NES World/Regional Maps II

[erez87]

Yeah I did. It wasn't too easy but it wasn't hard seems like no one noticed... duh..

 

[Symphony D.]

No offense intended, but it's kinda wonky... Gonna try working on the details of some parts too.

 

[erez87]

HAHAHA REDONE! Try to beat that!

Now somone add rivers

Italy and Greece look really strange. Other than that, great work

Someone should edit Italy and Greece a bit before adding rivers, though.

you do it. you did it last time no?

 

[Jason The King]

I edited greece last time...many times, lol

Italy, Philippines, Baja California, and Japan needs work

But the rest is good!

 

[Insane_Panda]

Yeah it needs a little bit of editing, and then its done

 

[erez87]

I'm not going to edit it... You can take that honor I did my part

 

[Symphony D.]

Alright, after trying to edit Japan pixel by pixel I got pretty fed up with that map. I decided to try and find something better and after finding a spiffy PDF map I was able to piece this together from screenshots. All it needs is the latitude and longitude lines and national borders wiped, and heavy-island areas (like the South Alaskan coast) need to be tuned up, along with a lot of tiny pacific islands. I'm really digging the thin land borders though. And the accuracy.

 

[Jason The King]

wow, what a fantastic and beautiful map. we do need to, though, enlarge most of the small islands as well so that we can tell who owns them, lol.

 

[Jason The King]

Also, its going to be much harder to place cities and whatnot.

 

[Symphony D.]

I dunno, maybe in the interior, but one of the best parts about the thiner land borders is costal cities will be a lot easier to place realistically. That seemed like a really big problem in places like Japan. Pro/con I suppose.

What might be of some benefit is since the lat/long lines are still in place is they can be temporarily extended over the land for better river placement, if that gets done before oceans are wiped. National borders could help with that too.

 

[Jason The King]

yah, but try placing the city of athens, more then one city in sicily, or crete and denmark. i suppose its necessary, tho, for a better map.

 

[Gelion]

Symphony welcome to the club . Keep working on it - its a great piece of work.

 

[Symphony D.]

Alright, since I don't have much to do I'm going to start on the oceans and such. Something a bit more workable should be up later today.

 

[Insane_Panda]

Tis a most beautiful map, Symphony D.

 

[Xen]

I went ahead and coloure din the seas and all that, but I elected to leave the nation borders, and the lines of Latitude/Longitude, because they can help with river placement.

 

[North King]

By the gods, Xen, how could you use that ocean color? That is the sacred color reserved for Imperial France in all NESes!

 

[Xen]

france-shmance, its more evocative of the deep ocean, and a better guag eof whatthe Oceans color is from Orbit for soem reason, i think Only Insane Panda will be the one to shed any real tears over it
