all i hafta say is good luk lol

[Lone.prophet]

maybe u can use this

[Guiscard]

I think china is sort of covered with the maps currently available / in development. Specifically the asia map but also the yellow sea(?) map which is in development.

edit: OR give it a historical focus, maybe the three kingdoms period.

[Wisse]

thnx lone.p the only thing is wich ones are the good names, is it now tibet or xizang? (etc.)
the only thing i have to search for now are the continents (bonuses)


edit: found a map for the continents:
and i think as i have seen much more maps with the names of your map lone.p i will use those

[reverend_kyle]

this has been started a couple of times




theres one I drafted up a while back you can use, everything needs fixed on it but still.

[Lone.prophet]

i like the 1 wisse has

now try 2 implant something special

[Wisse]

srry kyle but i want to make something diferent than other maps, so you will see when i have filled in all the spaces of my map

[Wisse]

srry for waiting you so long, but i was ill so here is what i've done today:

click on it to enlarge it, it was to big to put here, because i didn't want to resize it yet

next update will be:
the next continents colored and the 2 ilands colored

[Lone.prophet]

its looking good so far

[Wisse]

yeah, the only thing i don't know are the names for the continents :S but i can always change continents if someone know good names for it

[Wisse]

i ahve found a region map: http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/middle_e ... lreg96.jpg

i will use that for the bonusis


and can someone tell me how big the large map must be? then i can do the borders better

[Wisse]

new update:

(click on the image to enlarg it)
can someone please say how big the large one must be?
than i can change the borders

next update will be:
sea & other countrys than china colored

[Marvaddin]

I personally dont like continents with 2 countries, but they are becoming very popular...

Beyond that, most areas have too many borders.
And, you have some tiny and some huge territories, you could make better use of space.

yeah i know about the borders, i haven't had time to make impossible borders, and the huge territories is for a reason i think, because there are much mountains in the west.

here comes anather update:

[Wisse]

i have updated the map, but i don't know what you like more, withour or with lines, post wich one you like more:

A:


B:

[boberz]

without lines

[Guiscard]

Without, and I like the visual style. The sea texture is wonderful. I don;t know whther these are your actual territory boundaries but the two little ones in the darker blue continent and the little one in red probably need to be merged, else on the small version they'll barely be visable. Also one of the yellows needs to be changed in my opinion as they are very similar. Maybe a darker green?

[Wisse]

thats what i thought too, but here is anather something:
i have made sea routes, they are not ready yet (i don't know how to make them good) but here are where they will come:

does someone know how to make them good? and i coudn't found a picture of a bridge because when i typ that in google i get 5mil things...
lone.phropet can i use the brown bridges u tryed for your map but didn't used? (if i can can you post the image here)

i will merge them and eum the litte one in the red is big enough i think,
and i think i will change the color of the yellow in the right above

But what should i do with the little one in light blue, because thats a very important "state"

[Guiscard]

I wouldn't bother with sea routes yet. Get the territory boundaries right first and some names up there so we can talk about it properly.

[Wisse]

ok i've merged some country's:


But what should i do with shanghai?, because thats a very important "state"

[Lone.prophet]

my bridges where just a line with a gradient over it. though u can use em ill post 1 soon

[Lone.prophet]

ok heres a bridge for u
