Map Thread XIII

[OAM47]

Speaking of such basemaps, is there a thread with the standard world basemap with the boxes already drawn for adding a key? Perhaps asking in the basemap thread would be a logical place to do so, but notice over the past page or so people have used it so figure it's topical

If you click the image, you'll get access to the full-sized version. This map has been created for the MotF contest over on althistoria.

What's the contest challenge?

 

[Bleh]

I attempted at enhancing your map a little, there.

Actually a really interesting idea: with a nearly unbroken strip of land from the North Pole to the South Pole, life in the Indian Ocean is going to be quite different from that of the Pacific Ocean with some really interesting exchange at the few points of contact.

What's the contest challenge?

Here's the original challenge.

The Challenge
Make a map, or several maps, contrasting the world or a part of it as it is depicted to the denizens of a totalitarian state by their government and how the world actually is.

Bottom-right corner

 

[Beedok]

Is that a terrain map? An environmental one? A political one? All three?

This:

Beedok has got in the habit of starting with environmental maps and using them as a base for his political maps. Most of that is unfinished.

It helps me to better work out good borders. I use either the environmental one or the topographic one, but the former is more complete.

here is a possible version of a British empire that never fell
and keeps expanding, the U.S.A. looking south and Brazil absorbs Paraguay,Bolivia and part of Venezuela,

Hi, I was wondering if i could ask, does anyone remember a map that was made, probably a while ago, which showed the aftermath of a zombie outbreak, pre-WW1 and how the various countries of Europe had survived by retreating to their islands etc., I seem to remember an independent Sicily and a union between Great Britain and Iceland?

I am going to give your some advice. Firstly, don't expand a worlda map, instead keep it the same size you got it. Map looks better that way. Secondly, when editing the map, don't use paint tool, only use the pencil tool, which makes the lines smarter. Use fill tool as well, it is easiler and cleaner than using pencil tool lots of times.

Here is a WIP of the Fallout World in 2052. It's for a future shared worlds game. Thank you to Bmunro and his 2076 Fallout Map. Any advice would be great.

A more or less fantasy map based on Attila Total War and inspired by this map.

I think it was a MotF submission. That should narrow it down. Good luck finding to though.

Nice job!

I've played Fallout 3 & New Vegas but I'm not hugely a Fallout fan. So, what's up with India?

With all due respect I think your maps could use improvements.

1) Like a previous user said, don't expand worlda maps. It makes them blurry.

2) Borders only should be one pixel thick at all areas, else they look sloppy.

3) Looks like you drew on those borders/colors only after expanding your map. Do your edits before saving the map.

You can find good OTL worlda maps here.
