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

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

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?

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 |

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?

Fair enough Rill. I am just surprised to hear of yet another project while some other ones that were announced to be completed in 2013 are still MIA.

Hey how about you print the map with a players cities on them (ie like my ten cities only), along with faction hubs, regions, Audrey, the rift etc.
And then why not an alliance map as well In colour and black and white! And what dimensions were you thinking of printing? A3? |

I was hoping for something a lot bigger. Like a good-sized poster.

If it is a poster that goes in our cafepress store, it'll be the same for everyone. So no customizations for a single player (like marking cities, etc.)
There could be multiple versions of it though (one with colored regions, one in all browns to look more old fashioned, etc). There's no need to conspiracy theorize about how this is affecting development of the game because it isn't. GM Cerb is our art director so this is exactly the sort of thing he's great at doing for our players. Someone brought the idea up in GC the other day, so here we are. :) Luna |

Yes, "Here be Dragons" sounds good. I guess at around 980|769 in Qarosslan? Or would that be Eaglesbrood? And Sirens, and Harpys and Giants, and Eaglesbrood and Sylvans and ... (All with nice pictures, of course.) And maybe include info about the racial default standings of the faction hubs - assuming that those will soon be an imporant game aspect.
No conspiracy???! ![]() (goes back to ) |
