I like the way the mountains are done...The pastels aren't really my thing though. Overall though the map seems pretty solid.

Lots of time has passed, but I was finally able to create an updated version of the Urbis map (click to enlage):
This is a lot more "bare bones" than the previous version - but it was made entirely with Inkscape, which allows me to update it a lot more frequently. You can download the SVG file from which this bitmap was generated here.
Note that almost all locations on this map have a corresponding entry in the Urbis Wiki.
There's that Inkscape guy again! Hey, Jurgen, long time no see! I see you poppin' up in the CBG, and ENworld every once in a while. Its probably been almost a year since I visited Eruvian.com - does that even still exist?
Unless your map file is too big. You should use "manage attachments" in the Edit Post, so you can post a thumbnail instead of just a link.
How is Urbis going? Did you ever use that cathedral in your world?
Explore the site and find some of my maps, won't you?

It still exists... but there's no activity over any more. This is why I've recently switched over to a wiki, so that others can contribute to the setting (when following certain guidelines).
I used a smaller image generated by the wiki to generate a "thumbnail". I didn't actually upload any images to this thread because the final map is very large...Unless your map file is too big. You should use "manage attachments" in the Edit Post, so you can post a thumbnail instead of just a link.
It's not progressing as fast as I'd like (and it doesn't help that I'm in the middle of writing my thesis...), but things are looking up at the moment.How is Urbis going?
I vaguely remember a cathedral, but I think I got distracted and forgot about it at the time. Could you perhaps refresh my memory?Did you ever use that cathedral in your world?
Actually, I could offer to add links to the Urbis Wiki to good maps detailing specific locations. The new wiki setup allows me to add all sorts of vaguely related "Designer's Notes" and resources at the end of each entry. I think I will create a new thread for such requests...
Will do.Explore the site and find some of my maps, won't you?
Actually, I registered quite some time ago - note the date of my first post in this thread. It's just that I got distracted by Real Life in the meantime...Welcome to the Guild! By tradition I give REP to noobs with maps - so have some REP!

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.
