I figured since I have a crapload of maps that are sitting in my computer collecting virtual dust, I might as well showcase 'em.

Click me for mappy goodness!

Sign my guestbook and make me feel like I didn't just waste the last three hours putting it together.

...Am I in heaven?

Hmm, a noticable lack of harps, feet on the ground, no wings...

HelloLegend · Aug 25, 2006

Very nice work you did there.

HELLOLEGEND: Hmm, Antarctica's a bit cold, isn't it?

What? I was saying you understated, not that Diamond was awful. If I said Diamond was awful, my pants would catch fire.

Those maps are very well thought out in comparison to the macpaint jobs that we commonly see in AH challenges where entirely North America is under one rule, or CHINA is smaller than in OTL which automatically makes that ASB!

Likey likey! Good stuff indeed!

How could you have wasted time, when you were assembling such an excellent site?

(thank you for using ebru -- I don't think anyone's ever used it on a map before)

Awesome job Diamond.

One question though are the world maps supposed to be cut off a bit in East Asia?

I wonder if Hashemite is man with no friends and no life?

Try maximizing the window you've got the site open in. Or get a larger monitor.

They look fine to me...

Yes.

I deleted his verbal diarrhea. Guess I'll have to proof the guestbook every couple of days...

I plan on redoing some of those maps, particularly the Gate of Worlds and the other older maps, to reflect the improvements I've made in my techniques. I think I'll also create a blank map page there to show all the templates I use, and maybe one for map backgrounds as well.

Obviously we're not in heaven. I just posted.

Diamond-great site, I love AH maps.

Yes.

It is probably the monitor as I am only using my work's laptop computer to view it.

And good to see you removed Hashemite's tasteless attack.

It's the width of the browser window which is the issue. The site uses a fluid layout, but should use overflow:scroll instead of overflow:hidden in the CSS.

And I agree, nice site.

Diamond · Aug 25, 2006

Thanks for the compliments guys. I'll keep adding to it as time goes by.
