New map by Jason Lutes

[Cainehill]

Oh! One question for Jason - do the Stonehenge icons on the map have any significance, or are they purely flavor?

Thanks!

Jason,
Thanks again.

It is so easy to nick-pick and so very much more difficult to create.

Your map is extremely cool. No criticim intended.

Every province with a magic site starburst icon has some little graphic to set it apart in addition to the icon. For instance, in Ghost Hollow to the southwest it's a cave, and in Owleye's Retreat in the north it's a tower. That's all the henges are, just extra indicators of a special magic site province. I started out with just those graphic elements, but added the starbursts for sake of clarity.

Thanks for the comments, Cainehill -- Glad to hear the map is going over well!

Yes ... it is really a great map! I like very much the idea of the port .. it could be a perfect map for a boardgame ... have you never try to work in bordgames graphics ?

And about new maps idea ... there are two settings I really like and would like to see in a so nice Version (i have found some maps on the net of these setting but are really poor):

The world of Warhammer Fantasy
The worl of a Game of Thornes

good play and thks again!

Very very nice job.

Tiny question, if you may:
The rivers themselves are not navigatable, correct? That is, I cannot travel between bodies of water connected by a river if I am a water nation / water traveller?
I ask because this is the way that water neighbors work on the "Karan" map, which I have come to love, and which seems to make sense to me.
(Just wondering if I understand correctly.)
Thank you very much!

PS. Please let me know if this was intentional, but I think there are a few tiny neighboring errors:

- 151 and 128 are neighbors
- 101 and 117 are neighbors

hope that is maybe helpful?

EDIT: I'm a computer moron, never tried this before, but I opened up the "map" file with word pad (hope that is right?!). Anyhow, I took out those two "neighbors" commands by just deleting the text, and I tested it and I dont think I broke anything. I suppose that was easy enough to do that I shouldn't bother sending the file to someone??
Thanks once again for your excellent job, will try it out now with a water nation!

The worl of a Game of Thornes

Wow. A map of Martin's Westeros would touch me in my happy spot. That would be unbelievably cool.
