First Update with Cities
Inner Sea 1.jpg
Dear Colleagues,
this project is a modern map of a modern atlas and itīs focussing on the antique Porgunesian Maritime Confederartion at the large Inner Sea and it shows the Confederation at itīs peak before Ithillic, Dschabari, Chasseram Invasions and the Big Outlandish Raid of Morderan, the Corruptor.
You can see the "Empire" covering almost all the Coastlines of the Large Inner Sea, offering optimal internal trading routes and Starting point to expand the Confederarionīs own power range in the past.
The Maritime Confederation is made up of three formerly hostile city-states, which grew larger in the course of two centuries and fought bitterly in the seven Porgunesian Wars until Porgunes prevailed and founded the League with the other two states. Under Porgunesian hegemony,
the League of Nations emerged and the three states converged so vastly along the coasts that virtually an empire was founded that had a tremendous strength both militarily and economically for the time.
The Map ist showing the most important sea-trading routes between the main harbours, the three states and their expansion, the economical backgrounds (not yet realised) and the locations of the Army Legions and the mobile Legions.. The red circles show,
starting from the large military ports, one- or two-day ranges of the military naval force.

At the moment, it's very difficult to see the difference between land and sea. Are you going to differentiate them at some point?

Yes Wingshaw, of course. The land will be white to light grey, except the regions belonging to the confederation. Even the water will be more differenciated and textured later
kind of like this:

That last map is really good looking in my opinion, has really peaked my interest in your project ! I will look forward to anymore updates
That's a very interesting map - I like all the information you got into it.
I also had some problem to distinguish land from sea but the last map looks really good!
Thanks Rubikia and Neyasha. I try to create a map like those in historical atlases, which were used in school for history lessons and for that, Iīll try to implement as much information as possible, without being confusing.
Some further improvements on the map:
edited coastlines
edited regional configuration
additional texts
improved coloring
optimized the order of Photoshop lvels
added the mountain texture
