MAPS: Edi's Map Projects

Edi · #1 July 11th, 2007, 04:14 PM

The first release of the as yet incomplete Faerun map!

Known as Faerun 466, this map has 397 land provinces and 69 seas (16 deep seas). As of yet, the map file contains no special provinces, but all future special provinces are marked as nostart. The map is fully playable, like any other map, it just lacks the spices.

All eligible starting locations but for a very few exceptions have a minimum of five neighboring provinces, 3 sea neighbors in the case of seas.

Borders are marked in red on the map, thick border means the border is impassable and the provinces are not neighbors.

If you find any mistakes in terrain assignment or neighbors, please inform me in the commentary thread or via PM.

You can download the map at http://koti.welho.com/ehalttun/Dom3/

Meh, youre rar-ing again! I'll have to skip on faerun then

Damn! Sorry about that! I'll change it to a zip file. I meant to put it in zip, but apparently I didn't pay enough attention.

Faerun is pretty much my favorite D3 map.

Awesome! I've been looking forward to this. I'll try the special map too when it comes out, but mostly I just like big maps.

Ballbarian has made a slight alteration to the map image file that changes border color to a golden hue. For those who might prefer this version, it can be found at http://www.dom3minions.com/~semirand...Faerun_466.zip
The change is only cosmetic, so it will not impact any games on this map and the map files will work with it.

What's wrong with RAR?

It's not like it is a new format that just popped up within the last five years. For Linux there are unpackers for command line (like, uh, rar) and your GUI of choice (like Ark for KDE), too.

Like I have the energy to bother with getting a rar program

I can unzip, everyone else has to adopt!

I tend to growl at RARs also. And BZ2, CAB, ACE, 7Z, even TAR. We might as well face it. If you arent ZIPing then prepare for the growls.

Great job Edi!
Have to say I love the Faerun Map, but the bright red was a bit jarring. The Gold province border is a little harder to make out, but much more easy on the eyes.

Also, I love the compression I get on rars. Not quite like uharc, but then not much is. Strange, I thought rar is as ubiquitous as zip nowadays.
