Thread: [taken][unpaid]Very Basic City Map Needed

You might have a look through the Finished Maps & Mapping Challenge Archive forums to see if you find something you like.

If so you can contact the artist (you need at least 5 posts to send a PM) and see if you can use it or they may be willing to modify it to fit your needs.

thank you -- i will look through those now

i appreciate the suggestion

I kind of like the idea of a 'link page of devotion'. !!

Why don't you scan your drawing and post it here, it might encourage some takers.

ok, here goes

I am not an artist -- please be kind when you look at this map ;-)


and yes -- I will so create an entire page of devotion -- complete wtih links, maps, hell we can set up and i love the artist fan group LOL

I don't know what all the symbols mean but here is a start in very broad terms - just the blocks and the main streets...If you'd like to run with this, how would you like to see it develop?

that is exacctly where i was headed
as far as the image and the blocks
the well is teh center - to the left is a bathhouse
to the right is medical, grand hall, administration

SC - is slaver's compound
with merchant alley opposite it (streets running through it, tents, stalls adn caravan tables)

city square is the bottom center (i was trying to make a square within a circle layout)

inns and cafes along with houses scattered through out the layout
with a large wall around the city

i cant thank you enough for your help

Ah thanks. Next iteration here, keep shouting if you want me to add in or change stuff.

if you could add some random houses
say 4 or 5 inns and 4 or 5 cafes

WOW!! It really is perfect --

is the program you are using expensive?
i would love to be able to make maps like that
then i could make one for each of the actual items on teh list

thanks so much
please give me info to put on my devotion page ;-)

any time you want to roleplay in a less than vanilla environment, please know you are always welcome

City of Tor

Glsd you like it.

It wouldn't really make sense to add random houses (unless you mean separate houses not part of the city blocks) since most of the city blocks will be houses - or appartments (in a normal world), I can scatter some inns and cafes around the map. You might want to consider dividing the city into various quarters, you've effectively got the merchant's quarter, you could have other quarters too, which will be easy to colour code.

Do you want me to put a title in? I.e. the name of your city?

I use a programme called Serif Drawplus, it's reasonably cheap and very intuitive to use, but there is also a free equivalent called inkscape. I recommend you download that and have a play with it.

When the map is done I will send you info for the devotion page
