Very impressive looking work so far guys!

As discussed previously I'm very happy to help with this. Any suggestions on what you'd like me to work on? Bear in mind that my knowledge of Warhammer geography is not as extensive as yours, though of course I can use existing maps etc.

I would like you to work on Lustria I reckon. It's the south american jungle home of the lizardmen and it is very well mapped iirc.

The real issue is making sure the scale is right. I will have a look at home at how many hexes tall and wide would make sense. It's supposed to contain 9 provinces + 1 skaven tunnel province (a mountain with a tunnel entrance).

I suspect it's actually got to be similar in size to ulthuan (which was 30x30).

So, I will add some more touches to Ulthuan. Do I send the scenario to you then? Seems like a good idea to gather them som(br)ewhere.

Also - what next? Got another assignment for me?

Yeah send it on to me.

I need to have a look at the map and plan some things over the weekend.

Then yeah if you're up for me I'll set you something else!

Yes, they are coming along. Slowly, but surely. The Shadow Warrior took some time, as I wanted to do something different with it.

Anyway, do let me know if you have another piece of the map I can draw. I wouldn't mind to have a little something to do on the side for variation.

This weekend I'll see where everything is at and give you another chunk of map to do, DJ.

I plan to work on the Old World and finish it off this week, then begin the tedious process of moving it to a static graphic (which will include ulthuan).

I keep trashing entire bits of the old world and redrawing them. Basically I was annoyed by having lots of stuff in the wrong place in my original so I'm doing extensive work. This will take longer but you won't have Tilea way too far off to the east, which will be an improvement.

I am going to make the badlands pretty big because I think the greenskins need an actual home instead of all disputed regions (though they will have a whole load of neighbours, believe me).

DJ if you want another task, please feel free to make a start on north america aka naggaroth. Now on the actual warhammer map, naggaroth is massive and barely even has a western shore. But my map is going to be an east west wrap (with the north south border effectively a blank divider representing the chaos void) and consequently Naggaroth will have cathay, ind etc off its western coast (reachable by sailing). It will be connected with Lustria by land through a narrow bit of land. It will be connected relatively broadly with the northern chaos wastes in the north.

Here's the important bit - if you make this, please do it on the largest possible map size in the AoW editor, start with nothing but sea and put naggaroth in the middle, drawing all the way down to the join to lustria, but no further (since sasooli is working on lustria). Having lots of empty space around it will make my life easier when I am stapling it together with the other pieces - I can draw in the connections much more easily. In the north feel free to do the chaos waste, but only do whatever is connecting with Naggaroth, because I might end up totally redoing the connection anyway - don't go too far north because your work would most likely be wasted.

As for the scale, I told Sasooli to make Lustria 40 hexes vertically. I think about that size makes sense for Naggaroth too, maybe even slightly less. This makes it about the same size as the empire - remember I am scaling all non old world stuff down in size and making a eurocentric map - Naggaroth is only going to be ~10 provinces.

As for width, maybe 30 hexes at its widest? Basically they make Naggaroth waaay too wide on warhammer maps and with this being a wrap it needs to be more like lustria, tall but not that wide.

Does this make sense to you? I'm happy to look at a general shape before you put on detail etc.

I like the way you think, or you think the way I like.

Yes, I'll put Naggaroth in the middle, add a bit of chaos waste in the north, but otherwise just all water all around. About 38-39 north/south and 30-ish at it's widest. I'll post the shape like last time, that seems like a good idea as it is still easy to make changes at that time.

Previews of Naggaroth, general shape:

The continent itself is 38 plus 5-6 north<->south the 38 is the black bar you can see in the second picture. The 5-6 is north of the sea of malice, up until the chaos waste.

I've also drawn the "broken lands"-islands off the west coast. I also made the decision to make the actual dark elf part of the continent, the north eastern part, slightly larger than its real counterpart, while constraining the western and southern areas somewhat. I did keep to the general shape though.
