Wow. Done a bit on this over the past week (either that or I just haven't been paying attention to the other continents - which is possible :) ).

You're right Connors, just a glance at that map and it feels a lot more developed than before.

Yeah, told Shane last week that I liked this one. Maybe could add a point to the "Things to Do" page for Shane to go through each of the settings and create a banner? :)

Thanks Connors, glad you like it.

Just think of it as if the orange adn yellow moons are closer than the white one, so by forced perspective they appear larger than they are. :)

Thanks Nicko.

Just note that the two maps are not exactly the same. The one noting the region names generally includes some water around the land masses so while it kind of looks like they have changed the land masses are the same, this one is just showing who controls that area kind of thing.

Also remember that this is a world scale amp only showing up areas of considerable note. There are going to be a lot more forests, scrub etc when a more local map is done for a region but if I did that on that grand a scale then I might as well nearly paint teh whole map in forest adn scrub and be done with it cause area's around towns that have been cleared would be hardly noticeable a the world scale.

Oh and yes I can add some more volcanoes at some stage.

So, what do others think about the banner Shane put together for Kage? I think it is awesome. Catches a few unique points right there. I would have had the yellow and orange moons a lot smaller, as they are, but other than that, I really like it. I like the layout and the 'darkness' factor. :)

hey guys, i also think you have done an awesome job with the map shane. i did notice that some of the islands, peninsulas, land masses between the two maps changed shape slightly. i am also reading a book about farmers in australia 100 years ago and about how when they first received land of the government they were paid to clear the land and make it suitable for crop production. it got me thinking about some of the wilderness areas of the map where large scale farming may not be established, should there be more in the way of forests/scrub, maybe you assume that a lot of it is scrub land and only note the larger forests. if this is the case fair enough, but i would think there should be a lot more in the way of forest/woodlands/ undeveloped land. just a thought.

I notice you have volcanoes on the island (of Glorantha). Perhaps you could add the others too. Might need to check the pencil maps I had.

Djana. Eastern mountains are actually called the Basalt Mts well known for their volcanic activity.
Danatha. The southern mountains are known as Surtr's Furnaces. Again pretty obvious there are volcanoes there.
Gar-Sanya. I am sure the mts surrounding this region had volcanoes. The Takanda Mts mention they have some.
Water Realms. The Land of Fire & Ice got its name from volcanic activity. I reckon a couple of the Dragon Isles could also feature volcanoes for our ruling red dragons ;)

I keep coming back and looking at this. I really like it. Makes me feel like Kage exists now ;)

One thing, especially noticeable when you zoom in is the black lines around lakes looks odd. I would have just left as all blue, no black line around them. If you can remove; if they are not a separate layer ignore. Just a thought. I love zooming in to see the details on places like the islands. Super job.

Okay, I just gotta say, "That looks awesome!". Well, I have already said that above, actually. But, yeah, I REALLY like the colours you have used and it just looks like a cool world and setting you would now want to adventure in. Having the map will make it SO much easier to reference etc. And attract players to the site. And make it easier now for me to set games there.

Great job Shane.

Ok I'll get around to changing the ???? to that name at some stage.

Also added the latest map with the last of the mountains done.

Yeah, I initially had an island like that called Glorantha - that was the name of the isle (it is like a lost world). Not sure about the south bit - that is the mystery ;)

Cool. Thanks Connors.

1. Fixed
2. Changed spelling which I had wrong. Theres a little in out Homelands write up but I'll have a look for the web enhancement in my stuff.
3. Moved, which reduced the size of Shan but increased the size of Shavartra. Probably increases its size a little as well.
4. Fixed spelling.
5. Adjusted size of Shemmat, is still pretty big but small compared to areas around it. Remembering that these are very rough approximations of teh areas as well.
6. Added Steps of the World name.

Not sure if we ever had a name for the island in the Southern Ocean under Tojar which I ahve marked as ?????. I also named the land mass at the the very south of the map as The Lost Lands, if i remember correctly it was going to be a Jurassic Park type area.

Looks good, but I have a few things I noticed:

  1. Chandalaya - ie has an 'a' on the end.
  2. Shavartra - Damn. I cannot for the life of me find anything on this. There is meant to be a 3E OA web enhancement that I can't find. But I am pretty sure it is everything south of the main mountains.
  3. Hu Sen Jungle - is north of mts b/w Shan and Shavartra, bordering Kutan and Del Mts. (ie southern part of Shan as you have it).
  4. Bay of Aelis - I think you have double 'i' instead of an 'l'.
  5. Shemmat - should just be a small area - not stretching north to the next bay. It is a small ancient ruins area.
  6. Steps of the World - b/w Dren and Zamora.

That's it on my look over :)

Added a new Homelands map to the main page. It is very general in what it shows and I tried to make it readable and as accurate as I could given that what I did have and could determine from out older works is quite hard to make out the exact numbers/names of the areas. If other's could give it a look over adn see if I have made any glaring mistakes, like having the location of a given homeland in the wrong spot or mispelt etc, before I condense them all into one layer (every piece of text is currently a different layer and it gets hard to work with, so if I can condense them to one layer that makes it a lot easier to do other stuff).

Yea that took me about 20 minutes to throw together and all i really looked at was the general land shapes.

I think it could be great for smaller scale stuff, especially when they add more stuff to it. It's pretty easy to use adn the more familiar you would get with it the more I'm sure you would be capable of. I wonder if they are going to leave it as a free thing online or change it to a cost package.

Regardless I think there is enough in it now to do small campaign style maps. I'll put a quick on of the Vale of Callus that I did and let you see what a small area can look like.

Yeah, looks really cool - I will have to have a go for small scale maps, but as you said, the Kage world map looks so 'small' using these features. Cool map at a glance though. :) But we will probably need to go with more detailed/small scale for world/kingdom sized maps.

I take it this was a small play for main map. Many of the main forests for eg are in the wrong spots. But I take it you were just stuffing around to give it a go without my pencil maps in front of you.

I do like the 'feel' or texture of this map. :)

I had a look and yes its pretty damn good looking for smallish scale maps, say a country or region, but isn't up to doing Kage as a full size world map as yet, though I might have a play at doing it jsut to see how it goes.

Unfortunately you can't import images or anything into it yet. Remember though it is still in Beta and the guys in charge say they still have a lot that they wish to implement into it, so it may be capable in the future.

Added some new maps up. Takes a while to do these as the files are so huge that it crashes the program if I forget to save it often.
