[Competition] Vote for your favourite map!

[T. Foster]

I like kensanata's map best, but I'm confused/disappointed that no one used a hex-grid. Were you instructed not to, or did everybody just decide not to?

PBartender, I voted for you (loved the map, although I thought the choice for the ocean color was a bit off from what I'd like, JMNSHO though), but I gotta say: you have tough competition with Tovokas. In any case, good luck to all!

cheers,

Me, I'm voting for Pbartender. I love that style, and I respect the lack of thick blues, given the fiery nature of the campaign saga.

Out of curiosity, how so?

Awesome maps.

I voted for Pbartender's because of the flavor it inspired, although Tovokas' is pretty awesome. I loved HALL's, but it isa bit to "busy" IMO. But it really made me want to use it for a military campaign.

Wow those are all great. Wish I had just 1/100th of that talent.
Tovokas won my vote cause I like that style but all of them were great.
Sometimes I hate that you can only pick one.

I'm with Foster, what's with the lack of grids?

The original map didn't have a hex grid, and we weren't instructed to use one. I suppose no one thought of it. I know I didn't.

 

[JVisgaitis]

I didn't use a grid because maps in the old days didn't have grids either. I prefer my maps ungridded and I have a transparency sheet to place over them with the grid. Plus, gridded maps just look ugly IMO.

What do you need a grid for?

In my instance, at least, it'd make the map look awfully silly and ruin the style/flavor/feel of the map.

What's more, I purposefully left off the mile markers -- "One week's journey by horse from Gate Pass to Calanis, down the mountains and through the forsest to the coast" is all you really all you need to know.
