Anna Comnena Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Where did this thread go? I think you know.Everyone can see some resemblances to geography they recognize; that happens. Just because someone sees something others don't doesn't mean they are wrong and you don't have the right to insult them.Anyway, I think they look fine, although the "west continent / east continent" thing is a bit overdone, isn't it? Also needs more geographic features, like mountain ranges, watershed basins, climate or vegetation regions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Crusade Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Plan all the geography before actually finalising your map. Plan cities, provinces, terrain, etc. Then once you've got it all planned, spend time making it appealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 @Anna:> Anyway, I think they look fine, although the "west continent / east continent" thing is a bit overdone, isn't it?well, I have a process for making land masses for cartography. I dont really plan ahead. its like the cloud filter decides for me. that way its more random, and less man made-ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oolkingloo Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 @Kreator:> lol it does kinda look like _____I was going to say a boot, I don't know what all this other nonsense is about.Personally I suggest breaking up the land masses a bit, if all else fails, look at our present day globe and work with it.

Kusy Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 @♥♠DDunit:> What are you implying?> > It only looks like … oh.> > No seriously, looks awesome Chief.Come on people… please, tell me what the fuck looks awesome about it? What the hell looks good so far? I'm absolutely not aiming to insult you Chief so don't feel offended by this:WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS AWESOME ABOUT IT?What I hate is fake support! If you have nothing to say - you write "awesome", "looks good", "nice"... FUCKING WRONG! You don't say anything. Come on, seriously, saying this is awesome would mean you get exciter every tim you see a piss stain on a wall or a bruise on someone's face. IT'S A GREEN BLOT ON A WHITE BACKGROUND for god's sake.And I am warning you lenton because I will enforce what Anna stated - your god damn post is worthless and only shows that you have problems with reading anything before the previous post.

Anna Comnena Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Yeah I will back up Kusy here… I pretty much pruned this entire thread last week because it turned into a bunch of off-topic flames. And then it was slowly heading in that direction, and I deleted a few here and there. Then after enough of that I posted my general warning post; which still isn't being heeded.Sorry Chief, but your thread is getting locked. Keep working on the map though, I'd love to see it with geographical features on it.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
