I really need a snappy name for this project, but I'm not feeling inspired yet. I had the time to add to the previous map . I'm stil...

Just a quick progress image from this map. Finished off all the border areas, and I'm now working on the coast, including where I antici...

Here's the final result for my latest randomly generated hexmap. Terrain-wise, I'm pretty happy with how this looks for a five-mile ...
