. Also, I feel the need to point out that in your compass rose, the grey cross between the four fields looks a bit to much like a swastika…

Further modified. Added a bit of height shading to help the contour lines out with some context, re-did ripples around the coast (this time in Illustrator), modified the prime meridian color, and changed a couple of text items.

@Lingon - Planning an overhaul of the administrative regions - as extant, they are merely the pre-determined regions from the canon world map. I intend to knock each into two to six separate regions. The compass rose isn't that, exactly; that is the national symbol, as seen on the flag. Swastika does seem to pop out when outlined, don't it? Not that a swastika has the sort of implications in that world as they do here, but we wouldn't want anyone to get the wrong idea, I suppose.

Excellent work tcberry! I would not done it so quickly.
In every way a better map according to me. Except for the numerous coastal lines. Why did you add more? It was just fine alreay to me.

[tcberry]

Perhaps I was a bit overzealous with the coastline. I've reigned it in a bit, along with a few other minor changes, and a new scale.

Next up is going to be adjusting the subdivisions to fall more in line with Ed Stephan's Division of Territory in Society to make them feel a bit more organic.

Looking at the map, I have a feeling that some of the rivers follow a strange path, flowing on the crest of mountains instead that through valleys.
Besides that, the map is awesome.

[Ilanthar]

I like the improvements!

Truth be told, I kinda agree with feanaaro on rivers and the awesome map.

[tcberry]

There's some strangeness going on with my shading layer. I need to take a look at it. While I inherited the rivers from the world's map and there are indeed some issues, the actual situation appears to be much less dire than originally thought. Red being lowland:

Edit: It appears that the Fractal Terrains shadow/highlight feature is pretty poor. Gonna need to figure something else out.
