Map of the Fortnight: Main Discussion Thread

[Comte de Dordogne]

I don't have much hope of winning this fortnight.
On the other hand, I'll be sending out PMs to find out how my opponents made their maps.

*MOTF kinda slumbering for several months*

*Suddenly one challenge results in some of the best maps the entire internet mapmaking community does in the year*

That has almost become a pattern.

I know, right? It reminds me of a fallen empire from Stellaris, or maybe a tomb world from 40k.

Jokes aside, kudos to everyone who submitted a map this round.

The new threads will be a bit tardy this evening, but I will have them up.

I have an idea: NEWS OF THE WORLD

Depict a newspaper page or news website from an alternate timeline that includes a map.

@TheReformer your submission is beautiful & frankly I’d probably vote for it myself but IIRC your map has to have been made

1) specifically for the contest

2) within the fortnight that the contest takes place in

not something you made earlier.

Hmm, fair enough - well feel free to ignore if so! Been a long while since I've submitted for one of these lol

Yay! Thank you all and congrats to the Reformer, that map was amazing.

Dark humour is because I didn't get tagged and assumed my map wouldn't be counted, I didn't vote...

But congrats!

MotF 281: Valedictorian has been extended for one week.

Is it required to have approval from the original author (just like in that MOTM 5 years ago)?

Highly encouraged. If the person is no longer active here, let me know and we can chat about it. Otherwise, you should be asking permission.

I've been trying to publish my map for a while now, but it's too big. I don't know how to reduce its weight without ruining it.

I recommend uploading to DA or Imgur and then linking the photo.
