The Mediterranean map is complete and can be found here:

Final Fantasy 9, huh? I actually almost made that map before. If it's a request, then I suppose I'll have more motivation to make it.
Too bad there's no good way to do that cliff terrain on the Mist Continent. Maybe I'll just use hills to mark where they are.

This map could take a little while. I want to explore the FF9 world map personally to help me make the Civ map, instead of relying solely on a world map image. Unfortunately it looks like I deleted all my FF9 saves a while back, so I'll have to play through the game again up to disc 3 to get the airship to be able to explore freely.

I got tired of playing FF9, so I went ahead and made the map anyway. There are, however, a few parts I am dissatisfied with, but I don't know what to do about them until I can see those areas in the actual game. Do you guys think I should go ahead and post the map anyway, or delay it for several weeks so I can play through FF9 in order to fix a few small areas?
Preview is attached.

I think a few weeks isn`t that bad of a delay if it will result in a better map

These are some really sweet maps Hooray! I really like the Final Fantasy 8 map you made. It gives me the urge to turn it into a full-fledged scenario, but then again, I have enough on my plate that I still need to get done before being so ambitious as to take on another task...
...there is a request I have, however. I've been trying to get a map of this region, but despite immense amounts of tips and tricks from other members (thanks for that again, by the way guys), I'm not too good at getting what I want. I was thinking a 75x105, as that would technically make it a medium sized map, which are actually the size I prefer working on the most, for their playability and for their convenience when making the scenario. So if you decide to help me out here so that I can get to working on this scenario, I would definitely prefer a medium sized map, so not too large please. I'll let you be the judge on the exact proportions of the map.
In terms of the actual map, I would need it just like in that map picture that's posted in the thread I linked to. That means, it should include the eastern edge of France, Belgium and the Netherlands, the southern Danish provinces (don't mind leaving Sweden off though, they are useless in my scenario), Poland and small bits of Russia in the east, Czechoslovakia, and Switzerland. One thing I would like different from the map I posted is having all of Austria on the map you would be making (in the instance you decide to take up my request that is) rather than the cut-off version. That's mainly due to Austria's strong influence on the scenario. I'll gladly answer any other questions concerning the map if need be, and I hope you'll take on my request. I'm confident nothing but the best will come out of it.

Well guys, I hate to say this because I did ask for your advice, but I went ahead and posted the FF9 map anyway. The problems I had with it were very, very minor after all, and I just went ahead and fixed them in a way I felt was appropriate for the sake of gameplay or aesthetics. When it comes to map making, my motto is that it's more important for a map to be fun and playable than necessarily accurate.

Gen. Rommel, I will consider your request. I'm reluctant to do real world historical maps because I think there is more pressure to be completely accurate. Still, I'll think about it.

Alright man, thanks for at least considering it. I hope you decide to do it, your skill is superb. Both the FF8 and FF9 maps look spectacular. I want to play some Final Fantasy themed scenarios on them.

Gen. Rommel, I have attached a picture below. Is it (please ignore the fact that it's an image of modern Europe) basically the area you want covered?
Any images/maps of the region you can provide would be most helpful, especially ones that would give me a good idea of the terrain.

For the most part, that area covers basically what I want. I'd actuallly prefer to pull the southern edge of the map up a bit, so that it sits right on the southern border of Austria. Here's what I had in mind:
Here's the same map with the Prussian borders vaguely drawn in, if that helps any:
You can seem some elevation differences in those maps to help you place mountain ranges and the like, but this map might also help you out:
I'll find more maps if you need them. Just tell me what else you need, i.e. resource placement and the like (unless you don't feel like doing that), etc.

^ Sounds good Takhisis!!! I'm sure Hooray will find such a map extremely useful.

Oh yeah, resources. I'm so used to making clean maps that I didn't even think about that. I would like that, Takhisis.
Elevation maps are good. Are there any maps that would be able to tell me where the forests should go?
Oh, by the way, what do you want the map size and dimensions to be? Personally I would probably make it a little larger than normal Standard size, but that may not be what you want. Just don't ask me to do a Giga map!

As I said, I'm also not really into giga maps, so no worries there. Just make it a medium sized map, the exact dimensions don't have to be 75x105, but at least something around that. That size basically makes it a medium sized map, especially considering the area of land this map would include.
Here's some maps for the forest placement:
This one is of Europe in general. It should show you the general placement of forests within Europe, though it may be a bit hard to tell what's what. All I can really say is place a forest where it's green.
Here's a pretty good one of forest placement within west and east Germany accordingly. Although it may be a bit outdated (considering I had to fuse the east and west German maps), 1972-1981 to be exact, it is actually better than having a more modern map. Don't mind the greens being different in east and west, that's merely because they were two individual maps.
Another map of Germany in particular that may help with forest placement.
I also found another map showing really good elevation differences within Germany, which should help with mountain and hill placement. Do note, however, that Germany should really only have hills on the higher elevations except for far south Germany. I just wanted to add this for further reference.
If you need more maps, don't be scared to ask. Just tell me what areas you still need maps of.

Thank you, Gen. Rommel. Making this map should be simple with these excellent images you've provided me. I'm a little confused by the third one, though, since I can't tell what is supposed to represent what. Well, the others are sufficient anyway.
I'm out of town until Saturday at least, so I can't work on the map until then. I'll be thinking about it, though.
