Another update of the map. Been working alot on it lately. No buildings on it yet what so ever (though I've built some already :>).

Hope you like it :>. Oh, and ofcourse it's not finished yet. Not at all. :P

Haha. Thanks for the replies guys, but seriously. When I look at it I see more flaws then anything else. Too much mountains, too much open land. Blah. But Im not changing it anymore. Just a few.. nudges here and there. (Which basically means you can expect something totally new next time I post a picture of the map x.x)

Congratulations! It?s a nice map!
It?s the kind of map that?s very interesting to look at and keeps your eye roving all over it.

May I make one suggestion?
You have mountains across the top of your map. I had the same thing and also areas of snow a few years ago. I had to ditch them because of the auto scroll feature. I was getting lots of bouncing and ?rubber band? effects as you tried to sail south and you hit a mountain on the next screen. On the odd occasion it would even throw us inside a mountain in the direction we were traveling.

We are using sphere, but I gather most if not all systems will be the same.

You could fix it by just moving the mountains a dozen tiles south of the top of the map. Cut & paste works wonders! :)

Appreciate the suggestion :D. But what you can't see on the map is that the whole island is surrounded by a mountain. This is because the map isn't big enough to fill up the whole space the standard OSI map does, so it doesnt make use of auto-scroll. Im not counting on alot of players, so Im not making it too big either. I left the mountains out of the screenshot on purpose though, because it didn't look that good :P.

But Im really bothered by the giant amount of mountains currently. So Im thinking of putting in a truckload of water and still make use of the auto-scroll feature. I'm not sure yet. Heh. In fact, I've already changed the map alot again. ;P.

But thanks, I really appreciate it. I can really use feedback :>
