Is this an improvement?

Much better!

I really like the cacti as well. What a great piece of work and all the more so because it's modular and you can't see the joins.

Although I will wait until after this challenge is over, I've been thinking about creating bonus packs that fit themes other than Old West, using the same mountain modules.

Because of the flat top nature of these mountains indicative with American desert southwest, a mapper might reserve the use of these mountains to creating old west only maps. I think they have more value than that.

Keeping the desert southwest theme, I might create an Azteca pack containing ziggurat pyramids, rectangular sun temples, pueblo type communities, cliff-dwelling sites, additional slot canyon modules too.

Medieval fantasy with a few castles and towers, temples, paved road mods, and walled desert communities, even a small colleseum arena.

Finally, a Sci-Fi themed pack with Starports and flat-top landing zones, outpost mining communities, tunnel entrances to place into the face of a vertical slope mountain module for underground bunker/prison/military outpost. Also planetary defense guns, field generators, etc.

How about a Stargate?

I think adding additional packs in different themes would expand the use of mountain modules in designing any artistic style map requirement.

Thoughts?

YES!

Er... pardon my enthusiasm. Really, though, this is jaw-dropping work. It makes me want to write a Western campaign just so I can use all the bits you've made. Come to think of it, I think I know somebody's who has a Sidewinder rulebook...

Ooh! This would be perfect for a Firefly game! That's an even better idea!

Definitely make more symbols for it, this is too good for the Western RPG'ers to have all to themselves!

OK, I've created a webpage containing all currently available map objects for my November Challenge entry.

I still plan to create 20 more mountain modules before the month is over, as well as an oasis symbol and 8 railway symbols.

Additionally, I should be uploading the "non-old-west" theme objects sometime during this week - Azteca, Medieval, Sci-Fi.

Anyway, feel free to download my mountain modules to play with in your respective mapping applications.

holy moley that's a lot of downloads!

Is there any chance you could put all the symbols of each category into a zip file?

Cheers
