Hello out there!

Disregard my reply from the other thread.

P.S.: Were these pieces created in photoshop?

Ha! Too late, Tim - I already replied on the other thread.

And yes, everything is in Photoshop. Oh, the layers!

Very nice maps indeed, Thom. It's interesting to have people already making maps coming to the guild and posting their work. Quite often they have an original take on things that eventually subsumes into the collective. I'm probably wrong, but I don't think I've ever seen a map here which is so district rich. Makes perfect sense for a board game of course!

Thanks, ravells.

Cruenti Dei is actually a PBeM game. The regions are units of both control and resource production, so there's a lot of data that has to go into each of them. The challenge is always to do that and not make the map look too cluttered.

I don't always succeed. The balance between information and aesthetics is always a fine, fine line.

cheers,
