I have decided to map all the islands in the irisian City map style while I am waiting to get my new computer back from the repairers under warranty. Since I have to send it to the manufacturers - overseas - it will only take 6 weeks - outrageous!!

Anyway, here is the first - the biggest of the remaining islands, Tiresia City State, which has hegemony over the whole island. It is mainly agricultural and fishing, and is the least wealthy of the City States. It is also the closest to the hostile Kingdom of Helmonte.

I am using the same style as I did for Helmonte - Herwin Wielink, not my favourite style by a long shot.

This is the beginning of the map - interesting features to be added later.

This took less than 10 minutes to go from starting to insert the DXF to this. I have solved the problem of the road and river - it lies in the original setup of the map to export as SVG - make sure river and roads are NOT outlined. Even if they seem to disappear, they will be present on your svg, therefore DXF.

Once I am completely satisfied with the whole process, i will upload the whole process along with a new Template and DrawTools for both metric and (ugh) imperial. And the fills I use for the fields.

I will be renaming the CITY BLOCK sheet to SYMBOLS BUILDINGS.

Thanks for this - it is likely to help me design better dungeons.

Here is my first foray - an evil necromancing wizard trying to create the ultimate undead monster- has created Vampelstein, a mutant vampiric-type critter

.

Here is the Lost fort region - I am a bit happier this time - critique welcomed.

A map using Climate Textures and satellite World styles (60 and 62) based on a map of the breakup of Gondwanaland. I have replaced proto-India with Harn.

Putting in reptilian civilizations for fun. Not complete of course.

But Happy New year, everyone.

This is a slightly updated version, ready to go into the Atlas.

I have decided to revisit this style myself - it is a favourite of mine, especially with the use of icons. I was delighted that Ralf showed how to make new icons, so I have been making some for myself.

I have decided that even the major settlements will be represented by icons rather than usual symbols - just for fun.

Here is the beginning.

I am happy to share the icons if anyone wants them - all from free images on the internet.

Here are the 4 I have done so far:

Well, thanks to everyone. Here is the start.

Update. The style is getting more to what I want. I have altered the mountain contours, and added ethnic groups, plus national borders, some forests and a marsh, and some more names.

Sorry for the small text, but it is meant to be viewed at a larger canvas. When I have finished the text, I will put a 8Mb version in the gallery.

Update on Mercator style map.

Forests, deserts, swamps, some volcanoes, cities and a few names to go.

The grey mountains represent the highest altitude mountains.
