Map Makers: Looking (desperately) for help...: 2015-12-02 09:30:44

Hello everybody,

As you may have noticed in another thread, I decided to continue making a map I started 1 year ago, I abandonned my project seeing the amount of work needed to complete and finish this map, during that period I wasnt that much focused yet about Warlight, and I just gave up, but kept a .svg copy of my work.

I decided after pressing demands from a group of players to restart my work.

But the thing is I am very unexperienced about designing maps, and furthermore the map I am currently making is meant to be huge (something like 3000x3000 and hundreds of territories if not thousand, for a first published map I know this is really not smart).

I would really need help from some of you dear Map Makers, someone who could advise me about how to improve the 'playability' of my map, I mean make it a fun map where an infinite possibility of scenarios would be implemented.
I also want to make it aesthetically great with some artworks (and I know some of you made incredible works there).

Last but not least, I am up for sharing my work (I think that would be possible through sharing file websites), if any of you want to participate actively and collaborate, I think that would definitely be a possibility.

For any questions feel free to ask me here.

To Angry Koala

I to would like to see a map that would be huge to, I tried it once but I couldn't finish it because of life's tasks. If you are going to make a galaxy map then you have my support.

I have tried making one once back a couple of months ago, but I can't finished it because of life's problems and responsibilities. Tell you what I could give you my file and give it to you so you can see the results, but there is one thing, do you use adobe illustrator or photoshop to make your maps. Because I used adobe, well only for a short time when I was in community college. I don't own adobe I just used it in college, but I notice another program that can make warlight maps I forgot the name of it, but its actually my first time making one and I kind of gave up on it.

If you would like to look at mine then I could give you my email address.

The programme he is thinking of may be Inkscape, I don't make maps but I read about it somewhere on the WL Wiki.

If you post the link, I can look and give you tips. No interest in actually doing the work (I have my own maps to finish).

I can certainly offer some tips and tricks, (provided your using Inkscape) I recently finished my own map. Post a link to what you have and I'll have a look.
