Allal, and my near-future plans

[HandsomeRob]

Thanks for the responses! I guess I will have to do that walkthrough/tutorial then. I will try to finish up the map of Gurhana that I have in production now (probably a week or so?) and after that is done I will do the next map step-by-step with you guys.

About this map:
I have not included any sort of water depth shading on any of my maps so far. I agree that it would definitely enhance this particular map. I might consider adding some sort of depth shading if I ever get around to doing a second edition of my atlas. I wonder if I could come up with a method... I'm not particularly fond of the ocean depths given by Fractal Terrains so that is right out.

Thanks all,
-Rob

Are you going to mark whre the detail maps are on the world map eventually? I didn't manage to place them all correctly.

I don't yet have a map showing all of the regional coverages, but the KML file in the original post should be a good start (if you have Google Earth), as it links all of the regional maps in, and you can find any of them in the included directory.

HR- Question for you.

Was Oahu the basis for the island in this map? I thought that when I first read this thread, and with GP mentioning Hawai'i, I jumps out at me even stronger.

The Hawai'ian island chain was a strong influence for this region. Round-ish islands with volcanoes in the center, jungles on the windward sides and deserts on the leeward sides. These islands are a bit bigger than the Hawai'ian islands, but I think that pattern should carry over okay. Place names here are loosely based upon ancient Egyptian, however, which I think makes a nice contrast.

But they are all marked with lat/long indications on the grid. That would be enough to nail them down surely ?
