ooc:

I'm tired of RPing nations without a map.

Maps don't have to be complicated to be functional.

I will create for you a functional (and decent looking) map.

POST HERE - Do not telegram me with orders.

I need to know:

1. The geography (island, group of islands etc)
2. Major rivers - lakes - inland seas (names and details)
3. Major cities (please limit this to no more than 5)
4. Unique features ("massive harbour in the south!")
5. Basic orientation (ie - island is narrow - running north-south)
6 Other - whatever other details you think are important.

It will take me a few days for each map, and I'll telegram you when its done.

Cheers.

Hmm can you make for space?

Insert cheap, bribed, satisfied customer rant here

Trust me, this guy is good enough with maps, nothing special but that doesn't realy matter for NS.

Thumbs up wolfie.

Hmm can you make for space?

How about an asteroid belt with various bases on significant chunks of frozen rock and space in between?

Part of my problem is I'm never happy with the ones I make.

This is how I imagined it is, positions are rough.
Geography - Forested to the north, with mountains in north-east part (15% of map), South is grass plains. If there are borders with other countries, the Coast is on the south. Otherwise one island.

One major river from the centre to the south. One large lake in forested part.

Cities: Khwarez - Centre-ish. Pedrengrad - North-west-ish. Oakengrad - On border of mountains. Port St. Loren - South Coast. Koczow - East-ish.

Unique Feature - Port St. Loren is situated in a sheltered harbour protected by a dog-leg.Also if you can stick a peninsula in somewhere that would be great.

Basic Orientation - rectangular with a fifth shorter line, but borderlines stretched, mis-happen and generally bent to hell.


Thanks a lot Wolfish :D

wolfish. i need aa map with those feautures

I have a basic map, here:
http://img83.exs.cx/img83/3526/VALLIANPLAINSNUMBERED3.jpg
Its nation number 5 on the map. If you could draw the map with the channel, leading to the sea, and the nearby nations. Here are the stats you requested:

1) You can see this on the map.

2) The lake you can see in the map is Lake Landing, by the lakeside is the city of the same name. Also, if you could add a small island in the lake. Also, the river should go from the very North, to the bay in the south. Its a wide river.

3) Lake Landing, by the Lake of the same name, is to the West of the lake, where the river currently exits.
River-Rise, in the North-West, about 1cm in from the NW border.
Undertown, about 1cm from the southern tip of the Lake.
New Undertown, about 2cm south of the border with nation 6, south of the lake.
New Sanctaphrax, 1cm south of the bay.
Old Sanctaphrax, between East of nation 7 and north of nation 9.

4) international airport, west of Lake Landing.
River starts from right next to River-Rise, at the spring, and runs into the Bay. The river is called the Edgewater River, the bay is the Edgewater Bay.

5) You can see that from the map.

6) Forests in the central area of the country.


Hope thats ok. If anythings missing then let me know.

Okay - that'll give me enough work for a while.

Just to be absolutely clear - these are basic, but workable maps - I'm not necessarily filling in trees and mountains - though, with a special request (and if you say please) I will create a topographical map for your nation.

wolfish will you make me a mape please

wolfish will you make me a mape please
He just said he would!:rolleyes:

Check Telegrams for info.

neo seprioth a huge island hase a masive naval base to the south and an offshore base major citty one sephriuoth citty 6 wide rivers

Okay - huge island with a naval base - major city is One Sephrioth. A bunch of rivers...

Any other city names?

This one should be easy... or insanely difficult...

My nation has a particular quandary: We have our own earth. Nothing big about it, its just that we pulled a planeshift in the middle of Guffingford's nuclear bombardment (You still have one of our battlefleets too... Rail guns and arc cannons, meester! Feel free to plunder for tech :p), and ended up on a very uninhabited Earth that we then proceeded to colonize.

So I guess the list you would need would consist of the following:

1) Earth
2) Nothing new
3) Special Case (See Below)
4) Nothing new
5) Not Applicable
6) Not Applicable

With regards to the limit of five major cities, is there any chance that number could be extended since... well... all you really have to do is find a plain World Map and put a few labeled dots on it?

Each of the 25 Archons has their own city, and while I don't quite have names for every one of them (yet), I could provide a decent list relatively quickly.

I have a basic map, here:

3) Lake Landing, by the Lake of the same name, is to the West of the lake, where the river currently exits.
River-Rise, in the North-West, about 1cm in from the NW border.
Undertown, about 1cm from the southern tip of the Lake.
New Undertown, about 2cm south of the border with nation 6, south of the lake.
New Sanctaphrax, 1cm south of the bay.
Old Sanctaphrax, between East of nation 7 and north of nation 9.

4) international airport, west of Lake Landing.
River starts from right next to River-Rise, at the spring, and runs into the Bay. The river is called the Edgewater River, the bay is the Edgewater Bay.

5) You can see that from the map.

6) Forests in the central area of the country.


Hope thats ok. If anythings missing then let me know.

