The Barony of Mendovia (Overland Satellite Map Style from Feb 2012 Annual)

I made this map today of the Barony of Mendovia using the Overland Satellite Map Style from the February 2012 Cartographer's Annual. Mendovia is the home of one of the super villains from my Grimm City ICONS supers campaign - The Black Baron. The map is approximately 100 miles x 100 miles, so I had to adjust the fill style sizes and the sheet effect settings to reflect the smaller area. I also added one of the urban area fill styles from the Cosmographer overland
satellite style to make the three cities. I still need to add some finishing touches, and I'll probably change at least the title font to something more "Gothic".

Mateus090985 - thank you! You are correct - some tiny islands are a must. For the urban areas, all I did was create a new bitmap fill style using the Urban_Light_VH.PNG from Cosmographer (#Bitmaps\Tiles\Cosmographer\Satellite Terrrain\Urban Light_VH.PNG), tiled to fill and scaled with a width and height of 10. Since this map is 100 x 100, I had to rescale everything from the standard 1000 x 800 map the Overland Satellite style is set at, so if you use this urban area in a map at that scale, you'll probably want to adjust the scaled height and width accordingly.
