Urbis Campaign Map

[Gamerprinter]

Jurgen, if you have time perhaps you should enter the Monthly Mapping Challenge - this month's challenge is to create a socio-political map with the idea being show family crests, guild sigils and other identifier symbols to show the various spheres of influence in a given map area.

So pick one region or the who world of Urbis and show us your socio-political divisions. Here's the link to the Challenge thread...

Be sure to read the Main Challenge Rules as well, then explore the entries so far.

Mine's the Gempei War.

I know you're a busy guy, but maybe you could squeeze one in.

PS: I know you're not a brand new noob, but with so few posts, I still consider you a noob!

PPS: oh the cathedral was my October Challenge 2007 map, here at the guild.

Interesting, but my skill at creating such symbols is sadly rather limited...

Here is a smaller map that only shows the political boundaries (again, click to enlarge):



I did the color effects with GIMP. Maybe I will try to recreate the effect with Inkscape, though that will likely involve more effort...

I've been trying to draw mountains in a new way - here's a sample of how it looks like.

Yes, this is a lot more effort than the old way - but I hope it's worth it.

I've finally started to work on the main map again. I've added colors for the various political and geographical regions portrayed on the map.

Everything was done with Inkscape.
