    What Steel said.

    Ok. I'm working away. The northern barbs has got their flag style. I'm going to change the moose tip of the flagpole to denote a subtle shift in influence, from Moenian influence to Dwarven influence and onwards towards the south.
    I'm having a lot of fun drawing the flags, creating different looks depending on the culture of the province/land/region.
    Still haven't decided on any labels thou, any suggestions?

    I think I'd put some kind of key somewhere (maybe at the bottom) that shows the country associated with each flag. If you put the labels by the flags themselves I think it would get to cluttered.

    Nice map.

    Looks like Hudson Bay really filled up there, and Labrador Collided with the Mainland

    SG: It would be a pretty big key with 50 or so flags, but I think it's the best way...

    NK:I noticed the resemblance to north america too, but I promise you, it's pure coincidence!
    The scale is about the same thou...

    Still lookin good, your Roman Legion-style banners blow away mine that's for sure. Your banners and GPs map have resulted in me just lacking desire to finish mine, I haven't touched it in almost a week.

    SG: I think I'm gettin there, most of the bulk work is done, now it's mostly a dozen tribal banners and two arabian style banners left.

    Acension: I'll redo the banners now that I've found a better way to do them.

    I've had some great fun today making greek shields. Funny, the hardest thing to find was a good reference picture of a greek bireme or trireme so I made som other generic stuff...
    I did find some nice patterns on some site selling plates and saucers, the one with the sphinx has a plate border pattern along the edge
