Resurgence Maps

[Ilanthar]

Among other things, I want to "reboot" my old eggregor settings and improve it. And of course, I need maps to do it properly. It will be a different setting with a part of common things and ideas, and I changed the name to "Resurgence".

Instead of a "new vision" of the solar system, I decided for a multiple system of 4 stars, and therefore, 4 stellar systems.
I've done every major planets and moons and a few possible "nebulous backgrounds".

I began with the more distant system.
Its quite advanced but I'm not so sure of the layout and clarity of the different parts... This background is very good for legibility. I will probably try another one for the stellar systems view, and possible for the other systems.

Imortant note :
I used directly or with modifications, textures coming from Robert Stein III, under CC.
- Mercari (use of Planet Dawn Texture)
- Helios (use of Tao Seti Texture)
- Hephaesti (use of Trantor texture).
- Nivelion (use of Blink texture).
------------------------------------------
And textures from celestiamotherlode.net
- Thartar (use of Boliverius Alvera Sagittarii v1 "moon 2" texture)
- Medgaria (use of Laudomia texture in the Alaraph system)

Oh... my... goooodness... me!

That is just awesome!

WOW!!! O_o that is amazing... I'm almost speechless.

If this map showed up in a scifi game or on screen in scifi movie it would have looked completely believable and at home.

It's hard to even BEGIN thinking of anything out of place. Joh... this is something.

Thanks a lot guys! I'm not quite sure of how organizing things, to be honest. I just had some issues with the more "bright" part of the nebula and for more cohesion, I decided to go with all "nations tiles" on the same line. It leaves a blank zone, though...

The other background didn't really worked well. I probably used just one of them for the general stellar systems map.

Not sure it's clear that the bottom left part is a comparative size of planets/main moons and the bottom right a distance chart.

Man this is really amazing! I think that the new layout is an overall improvement. It does leave a little blank space between the planets and their nation tiles, but it's not confusing and it doesn't bother me.

Hmm, I'm not sure. I quite liked the nations tile format of the first WIP in this thread. Try it like the first one, descending on the one side and then ascending on the other side. Like a \_____/
(this brainstorming here, but like I said, I could imagine it being aboard a ship and someone opening it like Minority Report and the stuff is ascending slightly away from the person as he/she operate the map. I think that would look cool.) But I'm just one opinion and you are already off to a cracking start with the reboot.

Thanks Daniel .

Well, I changed the orientation of the tiles as well as the national emblems. I think it's better this way and it will be more easy to put multiple nations for one planet (as it is in an other system).

@XCali : why not. I'm not decied yet. I'll keep this orientation for the tiles, but I may not keep them aligned. Its gonna be clearer when I'll do th frame, I guess.

WOW!! This looks so cool. Did you make the planet textures yourself?
All I have to say, is that it is really awesome.

Thanks a lot, Josiah. Well, I didn't do all of the 66 textures (when counting rhe other systems), but I did or rearranged most of them since I want to get some usable world maps as well.
Here's Neogea (without the clouds) for example.

I changed things a bit (positions and national emblems, mainly) and added some more data.

You create magnificent worlds with a simple snapping of your fingers! Very impressive !
