  • Al Shammar - Cities of Schley fortified oasis

    @Quenten :

    No other publication plans for this, so I'll be glad to include it.

    Think this map could make sense as Dekunu Oasis in Dungroth, Doriant.

    What do you say?


    PS: Did one final correction of the left side shadows - the " shadow buckles" are gone now.

    Yes it does.

    The left side is fixed - that was a lot easier than I thought. :)

    Thanks again.

    Thanks a lot, Sue.

    I've created a "cliff shadow update" sheet, that is almost transparent (1% opacity) but casts a wall shadow.

    This works well on the right side of the map, but fails at the ascending section near the left gate. I partially put a non shadow "mask"-sheet above the shadow, but it seems to create more issues than it solves.

    I'll take a look at your FCW files and draw the left side shadows by hand.

    Thanks a lot, Sue. I'll be away from my PC for a couple of days, but will try tweaking the cliff shadows a bit more when I'm back.

    Haven't really used blur and blend mode until now, so I'm looking forward to learning a bit more.

    Sometimes things go different than planned. Wasn't happy with my first Empire of the Sun map, built a 1001 nights themed RPG character, started thinking about her origins/ background and ended up with this map. 🤗

    Mainly used the Cities of Schley style, with cliffs from the City Cliffs Annual and palm trees from the Spectrum Overland style. Actually did a search for "palm" in the symbols folder to find them...

    Manual shadows could be a bit better, but I think they'll do.

    Might add Vignettes and two map Keys (one for the main settlement and one for the former slave gnome enclave on the left side) if I have the time.
