The South Will Rise Again! (WIP)
I have been working on various maps for VPG over the last several months, but he project that is the strangest is for a map for this game. "The South Will Rise Again!" Its a hex based, man-to-man combat game, set in the US Civil War....with Zombies!
It took me quite a while before I was happy with the quality of the textures and patterns, especially for the wheat field. But I think the overall effect works.
The game is still in development, so the map may well change. But you get the idea.

I serious hope that contrary to the text, no players will be killed or wounded in the course of this game.
Overall I like the layout, but feel the lower right corner is a bit awkward. You could get yourself a little extra space to work with if you move the "RANGE" box label to the lower right of the box, allowing the box to be made somewhat less tall.
ZEB ATTACK: 3-5 result reads "gappled" where I believe "grappled" is intended.
THE 'TURNING' TRACK: "is equal to are greater than" should be "is equal to or greater than".
Thanks for pointing those errors out. I'll get them on the next version.
The designer added in some more stuff on the tables, and requested a map key be added. So I had to drop the zombie portrait.
Gaa! This map is driving me nutz...or rather the game designer is. Now he wants a map with hexes as large as possible. So I made up this version. The tables and charts are now on a separate sheet.
It looks complex, though the map is yay nice.
Well, this game Still hasnt been published. In fact I thought the project was dead until I heard from the developer and designer the other day. They wanted the map to have a more blasted look, so I took the opportunity to overhaul the map and change the patterns, which I now feel were rather heavy on the older version. I also used a new open style of hex grid and tried to tone down the hex numbers which were "popping" a bit too much, IMO. So now its looking like this. Still have to change the Terrain Chart. I'm still not super happy with it, but the designer likes the new look.
