Lefanis is whipping himself back into shape.
The above is accurate 25% of the time, truthful 50% of the time, and facetious 100% of the time.

Whipping increases production.  Fact - Sid Meier said so.

Hey, Pandas need their sleep.  Also it's Lefanis that is the privileged recipient of whipping.

 :D

Progress so far- I was trying to do the colonies for a long while. Multiple attempts failed miserably, the map is very big and I couldn't get my scale right (which was discouraging). I decided to try FEI and EC, since  it's much easier to get the proper scale for them.

BT is about 30% done. EC/ FEI is going well, if slowly (working only on weekends, and I spent last few weeks in France, so I have been otherwise occupied   ;) )

So in short- I've been lazy, but I haven't stopped. I hope that the FEI map at least will be done by the first week of August (I've worked my way up to Ozrat).

You should post your progress - the earlier the feedback, the easier it is to work it in.

These are map files for all of EC, very much work in progress. Be gentle.  :P

It would be great if someone volunteered to piece together the map, preferably with a fast internet... The low res version i got after piecing together just a third of it was around 40 mb. Besides, it would give me time to focus on the AT map.

What i am doing now-

  • Prettifying
  • Reducing foliage, particularly in the south.
  • Bringing Castle Ubent and mountains closer to Ibladesh

The inland lake, it looks a little like Australia, but made of water instead of land.

I'm not saying it's incorrect, just that I hadn't noticed that with the lo-res maps.

Looks very cool.  Though I'd suggest touching up the various borders to smooth them out and make them less hexagonal.
