    very nice mountains you ended up with.. I'm not sure if it would be to much, but a down bevel of "0" on the rivers might give the impression of being lowered into the land. Love the legend, but as several have said, move i over a bit and cut of some of all that ocean for a more balanced map

    Right sooo.... I went slightly nuts. Instead of trimming down the ocean and forgetting about the other continents, I did another expansion. The map size roughly (give or take a margin of error) covers the same area as a map of the Earth. Total surface area is 510,126,516 square kilometers.

    The new northern continent has had mountains planted and detail added, but the other two haven't. Personally I'm on the fence about the two unfinished continents. They seem to lack character in their shape. There map also seems too narrow, so I might have to do some moving and scaling later on.

    This'll be the last expansion in terms of map size. Since any further expansion will cause the map scale to go off.

    The Sundered Land has gotten detail and mountains, so has the southern continent. At the moment, the southern continent really doesn't have any lore or detail to it, but I'm thinking of making the former capital of the gods there, along with some nice little treats that they've left behind. I've tossed in some new villages and cities here and there, but sadly not where they're needed. A lot of new regions still need to be named and some area's still need more detail painted. I've started adding a few nation borders (not seen in this map however) and I found a technique I like.

    Also pardon the large amount of double-posting in this thread.

    Thinks to do(currently):
    • Finish adding rivers.
    • Add large lakes.
    • Add more new cities.
    • Draw trade routes.
    • Finish nation borders.
    • Add map border.
    • Make a new compass.
    • Enlarge scale bar.
