As the title says, this is a Workshop where people can just post maps they've made, whether they are fictional, non-fictional or alternative history.

Here are some templates which can help you get started!

Here's a few of my recent designs to start things off and to maybe give some inspiration. These are some maps I've been working on throughout the year. They aren't necessarily finished, still have to put names and other little details to really bring them to life.

What if Germany had won WW1?

This could also be linked in with fictional flag design competitions eventually could it not?
Perhaps. If you're designing a fictional country it would be cool to see a flag as well. I would love to run a comp on this sort of thing if there is some interest.

Suggested project:

A world map for the Bigfooty Olympics. Whether those countries replace real countries on existing continents or whether you come up with your own continents is up to you.

Non-canonical map of the BF Olympics (don't get salty if you don't like it, make your own version)

*Grey bits are inhospitable wastelands, deserts, arctic biomes etc.

Well that map is wrong. For a start Phoronu has no land borders with any nation, and the Phoronu land mass looks nothing like that even if it wasn't joined.

magpienato We should run a comp where you basically bid for a certain pre-sectioned area of a continent or something (that has terrain details, history, etc) and you have to design a flag, coat of arms, etc. Not sure how many would be down for it but that's just an idea.

All these names come from a random town name generator? If not, do they have any meaning?

Otherwise fantastic design. Love the addition of terrain features such as mountains and rivers. Did you make all those little towns as well?

Of course they have meaning, every name in Phoronu has meaning and that meaning happens to be the random generation of them on the website that created the majority of this map. with just some minor changes that I did to it.
 
I just bought Cities Skylines and I’m trying to work on a capital city, when that’s done I’ll try make a map, but that game is ****ing hard.
