Zibor [WIP]

The continent of Zibor, part of my game world.
As you can see this is still under development.
Suggestions are very welcome.
This is going to be a work map. From here I am going to do other, more local maps with more detail.

Scanned it and drew the major langmass in following the edges.
Most of the islands are "new" .
The is 5500 by 4000, this is just a rough sketch.
Later I will do 500x500 and later form them together to one map.
Problably in the Herwin Wielink style.
Waiting for the november annual to see what new symbols it has.
the borders mark the areas where one race is dominant.
Orange for the humans. Blue for the elves, Yellow for the dwarves and green for the orcs and goblins.
Think I will stop here, at least for now.
Will await the november annual and then start on regional maps.
[edit] The new "save as" setting I am using are making the PNG's quite a bit larger, sorry for that [/edit]
I've not played with this style before but you're certainly making it look appealing. Wonderful map!
You learn something new every day :-)
But I can live with it since this is a work map.
P.S. What is the scale of your map in miles (or km)?
The landmass is more or less the size of europe though in square miles I think its a bit less.
Well, local, its still 500 miles squared.
Not relally satisfied yet with the result. Overland maps have always been hard for me.
So any tips are appriciated.
I think that map is pretty good. Maybe on the north coast (glaciers?) you could add some fractalization/fjords?
I am wondering whether it might be better to include the whole group of islands in a regional map, so you can treat them as a connected archipelago, which they probably are, with more small islands between them, etc.

But I added a 500 mile grid to the original map and am going to map each square seperate.
And yes, that means that sometimes islands get seperated onto different maps.
Bottom line, just be very sure that you really want to map regions like this before you start.
The beauty of CC3 is, that you don't need to have all the sub maps in the same size. As long as you keep the symbol scale consistent and use a common origin point, you can still piece them together as needed.
Have been thinking about it myself and too much of the lines run right through significant parts of Zibor.
So I guess I am going to abandon the idea of the square maps.
Thanks for the advice.

Of course, the atlas being Campaign Cartographer maps, it is very easy to do some edits to get past many of the shortcommings.
