Aug 13, 2007 21:03:27 I realize that i've probably not shared here this work i made some times ago.

So here is for you curiosity a map i was trying to do with Civ3 game engine. The basic part is finished and i stopped after having too much trouble adding enough details to achieve a serious representation of the world (i.e : game limits town image to four kind ; modifying terrain is long and there's but a few terrain addition possible ... you'll see here and there part where i tried this or that, without satisfying success, here's another example from test => http://arghis.free.fr/d&d/map2/fireship.jpg the ship is indeed a ierendi special fire ship, the giant, well, a sea giant, and the floating island, well, the floating city of Serraine ; as a sidenote, i'm not the one who made those nice graphics, sadly : )

Be patient while images are loading =>

These are always fun! I like getting this sort of 3d-ish perspective on our favorite world. I like the Serraine, Fire Ship and Giants from the sample as well. Cool stuff

This mod for Civ3 was done by tjedge1 (IIRC) with help from some others and is available for download. It's massive at ~500MB but is incredibly well done. The maps that Arghis is showing is exactly how the game looks. I give it highest marks possible.

Arghis, nice job putting the world map together. It's cool to see the whole thing like that as one map. Thanks.

Aug 14, 2007 9:59:24 Arghis this is wonderful! I especially like the way some features (such as islands) have a bias and the scale is a bit off the hexagonal maps. I think it makes more interesting as a players map. It is probably how empress eriadne thinks the world looks like after processing Heldamar's notes.

Aug 16, 2007 6:20:12 Hi

I was indeed working with Tjedje1 (who came on this board sometimes i think) on some maps, and i think he must have kept some part for scenarii probably. But at this time, amongst other things known as life, i loose most of my work because of a crash, so i left the mod team ...

I shall try to find an image of the big world map made for 1280 or 1600 screen. It look nice as a wallpaper for instance, or simply the faulty details don't appear unless you search especially for them, so with a bit of rework, it may perhaps be used to illustrate this or that.
