Thread: Noname Map- WIP

I really like the looks of that. Good shape to it (and why do I always feel like I'm talking about women when I say that? ).

When you say the middle, yellow band is desert, you don't mean the area west of those mountains right? Because that would be a little odd with all those rivers flowing through it.

Well, I also meant that area, but it's more along the lines of if the Nile were multiple rivers and had a lot of flood plains. You think I should change the designation?

I think if you've got that many Nile-like rivers in one area, it's gonna tend to change the climate/terrain somewhat. Of course, it depends on what scale this is all in. If each one of those rivers is hundreds of miles apart, it may not make much difference; the land in between could still be desert.

I checked the distance between the rivers: they are very far apart, they just look closer.

I touched up on a few more details and blended in the southern mountain range, but kept the northern one pinkish because I am using that to designate that area as alpine in nature.

Compass, western sea monster, and city icons by StarRaven, thanks a bunch.

It is coming along very nicely

I have cropped the image to the western coast as I am mainly dealing with the cities on that side. I was trying to change the area west of the southern mountain range into something not desert, like a semi-arid grassland, but that would require me to redo the entire layer and.. well.. I am not too thrilled about that so I am just leaving it as a desert with rivers+flood plains.

Red letter Zurik is the capital of the empire, font used is Ame found on dafont.com, do you guys think it fits? I am going for a vaguely Indian/Sumer feel.

I also need to remember to increase the resolution some time.
