Thread: The Diamond Trade Route (2019 February Challenge Map)

  1. #1

    Default The Diamond Trade Route (2019 February Challenge Map)

    As in the title, my entry for the February challenge map.

    I got my commission from Diamond to make a map with major trade route. Here are the details:

    A map of a major trade route - this could be something like the Silk Road, or a sea route, or even an Underdark or subterranean trade route.

    Requirements:
    • The route, whatever is, must be at least 500 miles in total length, and there must be some scale or way to determine distance on the map. This could be just a regular scale indicator, or something like a note on each leg of the route showing distance between points.
    • The route must include at least five cities, or ports, or caravanserai, etc.
    • Common trade goods on the route must be indicated in some way.
    • Some hazards faced along the way should be indicated. I leave the number up to you, but at least 3.
    I had some hiccups on the way, but evetually i managed to finish it in time. For those interesed here is WIP thread.

    I already fawned over this map over on DA, but I'll gladly repeat here I think this is a beauty! You did a great job, Rafal, and man, do I love the legend!

    A great looking map and I really like the way you did the route explanation at the bottom.

    It’s magnificent Voolf... It’s really clean and clearly readable, I think it serves it’s purpose well and I think it’s got a good chance at winning the challenge.
