June-Aug '21 Lite Challenge: Ruins of Tiasarpa

[The Elderly Cartographer]

Very unique. It must have taken a lot of time. I like the way the river has fallen, so the ancient bridges stand taller now.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone! Thanks to Kisachik's feedback, I tried adding some roads to the desert map. I hope they look more like packed-earth trails than proper paved roads (which is why I hid the road outlines).

Plus I tweaked a few things that had been bothering me - such a complete lack of sphinxes:

Very cool concept here. I like your map Nonethewiser

[Arimel]

That looks great. The roads really help to link it altogether. And not have sphinxes is a definite problem, even if it is just because you don't have the fun of saying 'sphinx' (it is a fun word to say!).

[The Elderly Cartographer]

Much better.

[Kisachik the Wanderer]

Hi again!

Packed dirt roads is exactly what I imagined desert roads would look like. It's still sandy but shows how traveling creates such trails. Very cool.

[Bogie]

I agree with everyone, the roads look good.

[Marcolino]

Amazing map. Some kind of Roman and South American builds together. I love it.

[Meshon]

Oh that's a cool idea. I really like the opportunity to see into the history of the place.
Cheers,
Meshon
