I was drawing a blank on what to make my next map on, so I made the following thread:

The rest is history

Antarctica - Ice = Continent that will be more significant

Cool! :D

I think it'll make for a really nice map, I've always found the shape of it really interesting, and you can make a lot of "land-grab" scenarios, or even concept History, where human tribes tried to colonise it before the Ice age :)

It should work well for 1v1 as well! Glad you liked the idea!

No problem, Fleecemaster! I thought it would provide for something different than a typical real-world map. It feels totally like its on this earth, but it feels wholly different as well. That is why I liked your idea so much.

Can you do an Australia at some point? I have no idea how to use inkscape.

Yeah, inkscape makes no sense :P. Personally, I think it is a cool map. I was actually expecting it to just be Antarctica. So many people would never realize that most of Antartica would be submerged if it melted.

I could try for Australia... I know a good map is lacking... but first is to complete this project.

Okay, all territories are set in position. Tell me what you think.

The background hurts the eyes a bit, otherwise it is very nice.

I can easily make the background darker, so that will not be much of a problem.

Darker background would be a great improvement.

The borders are also kind of messy (they look rectangular-ish), but it's good enough so far.

Curious to how it turns out.

Zephyrum-

I used straight beizers for this map. It is a stylistic choice. The rectangular-ish look of the borders was intended for this map. Although, they could match up better.

Bonuses Done! Only thing left is the territory names. This will be challenging, especially since I wont be taking the NinjaNic Approach of labeling everything as "snow"

They are of course subject to change if they are found to be too strong or weak in areas after it is tested.

Wow, that's actually looking really nice! :D

Maybe there are scientific names for the regions of Antartica?

I really like how it looks btw, you've done an awesome job, love it!!!
