Maps That show us a new perspective
This 49 or 50 page presentation shows some interesting maps about the world. Much of it is US centric, but interesting comparisons and relationships are shown. Especially number 46.
And the extent of the Mongolian Empire is stunning. Alexander the Great was a nobody in comparison.

WIP Commission, Ancient Tombs
While Autosave is nice, I don't entirely trust it. I give all my file names a date and sometimes a datetime group, such as
CF_Battlemap_20201125.fcw or CF_Battlemap_202011250600.fcw. Sometimes, if I do something really big, I also add something like _1 or _a to the end.
JimP and LoopySue and many others, do similar things.

The "Real" Wargame Youtube video
The video at the link has some nice maps and scale models relating to siege warfare. The models, for the most part appear to be period, but some have many figures on them which may result from later updates of the map. The documentary is largely in french, but there are lots of pretty pictures to look at and one can marvel at the craftsmanship of the artificers who created these models to assist in planning and executing the siege.
I think this is the museum website: http://www.museedesplansreliefs.culture.fr/

Grimdark Fantasy (renamed "Darklands") - development thread
I kind of like it. The paper texture makes it look like there are small rolling hills instead of just a flat plain. (Very few areas are truly flat anyway.) Now it sort of looks to me like the observer is above and looking through a curtain of smoke, which might be blowing in from off map due to massive fires set by the population as they flee to deny the incoming hordes any pasture, food, or forage. Oh, and they poisoned the wells and tried to contaminate the rivers with dead cattle.
It was a dark and grimmy sunset.
As you can sort of see here. https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/cpXUKWoLNm2NWCgMoToHLi-970-80.jpg.webp
