Community Atlas - Alarius - Seal Island

[Deleted User]

I am gradually working my way through all the maps I have reserved. Here is Seal Island, using the Spectrum Overland style. Perhaps a winter village will be forthcoming?

A few changes. Hopefully the text is more legible

Generally a nice map, but I am not really sold on depicting the frozen ocean like that. It doesn't really look like an island in a frozen sea, but rather a huge landmass with a weird-looking mountain formation on it.

What makes it even more weird is the existing neighboring map which uses that fill for the frozen edges covering the actual landmass, i.e. not frozen sea.

Assuming an earth-like climate, which is the basis for Niberium, the island is also much to far south to have permanently frozen sea around the island, it's going to be clear most of the year, which then makes it a bit weird IMHO to depict the oceans in a frozen state, as a map is supposed to be usable year-round, but now it only shows a very limited snapshot in time, because even at times where it is frozen over, the edge of the ice will never bee in the same spot week to week.

I'll think about it. No promises

You can try upping the transparency on it a good deal, that might make the actual coastline of the island much clearer and better indicate that this is non-permanent ice...

Is this any better. I do want some ice pack.

Monsen

Much better. When it doesn't encompass the entire island, it is much clearer what it is supposed to represent.

You might move the "Quaniit (Falling Snow) Mtn" label above the peak itself, and maybe making it Multiline (so it doesn't hide the village by the shore). It's not very clear where it is currently.

OK

Thanks for the contribution. Map now in the atlas.
