Working on a Midkemia map any Ideas?

[skaternate]

From R.E. Feist novels I am working on a civ map of his world midkimia right now I should have the first map posted by FEB. 4, 2002 I am looking for ideas on what to add and possibly how I should map out resources since he is rather veg in where the resources i midkemia are I do plan on including novindus but I have found the only way to include is to either make it larger than it really is or make it smaller than it really is Ideas I could possibly make the map geographically correct but I would have to make map a huge map and would like to know if any would even play map

If you made this map I would definately play it. in fact if you want some help with this map I would be more than happy. I could either help with the map itself or I could customize the civs so you could actually be the empire of the isles or kesh. I'll check here for a reply in a couple of days ok

im almost finished with a large midkemia map without novindus then I will work on trying to incorporate into a future map I'm not to sure myself on how to customize civs very well so feel free to customize and repost as you see fit the onw thing Im not sure of is what is in Kesh???? all my maps have a big empty area on the bottom that just say empire of great kesh??? the northern half of hte map is easy to fill in but what about kesh? Im also not sure where to place resources, I know I need wine over by darkmoor but im not sure of the rest. I figure I can put some uranium in the green heart but the books arent very descriptive in allocations of many things. I know the quegans have fire oil so queg gets oil. I figure horses by Rillanon any other ideas?

Your right the maps are a bit bland, I'll have a skim through all my books and see if there are any clues in them.

but looking at the map in comparison to the maps in the book I have made several mistakes, but thats because I just free eyed this one in the next map I put out I hope to use clear graph paper and get the proportions right. For now I have just slapped resources here and there but I would like to get them in places more correct to the storyline. Also in regards to kesh I am unsure whats there? They apparently dont drink water or keshians travel a long distance for water, so for now I through in a small river in kesh and on going through the jal-pur desert just to make the game fare for the civ that starts out down there you can find my map in the creation and customazation section of the forom, and I am still looking for ideas on where things go for my next post. Anyhelp would be thankfull

A Midkemia map is an excellent idea! Have you seen the 'unofficial atlas of Midkemia' at www.elvandar.com? It has some good maps compiled from various sources including Kesh and some other kingdoms. Good luck!