How do you want me to deal with the surrounding nations? Do you want them named? Colour coded or deleted?

roughshot military complex and mega citties 1-10

Do you mean that the city names are actual numbers? I want to be sure I understand you.

1. Similar to the Pacific Northwest of North America (Alaska, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, etc.). Lots of forests, a big mountain chain running north-south along the eastern border.
2. Columbia River (main river, runs east-west from the mountains to the ocean, fairly wide, permits boat traffic, etc, meets ocean at bottom third of the country and goes up the mountains at about a 27 degree angle) Danton River (north-south, seperates north-western third of the country from the rest), just a few random lakes will be fine; some big, some small
3. Alemain (capital, located at the mouth of the Columbia), Anchorage (in the north, along a bay), Arthur (halfway between the two), Asheton (one the far side of the mountains, parallel with Anchorarge), Kilburn (near side of the mountain, a few hundred miles south of Kilburn)
4. Nothing really, just that the whole country is basically the Pacific Northwest (i.e, Anchorage is where anchorage really is, Alemain is Seattle, etc)
5. same as #4
6 Nothing I can think of.

let me know if that's enough, I can think of other details if you need them.

Is this an island or part of a larger continent containing other nations?

How do you want me to deal with the surrounding nations? Do you want them named? Colour coded or deleted?
Colour coded, but there's no need to put in the whole nation. Just part of the bordering nations will do. Neighbours only.

As part of a larger continent, you don't need to label any other nations.

your map is tight :D
Whatever your cooking up id like to partake but i reckon youd say no

TAG

-tagged-

that's thier names

Ooo I'd like a map please :)

1. It is a rounded oblong island with a defined point at the very south east corner. There is a seperate island (another nation) to the west of it. (looking like a banana with the curve facing outwards.
2. River Sif running from NorthWest to the South-Centre.
River Cass running from the Centre of NimTheScout to the East.
3. Tunoles, on the river Cass, around the centre of it.
Andar, In between the River Cass and the river Sif
4. There is a large range of hills to the North consisting of several hills with a mountain in the centre
5. Island is mostly rounded oblong shape.

I'm going to get to each and every one of these - but at this point I'd ask that no one else file a new order until I've caught up. Thanks. W.

This map is giving me freaking nightmares - Its not an easy one - I think the source file sucks.

Regardless - I'm getting there.

I need more details on this new river - where exactly is in in relation to Lake Landing?

Also is the city of Lake Landing your capital city?

I apologise for it. I wanted a detailed map, sorry.
River starts from right next to River-Rise, at the spring, and runs into the Bay in the East. Edgwater River and Edgewater Bay are the names. Hope that helps.

Caught up yet? If not I'll go back to waiting.

OOC: Wolf if you made me a map (i havnt submitted anything yet) would you also be able to host it for me, as I dont have a website nor know anybody who does.

Great job here btw.

My website is currently full - www.freewebs.com/wolfish

But Freewebs is a great site that can set up a home page in less than an hour with all kinds of free space.

And no, I don't work for, nor do I receive any kind of bonus for saying such things....to be clear, I can barely turn a computer on.

Seeimng as I can't make my own this is great. :) Wolfie

Anyway, Aust is in the center of antartica, it is almost a cercle about 100km from the sea, however in the south there is a narrow lang strip called the Bambinio corrodor. It is 100 meters long and leads directly to the sea. It is almost completly urbanised, and the citys called Bambinio. Population 123 million.

Aust is mostly mountains and people eak out a substance living. In the cneter of Aust is Aust city, home of 1.87 billion people, to the north there is the industrial city of Al-Nub (pop 235 million) and to the west Tanka (pop 156 million. Oh and there's a large river running North east to South Wast through Aust called the Tigras.

Edit: Sorry Wolfish, didn't notice your message about submitting any more.

Aust - that's alright - I'll get to everyone - though Malkyer is my last before Christmas.

Hey Wolfish, put me on the waiting list for after christmas, kay? Ain't gona bother with the details till my time comes.

Give my your list of cities - and locations. I'll up it to 10.

An island roughly circular with a small peninsular jutting out into the western sea.
Island is roughly a 6 mile diametre.
Mountain in the centre.
Port on the peninsular facing northward named; Isaxuport
Small City on the south face of the mountain called; Isa
Few roads.
Few ecological disruptions.

(My main society is underground in case you are curious. This is just a surface map)

You seem to have your hands full, Wolfish, so I'll make this as simple as possible.

- Long strip of land running north to south, bordered on the east/north/south side by an ocean and on the west by other land. It is widest at the bottom and gets more narrow at the top.

Five major cities..
Capital - Quesh, near the narrow part at the top.
- Jesh, near the west side.
- Elisan, near Jesh.
- Opitula, near the east side.
- Makinat, near the center of the mainland.

Hope this isn't too much. By the way, I really appreciate what you're doing. I can only imagine how difficult some maps are. :D

Wolfish, if you're a bit overwelmed, I'd be willing to take on a couple of requests to help out.

