my morning studying the cartographic history of for a little art project 🤓

thanks @dabbling_duck@oldbytes.space for the inspiration!

i finally get it wally 🤓

progress on the cartography art project :D

now to turn this into a plotter-friendly set of pen commands

@vga256 I adore Monkey Island 2. The best thing to come on 5 floppy disks. If it came out today it would require 40GB space and an always online connection. 😉

@youronlyone indeed, close! U7 era - which is pretty much the same thing :)

i haven't added the Isle of Fire or Ambrosia yet.

@vga256 @youronlyone
Yeah those two were the reason I went back a bit to the time between 6 and 7 for the map I made. Ambrosia and the Isle of Fire added too much clutter to the map and weren't really designed to look realistic on a map.

@smithkm yeah i know what you mean - it looks fine in-game, but when it's rendered out to paper it throws the balance off a bit. i'll see how it looks once i've sketched them in :)

@vga256 Here's my aforementioned take on the map should you be interested https://draconic.ca/maps/britannia.png

@smithkm oh what a small world. I saw this one posted over at the cartographer's guild an hour ago - great work 👏

i'm slowing building mine up from scratch, and seeing how well it can be plotted on my HP Draft Pro EXL pen plotter.

@smithkm @vga256 I love that you added farmland! 👍

@vga256 @dabbling_duck

Ultima? .... I've heard of that game.
