Nice work @ari236
@Playing-Kid said in My First Custom Map:
You can use Gimp as a great free software to make your maps
And I agree with Gimp. That’s the tool I used for working on my map files.
Guys,
Hey Paul thanks so much for having Ebard make these. I saw in a long post where you guys were deciding which pieces to make.
––No need to Thank me,…I was simply acting in everyone’s interest,…including my own.
I made mine simple and purchased the lowest detail which I wish I would not have. I cant wait to see your pieces painted.
––Yeah, Getting them made in FROSTED ULTRA DETAIL was one point that I truly wanted to strongly suggest to everyone when I showed my pics. These buildings are just covered with detail like windows, columns, etc. that just scream minute detail! You’ve seemingly already come to this conclusion,…just wait until you see the F.U.D. detailed versions.Tall Paul
I got the new high detail set of Capital markers.
St. Basil’s Cathedral (Russia)
Westminister Palace (United Kingdom)
Colosseum (Rome)
Taj Mahal (India)

Wow, those are unbelievable Cyanight! Nice job, man, nice job! :-D
Waiting on HBG to ship new minis so I decided to update my map. This version contains all the roundels for all the neutrals except for Crete which I could not find. The second map file contains an expanded English Channel.

That is so cool, Cyanight. Very awesome, having each nation’s symbol, makes it that much sweeter. :-D
That looks really slick. Well done. If I ever get a map printed it’ll be this one!
Cheers for the effort! Looks smashing - just downloaded…

GREAT MAP Sent it out to get printed. When looking at the map I noticed that USA was a little off. I though it was the file but the boards are off also. LOL

I guess I never put the boards together that way.
Thanks again for all the kind comments.
Only 3 more weeks until HBG releases the Amerika set or is supposed to for the 3rd time this year. Its been almost 1 year since I preordered the set.
The map file version (N) had a mistake. When I expanded the English Channel I actually made a mistake with the northern seazones around Iceland. Here is the corrected version of the map.

Can you make Bessarabia a little larger? (Also, you could give Crete simply a roundel of the Greek Flag)
:((((((( i already sent the file to print …. is that big of a difference ??? I can’t see it  …
I would contact your print company ASAP. I think it is a big difference but in 80% of the games it might not ever be a problem. The issue is SZ 117 should border the season around Iceland thus making it possible to move from USA east coast to Iceland in 1 turn.

Version N (Wrong)
Version O (Corrected)
TOO LATE …… :(
GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE AN MARK ON THE MAP.

Don’t feel bad. My map is never totally done - one I had printed just last summer already has corrections and additions on it. Print out stickers and put them on the map - you’re good to go!

Thanks for the support. I know what you mean. I have a $600 metal map at home that is basically going to get redone. It seems there always needs to be changes and updates.
As per request. Here is version (Q). This version has an increased sized Bessarabia and I used the Greek Roundel for Crete.