Some maps I've done:
example 1 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v192/blame_tibor/scandavian_states.gif) example 2 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v192/blame_tibor/the_island_states.gif) example 3 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v192/blame_tibor/map4jondera.jpg)

Okay - everyone STOP - I will continue to do this - but I've got too much of a backlog at this point. Requests after this post will be ignored until I'm ready to accept new orders. Those before this post are in line - and I'll get to your map in order.

Thanks for understanding.

i have mountains all around my border it lookshttp://img53.exs.cx/img53/1857/surperier7wh.png like that a littel. and woodland in near the water.

5 cities=
Marquette in the middle

Escanaba towards the water (not on coast) in the left area

Sault St Marie on coast in the right

St ignace on coast on the left

Iron Mountain (in the mountain areas.)

2 Rivers (dont care where you put them)

1 large lake near the coast.

That'd be great - thanks. Would you take post #26.

That'd be great - thanks. Would you take post #26.
I'm on it.

1. The geography (island, group of islands etc)
2. Major rivers - lakes - inland seas (names and details)
3. Major cities (please limit this to no more than 5)
4. Unique features ("massive harbour in the south!")
5. Basic orientation (ie - island is narrow - running north-south)
6 Other - whatever other details you think are important.

It will take me a few days for each map, and I'll telegram you when its done.

1. a group of islands (archapelo) over 50 smaller islands and 12 large island (were most of the population lives)
2. only two rivers: The Rhiene (yes i know i spelled it wrong i did that on purpose) this is on the lagest island and pretty much cuts it half going from the Romance Mountains (center of the island) to the east were it empties into the sea, the second river is a smallrun off from the Bay of Syces it goes about 20 miles into the island and eventually stops (this is on another island (the two island just mentioned are the largest islands in the chain (they drawf the other islands in size)
3. On thelargest island (the one with the Rhiene) the Capital of Romacia
on the Bay of Syces island, there is Zelienople, on the third biggest island ther is Harmony and finally on the fourth largest island theres the Naval Base City of Pearl Bay this is on the east side and is nearly in the center of the archapelo with all the other large islands having the smaller islands sorrunding them
4.listed them already :p
5.again already talked bout this
6.thick jungles to nice beaches, a paradise

i hope its not to hard to read and understand and other than that THANKS ALOT

edit (didnt see your backlog thing sorry just get to it when ever your ready next week next year i dont really care)

cmon just do this last map. please. i was typeing befor i saw this.

Give my your list of cities - and locations. I'll up it to 10.

1) Capitol City- Horizon's End, Located on the Russian side of the Bering strait, along the Kamchatka peninsula.

2) Archona, at the approximate location of Cape Horn in south africa.

3) Rheinland, pretty much the same as Berlin.

4) Kentei City, same as Tokyo.

5) Shikoku, same as Kyoto

6) Gibraltar, two-part city at the strait of Gibraltar

7) Manhattan, same as New York

8) Haven, located at the mouth of the Rio Grande

9) Riverside, located at the mouth of the Amazon

10) The Spire, Citadel of the Twelfth One, located at the base of one of Antarctica's mountain ranges. Pick and choose, I won't mind.

These are the biggest ones. 6 Godulan cities and the capitol cities of the four godulan Principalities.

Thanks fer the help!

The map of NimTheScout (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v192/blame_tibor/nimthescout.gif) is done. I've TGed him the url. Feel free to have me work on another one Wolfish.

OCC: Im just curious is as to what program you use to make these maps?

OCC: Im just curious is as to what program you use to make these maps?
Well, I'm not sure if you were addressing anyone particular, or if you were hoping for a general response. Personally, I use Adobe Illustrator to trace a map. Then I tweak it to get the shape I want. Then I throw it in Photoshop and get the color right. I go back into Illustrator to make rivers or whatever else I need and then throw that into Photoshop.

If you are looking for a program you can use, The Gimp (http://www.gimp.org/) is a free graphics program. Heck, with enough patience, I'm sure you could do something decent in MSpaint.

Feel free to have me work on another one Wolfish.

#39 AUST is next.

I'll be working on that massive world map for Godular. This certainly goes much faster with two people. Thanks for your help.

And for the record (responding to a previous post) - I use MS Paint to do these maps - it takes a long time, but with patience you can get something that is workable for RPing. That's why, though, that I didn't promise high-quality maps in this shop. I'll give you a decent map that will serve your RPing needs.

Cheers to all, and to all a good night. I'll be back to map servicing in the new year.

Cough

Jeez - forgot all about this...okay - I'll try and get back to it next week.

Aust's map is done - Godular is next.

Any other volunteers to make maps let me know.

W.

Okay, I'm going to need one for multiple worlds (three, to be exact). Only one of them is around the size of Earth. Before I even post details, I wish to know if you are willing to attempt it.

For when, of course, your backlog is done.
