Make the Nation - Part 11 - FLAG!

thanks for all the feedback on part 10 - I'm adding those details to the Cisneria document.

We're getting close to the endgame now, and there's just a few details left to iron out before I'm going to get busy with making the map.

Today I'd like to open submissions for flags, so let me know any ideas you may have in the comments below.

Venthiri Coastal towers

Here's something a little bit different - I had started messing around with Sketchup a few years ago, but nothing ever came of it - i was too ambitious, as always, starting with a HUGE temple complex as my first project, and it was beyond my skills to execute.  I gave it a go again recently and came up with this fortress, which is based on the many Maltese coastal fortresses we have dating back to the time of the Knights of St. John. I'm actually pretty happy  with the ...

Atlas Elyden #60 - The River Shibboleth (low-res)

Here's a type of map that's a bit different to the usual map I make - one that does not describe a nation or series of nations. Instead, his map focuses on a geographical area, specifically the river Shibboleth, one of the most famous rivers in all of Elyden.

I'm sure you've also noticed the unusual format of the map - unlike my usual maps, which are A3 size (42cm x 29.7cm) this one is half again as large, at 63cm x 29.7cm. If I were to ever get the atlas printed, this would be a pull-o...

Make the Nation Part 10

EDIT: I'm reposting this, making it available to all tiers of patrons - so if you want to contribute to it, go ahead and let me know in the comments.

So, the votes are in on resources, and Cisneria’s main resources are cattle, lumber and umbra (in that order). There’s also an honourable mention for a unique moss-based drug trade, which should be restricted to a small region or city.   

The Umbra mining operations can be assu...

POLL! Make the Nation part 9.5 - resources and industries

After another lengthy hiatus, I'm going to try to speed things up with the creation of Cisneria and will be putting up more suggestions and polls over the coming weeks!

This time, it's resources.
