After messing around with Fireworks for a little bit, i think photoshop is much better for making maps.
There are some advantages to using fireworks, you can do somethings more quickly, but there are more disadvantages than advantages.
If you can only buy one program then buy photoshop. if you have both though, then use both.

[image] Here is the update i hope you all have been waiting for! give me some feedback positive or negitive. I want to make it the best it can be

thank you, im going to limit the flash in the water, the hardest i worked on was the white part trying to form mountains
but again this is the rough draft and the final will be way better

The white region looks fantastic!
I can't wait to see what you do with the rest of them.

This version is definitely more pleasing to the eye although the map has lost some of the perdition feel. I am sure you have plans for that though.

Keep up the good work.

Oh, and I assume since you told me that the map is now 1024 pixels wide that the above version is just a resize so that it fits better in the forum.

yeah the final size will be 1024 wide, i uploaded it from my face book and they more then likly resized it

i plan on making it darker i just turned up the whole brightness to the whole map so i could make the borders of the regions better. but i dont really like the flashy look in the water so im going to take that out and give it a darker tone and not something a hippe would look at in awe for 2 hours lol

it's funny that you mention hippies. i was kind of already thinking that in it's current form the map is more hippie than perdition. Judging by your first effort though, you know how to make the perdition look so I can't wait to see the next version.

I like how all the islands kind of have a flame shape at certain edges.

NanoTek's first version of this map reminded me of a painting I did when I was a teenager. It could have also been called Throes of Perdition. I changed my avatar to it to show you. (hit CTRL + F5 if you don't see the change)
nanoTek wrote:
yeah it certainly has that dark looks to it, its nice i like the flames. Throes=intense violence, perdition= damned to hell. the painting has the theme, just need to incorporate it into my map. After i post my the final version of the map, how long would it take before it would be fully functional?

several days to a week. depends on how many territories you end up with.

okay here is another update i got rid of the flashy water and decided to go with a old map like background, love, hate, let me know what you think, and i didnt include the territory circles because i have dial up and the file size was way to big.[image]
