Description

EDIT: as this was the first map in he series, it was really showing its age. I updated it and you can check out the new version here


I'm calling this one finished for now. I spent far too long working on the topography, though I now have the whole region of the Inner Sea done, so the next few maps in the series shouldnt take too long. There's still room for tinkering (particularly with roads that now pass through very high elevation,which might need to be moved or turned into tunnels, etc.), though I'm happy with the result and want to start work on another map now.


Please let me know what you think in the comments, as I'm always open to input.

C&C are more than welcome, and remember, you can follow my patreon for high-res maps, textless maps, more details on the world and other exclusive content , thanks

A key/legend to the map can be found here



EDIT - I updated the main image, changing the hue/saturation to make the colours pop a bit more, and changing the mask around the nation to make it paler, as well as updating some geographical details to match with the more recent maps in the collection

not sure if that's a compliment or not, but ill assume it is

Though if anything the intention is for it to be like italy

Oh, it was just an observation. But, I really like your maps! I used to use them as a source of inspiration but I've since switched to making stellar maps, for which atlas-style isn't really applicable.

thanks! i'm still not 100% sure on the exact colours for the topography, but it's something that can be easily changed later on

The shading style turned out well! It's always hard to make it look realistic, but this is nice.

thanks, I'm still unsure on the actual colours, and  am still tinkering with the scheme/palette

Excellent map.  Like the topography and the detail on with the ship routes and travel times is a really nice touch.

thanks, it's not something i've seen very often and though it would add some character ~(though it does take a bit of work to calculate, depending on the scale of the particular map
