In late June, our head mapper, Tommyknocker, began rebuilding the map, realizing after his prior experience on Stainless Steel that it was important for gameplay to incorporate the settlements before implementing the terrain. At the time, he was also unhappy with the previous results that had been achieved with blocky coastlines, overly steep mountains and the lack of lakes and rivers.
Therefore, here are some screenshots of completed regions in South America and the Caribbean, showing every settlement so far placed in the game. Factions have not yet been implemented in these shots, so don't worry. We'll do something about all those English. . .

Colombia

Northern Andes

Western Venezuela

Eastern Venezuela

Orinoco(navigable) & Trinidad

Southern Lesser Antilles

Northern Lesser Antilles

Puerto Rico

Hispaniola

Jamaica and Cuba

Northern Cuba

Bahamas

Bermuda

Special thanks should also go to our second mapper, Icefrisco, for his role in settlement placement. You'll be seeing a preview of Central America sometime in the near future.
