I'm not very good with maps, but how about what ever you think would be medium size?

i think LouLong will make such a map soon.
 
Thank you:D
 
But you did tell me Loulong was making one.:goodjob:

How does Loulong make those maps so rapidly? India,Egypt, and South Africa in the span of about two weeks?

Eerr, the idea is very good but I need to finish 5 maps before so don't expect it too soon.
Yoda, I think Arabia should be included too. No ?

How ? Well, I am French ! That's how and why. :D :D

More seriously. I use a map utility (at Apolyton) that I use to convert maps I take from the national geographic map generator. Just use the tool to make the main coastline. Then I do the rivers (I am really careful with rivers since they are good references) and different terrain types.
As for the resources, it is a mixture of atlas (geographical and historical), National Geographic map generator (natural resources options) and knowledge. I have actually pbs with fish and salpeter but the rest is usually fairly accurate.

pb with the map utility, it converts only a few sizes (and always squared ones).
 
so you also use the map utility by John Avram, i think im one of the last that still uses "the old way". BTW map making is a pretty fast doing thing, i made a Africa map in two hours. It has not been posted on the internet, because its for something "secret".
 
Actually I just use it to draw coastal lines from pictures, full stop.
I just make costs/desert to make the costs. Everything else (including lakes/islands) is done by hand. Since I don't have Civ2 PC I don't import Civ 2 maps either.
Well, the coast is usually the big trouble, especially considering the stretching in Civ3, so that helps me a lot but not too much.
I mean it would take me more than two hours to get a complete African map (depends on the size though ;) ).
 
here is a pic of my africa map, i dont remember the exact size, but you get the idea.

I'm not going to rush you LouLong:D
 
Its not a bad map, but u should realise that Europe is about 1/4 the size of Africa, not 1/2 its size.

yes i do, but it would be nearly impossible to make europe detailed if it was the correct size.
