Elgea Physical World Map

I don't see why it needs to be either.  I really doubt people who are involved in creating printable maps are the same people who are trying to figure out how to code the faction quest cycle so the Heffalumps don't take over and start slaughtering the playerbase.
This is something that players want that they can deliver without detracting from their work on Broken Lands.  So why not do it?

	GM Cerberus, I am surprised by your last announcement. I would have thought that every effort from the Dev Team is now being allocated to the prompt release of TBL. Only 2 options here: 1) TBL is finished and you are about to release it. In that case, your Elgea map project is part of a series of follow-through projects... GREAT! 2) TBL is not finished and your last message could be construed as a probe announcement to the Illy players community to check on the potential to "raise funds" . Which is it? Best, Tatharion

	Regions and hubs for sure, though I'm not sure I want to see the colors, even muted. Elevations and biomes would be splendid. I like the idea of names for features but then I couldn't call those things whatever I want to call them. The Rift and etc. are also good ideas. As for the grid, I'd like to see it on there. Perhaps in 1=100 scale?

	A giant star for my capital. Also, faction hubs and regions please.

	I think if the coloration is done make it extremely muted so every thing else could be seen. Just like colors are used in normal maps and atlases

	I agree, no coloration due to regions like Norweld and Ragallon, just outlines and labels. I would like to see biomes indicated. I like the idea of a grid, although spacing could be relatively large. Faction hubs should be indicated on the map; an icon indicating the faction would be nice, since there are so many hubs. And perhaps you could name the major forests, rivers, lakes, seas, deserts and mountain ranges?

	Roads will be nice also a change on how cities look will be nice as same with hubs.. 3D Map will be exellent, Just a bit of more improvement of the world map is cool. Perhaps can include fortresses and that sort. and bounderies perhaps more 7 food or more food.... The herald needs to be updated a bit more some changes is good.. and lastely know its not of world map lol but new avatar options will be greately apreciated perhaps crows and more stuff

	You know what would be AWESOME? If there were a broken lands map included in the pack, maybe as a limited-edition promotion. It wouldn't have to be a fully accurate map, maybe along the lines of maps of early European explorers of the Americas. So we wouldn't expect it to look just like that, but sort of something like it. Would be an awesome keepsake.

	Faction areas would be great, and Rill's idea about gridlines would be handy...I can see all the little pinned flags now...
