here is a first sample of skyrim map 1

here is how it will be when the map 1 will be opened , the only thing to change is may be the size of the region not yet decided ....

Wery good work!

Looks prety good. My only suggestion would be to make the small grid lines darker... or more clear. Its hard to see the cell boarders.

prometheus · Post by **prometheus** » Thu Jun 24, 2004 4:27 pm

i think u are right , also i think i should include more of the northern sea , so severall fjords and islands could be modded...

i don't know if i should add also names to leave the claiming map as clean as possible , i decided to include more of the morrowid province just to make a comparison , in the next map it will be not or no more than the normal one i guess...

btw have u noticed that in the map i am tring to follow geoklogical evolution and climatics due to the orogenics of the land?....

looks good
only one thing: my semy-color-blind eyes can't see the grid well, could you maybe change the colour or tone?

prometheus · Post by **prometheus** » Thu Jun 24, 2004 8:04 pm

u want me to change the colour? of the lines?
to what ?
is this a general request?

Maklir · Post by **Maklir** » Thu Jun 24, 2004 8:08 pm

hmm, how many cells is Skyrim all together?

prometheus · Post by **prometheus** » Thu Jun 24, 2004 8:09 pm

a lot...

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Thu Jun 24, 2004 8:26 pm

Make them less transparent..

prometheus · Post by **prometheus** » Thu Jun 24, 2004 8:27 pm

well people i am receiving contrastant opinions ... someone wants a different color someone wants darker someone wants lighter etc... please find an agreement...

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Thu Jun 24, 2004 8:30 pm

Erhm, just make it so we can see it

kingfish · Post by **kingfish** » Thu Jun 24, 2004 10:58 pm

hmm, LOL, everyone wants it something different...

maybe keep the colour, but make those small lines less transparent/darker and those thick ones more transparent.

sirwootalot123 · Post by **sirwootalot123** » Thu Jun 24, 2004 11:25 pm

as in, the cell-thick lines should be brighter and/or more transparent; while the little grid lines should be darker and/or less transparent.

Also, it would help newer modders if you made morrowind province semi-transparent as to lessen confusion; and of course make a second, smaller version of the map.
My only other suggestions would be to make the map go a bit further out to sea, and to somehow make the cities more visible (I.E. put a lightly visible red layer over them).

prometheus · Post by **prometheus** » Fri Jun 25, 2004 4:05 am

red layer ... nice suggestion ...

Is that Saarthal over in cell (-54, 23) ?

prometheus · Post by **prometheus** » Fri Jun 25, 2004 4:12 am

LG ... right that ius the place as u reminded me previously i added it in the map....

Lord_Gallant · Post by **Lord_Gallant** » Fri Jun 25, 2004 4:15 am

Ah, excellent! I probably got annoying saying "Saarthal!" everytime Skyrim was mentioned, lol! Now, with that icon on the map, my work here is done.

EDIT: That was a joke.

prometheus · Post by **prometheus** » Fri Jun 25, 2004 4:19 am

well keep remembering of other woks to be done on that map...

kingfish · Post by **kingfish** » Fri Jun 25, 2004 10:59 am

forgive my ignorance, but what is "saarthal"?

The first settlement on Tamriel

It's great!

Is it possible to reserve spots?

First mannish settlement on Tamriel you mean

the Mer where in Skyrim long before the Nords.

The map looks great but those roads are still a bit on the faded side in places, looks like you drew them then used the airbrush in places as some are really faded. Plus once the map is shrunk down for claiming purposes they'll be even harder to spot. Just my Ã¢â€šÂ¬0.02.

prometheus · Post by **prometheus** » Sat Jul 31, 2004 11:28 pm

good point , but remember that actuallu i am tring to make it faster aND CNCENTRATE ON THE DETAILS LATER , so to complete it sooner....

