Gadash, The Ancient Continent of Heroes

[TK.]

It's a nice map. One thing you might consider is that your trees are half the height of your mountains, and your cities are double the size of an entire mountain. This can work in some maps, but it always looks strange, and the viewer has to mentally convert that by saying, "it's deliberately outsized".

Certainly, but the idea was that the creator of the map skewed proportions according to his own beliefs and levels of importance.

Wayfarer Union Trading Center, for example, is actually represented bigger than mountains because it's the pulsing center of commerce for the whole continent and even beyond that. "The 12 Dons" even managed to deal and actually buy the now renamed "Cupolla Mountains" from the rest of the world, dealing and paying for recognition and legitimacy from each and every nation with relevancy.

That said, I'm certain I could achieve this in a more subtle and consistent way, naturally giving this feeling to the viewer. Thanks for the insight!


@@Just to add some meta info, dunno if people like it, but I always like these kind of "easter eggs" of sorts:

- All Sidhe cities and places are from Gäelic names - Gwynlein feud uses gaelic names starting with "A"; Fiona feud uses gaelic names starting with "B"; Sorak feud uses gaelic names starting with "C"
- Almost all Olorok cities and places use names of types of salami or cheese, with a slightly change in some letters and their families and lineages use names of famous mafia families
- All the Human hideouts after they broke free from slavery under the Ad'yzztrals are collectively called "Quilombos" and use real names from historical brazilian quilombos https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quilombo
- Nomadic tribes settlements use mongolian names from different ages
- Ad'yzztral cities and feuds use japanese resembling names

Hope it's interesting for people
