[Region 1][Map 30] - Wilderness and Ruin

[NeonKnight]

Here is the Greyscale PNG File converted to a MDR file.

Basically by playing with settings in programs I didn't write, I have a clearer mock up of section 30. Here is it, still with the Wilbur shade colours, modified a bit. A version without contour lines and one with 10m contours.



What it tells me is that the land is still too bumpy in the 'plains' and not bumpy enough in the hills. Oh well, this has to mesh with the rest of the tiles and I'm not actually putting a building on it
My rivers are too deep and short, I have no vegitation yet, and I haven't really asserted _my_ control on the square. I'm still 'discovering' the land not training it.



You can see that I cut in the river bed and opened a pass through the mountains. I did this in Wilbur.


Q: Is this too big a picture to include in the message?

Q: Can someone more observant than me tell me how big these squares are in miles or km?

Sorry for being a bit thick, but what is an MDR file?
Great start, Sigurd! I really like the idea of a desolate mountainy place with lots of monsters. Good quest country!
The squares are about 600 miles across, a little more for the southern lands a little less for the northern lands.

Here is the area utilising Joe Slayton's tutorial located here:

Thanks for the link Neonknight. I used some of it.

I like the square but it seems a little to tropical and lush. I need to look at wastelands of various sorts.

Of course it could be a very dense and dangerous forest.

I'm too close to it now. What do people think? Any comment appreciated.

I know some of you are low saturation fans out there.

Here's the DM map, low saturation. with Hex overlay



And the same image full size without the hex.

Its a meg and a half.

Now I have to go.

I'm a big low-saturation fan and I really like the map. Dont like the hex grid though, but thats just me . The basin looks like its got very steep sides, is that deliberate? Well done Sigurd, nice work.
