okay, well in that case i just have to redo the entire map since i did not regard time period....how about just a Yucatan peninsula map of the waring Mayans? They were never actually an Empire, just a series of battling City States, with loose dynastic affiliations. Also, they had practically collapsed by the time the Spanish arrive, but I would still like to have some off shore Spanish ships, to make the map a little more interesting.....OR....I would like to do and Montezuma vs. Cortez map, which i think would be real cool as well
okay, so i made the map, have no idea how to load it, it is a GIMP file
can anyone help?
I want to make a map of ancient mexico, guatemala, and belize with all the empires that existed there (disregarding actual time periods of existence) I would have a Mixtec, Aztec, Olmec, Zapotec, Mayan, maybe something with the Western Mexican societies (combining Jalisco and Nayarit) and then Spanish Ships in the Gulf of Mexico with Veracruz being part of the territory. I would probably do an extra army thing for Teotihuacan, probably break up the Mayan Empire into 2 if not 3 separate territories, and then do a Capitol or Monarchical bonus with dynastic lineages of the region (i.e. +1 for a Palenque and Copan occupation for the diplomatic connections or +1 for San Lorenzo and La Venta in the Olmec territory)
I was thinking of just doing a map of Cortez's conquest, but i think it would be more fun to have all the Imperial regions of Mexico included.
So, my question is, what graphic program should I use. I admit I am new to this process, but I have a lot of vacation time coming up and not much else to do...so i'm lookin to fully commit to this
Any help would be much appreciated
