    Today has been strange, lol. I was fiddling with the smallest things and getting nothing done for hours, then in the last half hour I've added some new things that I don't entirely hate.

    I admittedly guessed on how to do the wattle and daub houses, if they're even called that, so I'd really appreciate if someone could point out any glaring mistakes on those houses. I don't care for absolute realism, but any tips to help make them make more sense would be great.

    Love that maelstrom.

    I'm really digging this map! I love all the hand-drawn town etc. elements. Great work.

    Cheers,

    Lovely. The tiny details are wonderful.

    Just a quick post with no update to see if anyone has a solution to this. It doesn't really matter since I don't have to include this kind of back story, but I'm not sure if I can see yet how to make this paradox work, or if it even needs to be one.

    Something like: These once great and original lands, filled with new and exciting ideas have fallen to the Dark Lord. Bla bla bla the chosen one must destroy the Dark Lord to save the land. But like I think people brought up previously, it's a bit of a paradox since the Dark Lord has doomed himself in that the chosen one must eventually defeat him. And the act that would save the land is playing into the tropes, when it probably shouldn't.

    That's why the map is so funny
    The detail of the maelstrom is great.

    "Bla bla bla the chosen one must destroy the Dark Lord to save the land."

    Keywords there being "Bla bla bla" The map is fabulous, and lots of fun. You really put a good deal of effort into making all of the details very clean... which looks great!

    I think I spend too much time on maps which is why I've so little maps to my name. I should try to work on multiple at once, or at least move on from slightly tweaking this when it's pretty much already done and move onto something else.

    So I guess this is the finished map. I might come back to it, but the deadline isn't that far away now and I want to move on, so here it is. Not entirely sure how the competition part works, so just take this one as the finished one unless I post another. Cheers!
