Swargey's Huge Map 2016-10-05

[Swargey]

This map is just something I did in my free time since some people seemed to like my maps. It's a huge continental map, see second post for the preview.

As always suggestions and questions are welcome. Criticism is okay so long as it is constructive.

And I recommend this terrain pack with the map.

Here is the map.

I will put it in the map editor tonight for a better look, but I like the looks of the minimap. Thanks much for posting it. Also, being a decidated penguin fan, and having a collection of stuffed penguins, along with a small library on those most fascinating of birds, I like your Avatar.

I downloaded this too, but have yet to play it. I took a look in editor, and it looks good. Thanks for uploading it.

Heh, if thats a comment on my naming skills then I agree, they are bad

But thanks for the compliment

Have a questioin for you, if you care to answer it, Swargey. Do you generate the maps with the editor and then modify them, or do you make them from scratch?

No, just a compliment.

Nine out of ten times I will just make it from scratch, every once in awhile I'll modify a random one though.

I don't really like just modifying the random maps though, removing 500 spots of jungle and marsh sucks ...plus it doesn't really feel like my work.

I am impressed that you make them from scratch, as you do an excellent job. I tweak them a little bit, but not a whole lot, mainly in order to get a couple of real good starting positions. For my maps, I use the map generator and play with various numbers for the starting seed, then I work with them a bit, adding things here and deleting them there. I can understand why you prefer making them yourself. I have a couple that I would like to make from scratch, using either maps from stories that I have read, Jules Verne's Mysterious Island for one, game scenarios that I have in my library, or some early maps prior to the makers really knowing what the World looked like.

Again, I greatly appreciate your efforts. Thank you so very much for your work.