TÃƒÂºrelio · Post by **TÃƒÂºrelio** » Sun Aug 01, 2004 12:16 am

Prom the map is great, but when we make one for claiming would you consider making it easier to make out what is there. ATM, it looks a bit crowded and it is hard to notice everything right away, IMO. It is fine like this but when you look at it as a whole it is a little jumbled(i guess). I personally thought the Morrowind Mainland map was great, it was easy to make out everything on it, maybe consider a look somewhat like that. Either that or it might be something else, like making the icons differ a little from eachother so they don't blend as well. You know what I mean?

prometheus · Post by **prometheus** » Tue Aug 03, 2004 6:24 pm

? I don't understand what u mean , if u refer to the definition , then this is a really low low definition map to not occupy much space to upload .... the original is much more readeable , if u refer to the icons well i think is a bit late to redo the whole map since i took almoust one year to arrive where i am now....other than that i guess i didn't got what u really mean.....

TÃƒÂºrelio · Post by **TÃƒÂºrelio** » Tue Aug 03, 2004 6:26 pm

It is probably the definition, it just a little hard for me to identify different areas well, like on the Morrowind map it is much easier. Not a big deal.

Nairb · Post by **Nairb** » Tue Aug 03, 2004 6:41 pm

change the lines to bright orange. that would show up.

Thats not a fact. The Nord think they were first in Tamriel and went later to Atmora. Then after hundreds of Years they came back to Tamriel. Read 'The Pocket Guide to the Empire: Skyrim'.

The map just needs to be a bit more readable. Maybe you could highlight the places of interest somehow, make them stand out from the blended visual glory of the Skyrim wilderness.

prometheus · Post by **prometheus** » Fri Aug 06, 2004 12:31 am

the map you see is the game map that will fuction as a base for all the pther kinds where everything u like can be highlighted, but i want to preserve an uncontamined one for every kind of purpouses, so with no squares, no names and such , then on the other ones there can be any highlights you like.....

sxotty · Post by **sxotty** » Mon Aug 09, 2004 8:21 pm

Yes having more areas in the north I think would be good. Ice makes some amazingly beautiful looking creations by itself, and I think that some castles made of ice and that sort of thing could be lovely. So a few towns on penisulas sticking to the north, ships would stop at them and that could be their reason for existing in such horrible climate...

Which reminds me are we going to have some huge mountains anywhere? I think a quest that involved simply figuring out a way up a gigantic mountain would be in order.

sirwootalot123 · Post by **sirwootalot123** » Mon Aug 09, 2004 8:26 pm

well, there was discussion to make statics for actual pointy mountains, but i dont know what happened to the idea. I think it would rule, and wouldnt be too hard to make either.

Zalzidrax · Post by **Zalzidrax** » Mon Aug 09, 2004 8:27 pm

The dragontail mountains should be friggin impressive- like a chain of mountains a bit shorter than Dagoth Ur. High Hrothgar should only lose out to Dagoth ur heightwise by a few meters.

prometheus · Post by **prometheus** » Mon Aug 09, 2004 8:50 pm

no the highest mountains are in skyrim as well as all the highest peaks of tamriel , after the mountain vulcan of course....

sirwootalot123 · Post by **sirwootalot123** » Mon Aug 09, 2004 8:51 pm

dagoth ur is the highest. However, none of the other mountains in MW even come close except for the velothis.

prometheus · Post by **prometheus** » Mon Aug 09, 2004 8:53 pm

no again , the higest peacks are in skyrim , that is lore ....only the vvanderfell mountain is higer , while the outher four highest peacks of Tamriel are in skyrim....

TÃƒÂºrelio · Post by **TÃƒÂºrelio** » Mon Aug 09, 2004 9:03 pm

The Vvardenfell Mountain is Dagoth Ur, and that is the highest peak in all of Tamriel, that IS lore.

prometheus · Post by **prometheus** » Mon Aug 09, 2004 9:09 pm

the second highest peack i think should be hrotangar mountain in skyrim....
