Hi there civfanatics, for my first post im announcing a work in progress, a ginormous map of Arda for all those fantasy battles :D

At the moment I just have to finish laying out Middle-Earth. Im hoping to have a basic playable version out by the end of next week :)

Welcome to the Forums. :)

You might want to head over to the Arda Mod in the Project & Mod Development section and let them know. They may be very interested in your map, if it is really good. Though, they'll probably want a smaller version so more people can play.

Also, I look forward to your map eagerly. I am a big LOTR's fan.

I'll have to look into that, but im not sure how much smaller i could make the map without losing details, but maybe I can see about that when the maps done.

I'm sort of doing a mix of ages on the map, I've got Valinor, Númenor, Beleriand and Middle-Earth all on one map. I've been using Karen Fonstad's Atlas to lay everything out.
I should be starting to put the map into civ tomorrow :D

Hey, i'm glad that you are still working on this magnificent project! I'm really looking forward to it....Good luck with it, I hope that you finish it soon! Thank you a lot!!

It would have been out already, but the beach has been calling me of late. But the map is going well and will hopefully play as well as it looks :)

chop chop. sounds good.

Do you have a screenshot? It would be nice to have a map with more than just the LOTR Middle-Earth region... include more distant parts of Rhun & Haradwaith, Morrenor (the Dark Continent further south), and Aman in the west.
