I love this map. I have really enjoyed following you making it.

I am not sure if I love the coloring. It lacks contrast. All of it sort of muddles together. Nothing pops out. The cities blend into the background.

Personally, I would love to see a version with a bit more contrast. But then that might just be me.

Still my favorite map.

I had suggested the low contrast. In my mind, the original high contrast coloring would make the very large swaths of untouched land look very out of place. Ilanthar seemed to agree as he kept that final format. His original colors were great(with what little he had), but would make the empty areas stand out even more as bright as they were.

Thanks a lot guys!

I redid the mini-map, though. I wasn't completely satisfied by my quick test... I hope you'll like the new one as well!

@ Abu Lafia : yup, I don't know what *** I did... I (quickly) remade them.

Thanks a lot JCW. About the colors, well, I kinda agree with Jfrazierjr, hence my choice .
Thanks again Bjorn, I appreciate !

Don't forget to label this gorgeous with 2017. We're in February and this is a serious contender for Map of the Year... And for Cartographer's Choice!

Just a quick aside... Pixie, we've managed to overcome the tagging issue for the Atlas Awards. Redrobes managed to put together a gallery of thumbnails, and it pulls the thread creation date from the database, so no tags are required unless someone wants to tag their maps for personal use, of course. In case you missed it, you can see Redrobes' comment about the gallery here.

Also, I agree about the Cartographers' Choice!

Thank you both, you're too kind !

PS : I think I did used a feb 2017 tag .
