Gosh ! Guildworld is back on - woot ! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with !
Hello !
Finally, time to throw myself in the Guild World !!!
It's been in a corner of my head for a long time now : a map with fjords !
I took the liberty of redrawing the coastline of the Map A... Since I didn't took more place on the outside of the land that was given by J.Edward, I assume it won't be a problem... If it's not the case, please, let me know, so I can redraw the coastline in its original coast !
Here's the first draft of what I intend to do :

For the design of the map, I'll try to approach something like that (not completely, but I like the style of the mountains, and some of the colors... though I think something more cold would be more appropriate) :

Don't hesitate to let me your ideas, observations, or recriminations... As I've just started, everything is wide open !
Gosh ! Guildworld is back on - woot ! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with !
Oh my!
Go for it, Jo
Two countries in progress at the same time - yours and Voolf's - Guildworld is definitely back on

Looking forward to this one JO. Your country is one of the closest to invade for the folks from my northen snowy lands (Map C). I would suggest less mountains in the north and lot of villages. They are eager to pillage

So here's a catch for me...
I've started the mountains, first with contour lines and some shadows in order to help me with my future caterpillar...
After this first try :
Northern Maze Essai montagnes 01 A.jpg
I realised I had a scale problems : some mountains are more than 400 KM long... I know, there's still the "magic" excuse... but I'd rather not use that...
So, I started over :
Northern Maze Essai montagnes 02 A.jpg
Those are still huge mountains, but they are more realistic regarding the scale... but, mostly, I find them a lot less attractive than the first ones...
Any ideas anyone ?
(keep in mind that I won't keep the contour lines at the end, I want to try the caterpillar madness relief thing)

I made a fast try with the caterpillar... I have to improve my technique, and be more careful, but I might do the trick...
What do you think ?

They seem to be broken attachments.
They're working now - and a very interesting chain of images they are too
I also prefer the 400 mile long mountains, but if you want to be realistic you can't really afford to keep them... unless you turn them into 400 mile long ridges?
I can't really see very much of the hachures to say anything on that front!
