Thanks for the comments, this is fun!!

Wow snodsy - I just can't seem to get my head around how you make it look so sculptured and three dimensional, when my own contour lines look just like... well... lines. LOL! Its beautiful

MOUSE --- I start with three or four regular contour lines - Top/Bottom and a couple in between, then I just squiggle lines to inbetween them and some are connected between them, always connecting to an upper one.

Are you hording your power? Or should we throw up some power lines across our border?

I think, given the transmission towers the power is sent over the air like tesla proposed.

Yeah I was also assuming giant Tesla coils. Guaranteed "safe".

No Power Lines, as Robbie & others have stated, this isn't typical power that is generated, it's send over airwaves in pulses.

Aaaah! So what I really need is some kind of reception tower of some kind

We'll have to discuss how many orphans you need in return as slave labour... er... er... I mean helpers

EDIT: I think I must have been ninjad by the author. A belated THANK YOU snodsy for explaining your technique!

Fair enough, so we need some sort of receiver tower if we want some power. That simplifies things.

Edit... and Mouse just said that too...

Can you tell I'm at work and it takes 15 mins from when I read the thread last to when I actually post what I typed.

Fantastic work. I really like your cliffs, I will attempt to emulate you on the shores of my patch.

This is a beautiful map Snodsy

Cheers,
Meshon

It is an exceptional map, isn't it

Looking at it again, I think I might have made my own cliff much too dark, even though its facing almost directly away from the sun. I might try to lift the shadows a bit, so that my own neighbours don't find it too hard to match up with the tone

Here's an update, working on the Northeast corner and a few other spots, added the Dam/Bridge drawing, comments welcome.

### Latest WIP ###

[Voolf]

Snodsy put WIP-thingy Tag, i always miss your progress because there is no thumbnail. I have been scolded before cuz of missing my WIP Tag

Your ideas for map are always awesome, like the update.

[snodsy]

I edited my post, hope it now works, I thought putting the Tag with the blue dot as a wip was what was needed, but I see I need to put ### Latest WIP ### before my image? Never good at this computer ****.

snodsy there's a button that does it automagically

[snodsy]

Thanks Straf, I've only been here for a short time (2 years), guess I should figure out what all those icons mean
