Just wanted to say thanks Andy. Tried to make it a little more personal for you foundry regulars. It takes a lot of time/work to research the major cities and geography of a foreign country. But It's really so much fun for me. I think I have more fun creating the maps than playing on them. I'm already a Björk / Sigur Rós fan - so I have to visit Iceland for sure, with this map on a T-Shirt!

I would have posted a draft sooner but I was trying to have the territ's worked out with the borders.

Here's my first draft working on the relief style of the landscape. (which is the image in my sig)

This looks awesome. Clean and simple while but very artistic. I just love the style of this map. I can't wait to see where this ends up.

I don't like the sharp contrast between the natural looking green and mountains and those teal blobs.

keep the glaciers. the circular nature of the territories it unique and i think it makes the map stand out a bit amongst the 70+ maps already available.

yes, the glaciers may not fit how I envisioned them. They'll be worked on though.

I officially call dibs on the: In Honor of RjBeals Tournament when Dustbowl and Iceland are complete. If anyone else tries to do it I will hand down punishments.

My favorite maps are yours, RjBeals. By a landslide. :D

Thanks prime.

I'll have an update soon - next day or two. I've been working, but not quite ready to post the image yet.

I see the southern region still has some missing borders where the old glacier was... will be fixed.

This map is looking gorgeous RJ. Great work as always.

My only concern right now is the Eastern region. The colours used for Vopnafjordur and Egilsstadir are a bit too similar for me. I struggle to see where a continent ends and another one begins in that area.
