Hi everyone!
I just thought I'd update you on our progress with the mod.
I've now completed the province names and I'm even trying my hand at some modelling - with mixed results. Check the forums for a complete annotated map! In the meantime here is the latest iteration of it:
https://img466.imageshack.us/img466/5324/provinceandcityandterritorymap.th.jpg (https://img466.imageshack.us/my.php?image=provinceandcityandterritorymap.jpg)
In this case the province capitals are numbered (the corresponding names can be seen at the forums (http://z14.invisionfree.com/The_Ilsamiren_Wars/index.php?showtopic=3&st=0)). The white text refers to the owners of the various territories. The Ilsamiri are in dark blue, the Northern Kingdom in red etc. Also at the forums is our geographical feature map which shows 30 or so named land forms.
This brings me to my next point - we need a mapper! Some time ago a certain person said they would do some mapping for us, but that never happened. Ideally anyone who was to apply would be prepared to work on height maps for Medieval II and Oblivion (as both work off a 2d height map as far as we know. I'd also appreciate it if anyone who applied could give advice on topography and scale. It'd also be nice if they were prepared to make it quite detailed, to make the mod as realistic as possible is the aim.
Thank for reading,
Ilsamir Lord
