Daruna Campaign Map |
Click for full-sized version. The scale on this map is 25 miles per hex. I'm pretty pleased with the way this has developed, and I'm considering this close to done. There's a temptation to add more labels, but I think it's getting a bit cluttered, so I will probably resist. Most of the names appearing on the map were created using my own random name generator using the Sanskrit / medium length option.
Lovely! :)
ReplyDeleteNice icon set.
--Is that the commercial alternate set or one of your devising?
It's actually the standard free set. It works pretty well for my purposes, though I find it gets a bit cluttered for larger maps.
ReplyDeleteI can understand that.
ReplyDelete--I have a map of the Black Crown which is the north-polar continent (12 million sq. miles), and it loses definition and simply becomes a strange painting unless one is willing to explore sections at a time.
Yours looks very nicely lain out, and possesses a high degree of verisimilitude.
Thanks for the clarification.
Thanks! What I'm finding with hex maps is that more than 30x30 or so becomes too busy to make much sense of. I started mapping out the region in this map with a 5 mile per hex map and quickly gave up. I could capture more of the detail I wanted, but the map became unreadable.
ReplyDeleteMy plan here is to finalize this map, then use a series of 1 mile per hex maps to blow up important locales as play progresses.
M,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the details.
--I will have to keep that in mind when I scale down the maps. :)
