Still need a map

[Marquis de Sodaq]

I'll make a second, much larger pair of images today. Here is the older one with north at the top:

And its associated ecoregion image:

Also, look at the scenario "Iran" by Harlan(?). This whole area is included on that map, with north at the upper right. It is a huge map, but could be cut down to size with MapEdit, that fine program made by somebody around here.

Here's a zip of a new pair (the second is a bitmap, I notice that both of those above are jpegs...). The extent of the pair of images above should fit into this pair when rotated 45 degrees. If you need the list of what the colors are, I can send you a new one. Good luck!

Great, thanks!

Now if only Stefan would reply

But I think I´ll start on both my suggested maps later this evening. Or maybe not, as I have to cook and then perhaps watch a good movie, and definately go to bed early for once.

[Heresson]

Right, Jorrit. Me above everything. Stefan must wait!

[Stefan Härtel]

Sorry, I tried to reply days ago, but the damn server busted every single one of my attempts
I'll go with the second choice (the one where Baghdad is in the north).

Also, look at the scenario "Iran" by Harlan(?).

Nope, that was by my humble self

Sorry, I posted that while at work, so I couldn't just check before typing!

In any case, that map contains the area you need, and MapEdit could very easily chop out the new extents.

The map of the scenario 'The Great Game' also covers roughly the same area

[Mercator]

Here´s a screenshot of what I got so far (map with rivers on the left, and without them on the right)...
The coastlines and rivers are done and I´m working on the terrain. The terrain of the Arabian peninsula is pretty much done the terrain in India is still a bit sketchy.

The map´s 70x139, by the way.

[Stefan Härtel]

That's great work!

[Mercator]

Damnit! I had almost finished the Himalayas and started on the Zagros mountains twice, but my computer crashed both times before I saved it.

Just ranting though, I´ll get it done...

I was just wondering where you got those wonderful pictures. Do you have any of Korea and maybe Japan?

[Mercator]

Both can be found online at the National Geographic website.
The ecoregion imagery is here:

The satellite data is here:

Edit: Oh wait... There´s much more over there. Use the menu on the left of the mapmachine (last link), select "World Themes" and then "Physical". You´ll then get a pop-up with some more themes, such as vegetation land use, elevation, habitat type and mineral resources (handy for Civ3).

And the map is nearly done, by the way. All I have to do is change the region around the Thar desert to jungle.
