Printable maps and cards

Well it looks fine. Maybe the Space map in particular wasnt a good choice, as the spaces are too small, but I imagine it would work on a map with larger territorry spaces. Maybe the USA map or Alexander's Empire may have been better.

The reason I didnt put it on A3 paper is that do not hve any A3 papeer, nor do I have a printer that can accomodate A3 paper.

Well I am going to try Australia and show you all what I come up with. Just putting that out right now, so if someone else is trying to do this with that one let me know so I stop. :lol:

ok...i created a Super Large version of my Arctic map, I created it to be a bit smaller than my actual risk board, about 51x42 cm. Beats me how it would be easily printable. The best way I can think of is seperating the map into pieces for printing and glueing it back together. If anyone wants anything smaller, Id be happy to resize it. Ive put it into a PNG file. Ive also designed cards for them.

I will also edit the first post of my arctic map thread with the links. Have fun!

NOTE: You may have to add the extension on to the file name, which is .png

my father has one at his workplace.

then i intend to laminate it to keep it from getting dirty and to give it more stiffness.
i won't be able to fold it but i don't care.

bad Speler, your pictures look like red x's to me.

I dont see any red x's, but i did have trouble opening the file. You may have to add the extension to the end of the file name, which is .png

I'm bumping this for two reasons.

1) I love what the Arctic guy did.

2) I plan on trying to do something similar with mibi's help using his seige map. Because my dorm friends love playing it.

EDIT: On a side note, I hate wiki upload, I will need to find something better then that. Because when I try to access the arctic improvement now it is corrupt.

Here is an enlarged seige map. its a straight raster enlarge from 72 to 300 dpi so i cant be sure of the quality when printed, but i'd be interested in finding out.

size 11x14.3 prinable on a 11x17 at kinkos or something.

It should be by now. Unless you want to move one of the arrows over a pixel so our OC members can relax.

the eastern wind that blows in from the plains is affecting the arrow placement. cant you tell that all the grass is blowing int he same direction? hello!?

Wow, you can really see the ducks in that picture.

A map I think would be fun to try in real life would be World 0.5. It would make for very fast games for those people with little patience. Actually...it's not very complicated, I think I could redraw it myself in real life. Hmmm...

I did try trying that once, but I don't remember how it worked out. Hmm.
