Actually Bohunk, if you would prefer a regional area to map we still have two areas unclaimed out of 30 in the first section that we are mapping. Take a look at this post http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...&postcount=213, and you will see a map with the two remaining. You are welcome to take one or both of those areas if you want to rather than doing a more local map.

Give me #26 for now and if #4 is still available when I'm done I'll take it. Is there a FT file that goes with this?
Sure thing #26 is yours. Welcome to the project, its great to have you here. There is a FT file. Its to be found in the thread "Thinking big....". There is a height field too.

And I think I will take #4. Just enough mountainous terrain to really give my new mountain technique a try I think from the regional scale.Originally Posted by Torq
BTW, is there a more detailed/higher resolution height map around/available?

What about regional maps that don't line up with the initial squares? I'm thinking some local regional maps, etc.

Hey Rob. If you're talking about smaller more zoomed in areas within the larger regions, yes definately. There is no set scale for the next level down so you could do a mountain range, swamp or forest or any local area. Do you have one in mind?

I was thinking of mapping this area:
Ss a navigation/sea/lake chart with proposals to construct a series of locks and channels (or actual?) , bypassing the swamps of the south to extend ocean trade from the sea to the eastern part of the region 3 kingdom, which has not bed drawn. I wanted to drop a city on the NE corner of that lake as a the access point into the mountain areas....
Got to read the CWBP wiki writeups on these areas first, though...

Of course JFJ, #4 is yours. A hearty welcome to the CWBP. Thanks for stepping in. That completes the entire first region.
Remember to post our work on the area as you go in a new thread.
