Uhhh, in case you missed the large text that says "Civilzation 3", this is for Civ3, not whatever your map is for.

 

[Kenric af Grashen]

Doh

I knew i forgot to mention it was for Play the World

 

[LesCanadiens]

Uh hu, that's why your screenshot of the minimap looks nothing like a Civ3 minimap.

 

[Kenric af Grashen]

Yeah its from the mini map in the editor and then stretched

Edit: If anyone has any suggestions with location placement/corrections just say

 

[thomasash]

Oh I'd love a Discworld map if you could cionvert it to just plain vanilla Civ3. Pretty please?

 

[MightyMaus]

Oh, neat. Looks very well-done, excellent, etc. I would posit that one should have more plains out in the east by Henua, Kythia, Brindisi, Muntab, etc... and rivers out there, too. Also, the Counterweight Continent and XXXX seem a little small, as does the Widdershins Ocean between XXXX and the "Main Continent".

What source did you use for the map? There's a great map in the GURPS Discworld book. My scanner's broken, but I might be able to borrow a friend's tonight if you'd like me to scan it.

 

[Kenric af Grashen]

I used The Discworlde Mapp by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Biggs. I admit It needs to be improved and I will get round to increasing the size of the XXXX and and moving it away from the main continent. I also have a patially finished vanilla fersion it shouldn't take me too long to do. also i'd love to see different types of maps for referance differences, similarities, etc so please scan some images in

 

[MightyMaus]

It's still a great map. :jump: But, yeah, I'll do the scanning tonight, after I run over to my friend's house.

 

[Kenric af Grashen]

good i'll look forward to improving the map with your images

 

[MightyMaus]

It's a fairly similar map; grayscale, I think it stresses that the east is a little more verdant than the Discworld Mappe suggests. Also, this one was put out quite recently... 2001, I think.

The map spans 1 1/5 pages, so the left fifth of the image has a few choppy bits where I fused two together. The overall effect is that Krull looks funny, but it's pretty minor.

Here's the small one (72 kb):

The larger one weighs in at around 1.1 Mb. It had originally scanned at 64-color grayscale, and was a hefty 4 megs. I took it down to 8 or 16 colors (I really need to start remembering these things) and it still looks fine. At some zoom levels, it's going to look really weird; 100% looks fine, though. This one's good for seeing terrain (even if it is is in grayscle) and starting locations.

I think it looks like a thawed-out Antarctica

 

[The Omega]

That doesn't look like other Discworld maps I've seen...aren't there supposed to be more islands, and that one place that sticks over the edge of the planet?

 

[The Last Conformist]

The place sticking out over the Edge, namely Krull, is included - near the bottom left.
