If those maps were women I'd hit them like a freight train.

That's so weird. I feel the same about pretty maps, but I am gay. That makes maps both male and female!
When did the Arctic circle become the Mediterranean?

Since it melted?

So that's why I was thinking "Nice custom map... seems familiar though... wonder how he did it so fast..."! Still, can you tell us how you get that old, spotty map effect?

What he's saying is that this map is phat.

It involves layering information output from a program called ArcGIS. You set the relief layer to multiply in Photoshop, or whatever its equivalent is in GIMP.
Technically the levels of this layer should be toyed around with to prevent the graying effect on the white background, but that'd also require some contrast manipulation to keep the relief itself sharp.

So here's a preview of a preview I have in store for my PreNES. Only the top half is really done.

this is not for a NES, it is for something else. Anyone have a good Mercator projection world map? I just need a blank map, with rivers maybe. Thanks in advance.
Does not compute.
Anyway...
How about this one?
I had one with rivers but I lost it. I'll post it here if I find it again.

This might help
EDIT: Mercator or not, I'd like to see someone run an NES with this map just to annoy people who object with the relative sizes of landmasses.

I know, Mercator sucks.
What I am trying to do is see if I can overlay a Vicky 2 map on top of that, and Mercator would be easiest for that.

No, Miller would be easiest for that, because the V2 map is a Miller projection, not Mercator. Conveniently, the map LoE posted is in the Miller projection.

Anyone have a good map of Europe and the Med? Thanks in advance
