You are here!

Unless you're from Kildare, of course. Jonas is already making a map for them, so I thought I'd stick to Benacia.

This is the new official Ministry of the Interior map of western Shireroth I promised. Click on it for the larger version. I may incorporate some of the smaller cities of each subdivision into the map later. I'm just worried that it will be uneven since only a few subdivisions have made internal maps. If you rule a subdivision on Benacia, and you have a zoomed up map of it, please link me to it.

If I were to sell color posters of this map for $20/EUR12/£10 plus shipping, how many people would want one?

Ask me when all of Shireroth is mapped. Then put it all together into a large poster or two.. and I'll buy it when I'm not broke.

Maybe extend it to include Yardistan, then it would be the right proportions for a full size poster.

But this is all sorts of awesome!

I agree; extend it to include Yardistan, and I'd probably buy one. :thumbsup

I would buy one if you ship to UK?

And how big would the posters be?

Dr. Spangle: I'd use CafePress. They have a couple of options, and they probably ship to UK.

Both the preview and the full-scale version have been updated to include Yardistan. Bloody stupid map wasn't in a format that allowed adding onto it easily, but I think I beat it into submission and it should look pretty seamless. The Minister of the Interior had better get a really cushy salary and lots of perks.

I don't really know where to go from here, though. I don't really want to add Naudia'Diva because that would almost double the size of the map to show only a miniscule amount more of Shirerothian territory. And I'm not sure if I should add Kildare, because number one Jonas is doing his own map, and number two that would make the file HUGE and maybe hard to load. It would also involve a lot of ocean and non-Shireroth territory. And then there are all those islands like Norfolk and Melangia to the east that I'd have to do something about.

If you're interested in a poster, are you satisfied with this Benacia view, or can you suggest something better?

This is beautiful :thumbsup

:worship :worship

I'm making a map for Kildare, but this is a beautifull map! Couldn't you make from of Kildare, please?

It's maybe better for the size that the map of Kildare isn't with Benacia on the same picture.

Beautiful! :worship :worship
From a distance I'm concerned about the rampant lawyerism manifesting itself in Shireroth currently. A simple Kaiserial slap on the wrist or censure by the community should suffice. - Jacobus Loki

I'd like to see all of Shireroth on one map with one format. This would be absolutely awesome! I think almost all of us would like to have one of those, not piecemeal maps of various areas.

Wow, this is just amazing. I'm very impressed, stunned... I can imagine myself standing there at the Elwynn Mounts looking over Benacia (I doubt you'd see _that_ far, but still :))

Preview and main map updated to include a not-very-seamlessly-merged Kildare.
Next phase is the Hawaii-style insets and possibly Straylight, if my sanity makes it that far.

That is just beautiful! Yes, I want one for my wall. Please let us know when you have it finished, and how much you will be charging (US currency) for it.
