Taking a short break from the Earth 2174 map work, I was going to draw a map for the battle challenge, but instead I felt compelled to work on this one. I do have an issue with Inkscape choking on this map, though. When I found "The Edge", a shared world being worked on at The Piazza, I decided to steal their methods create Collapsing World v2.
Not much to say about this, yet. This is the surface world only. As you can see I decided to scale down the collapsed areas found on my original map, and instead add more breaches. This should make for much more interesting terrain in the long run.
I created the template in Inkscape, but decided to draw the actual maps in Paint.NET. Later maps will be a combination of Paint.Net and Inkscape.

Alright, we're getting somewhere. Current WIP:
I've added a bunch of general notes with Inkscape, most should be fairly self-explanatory.
The "Last Civilization" area is a remnant of the once flourishing civilization of the surface world; the guys in this area resisted falling into anarchy long enough to build a series of dams; rainfall in the old continent to their east flows down in rivers and is kept here in a gigantic reservoir, allowing them to irrigate a large area.

This is a cool layout. I have been planning to do a map using this sort of layout but I haven't gotten around to it myself. Glad to see it, keep up the great work you are doing.

This is looking really good bartmoss! I really like the simplicity of the design and the colours.
Thank you. What I learned from this map is that the fact that I can't add too much detail (there is a fixed resolution) makes progress much faster. I'll probably use raster images more in the future.

Uploaded final version with slightly more detail, this map is done. See Final Maps thread.
