Campaign map

The first two remind me of Kittelsen paintings.

The third one reminds me of the opening scene in the movie Gladiator.

Man, I hate that movie.

I'm glad you liked the loading screens. I'll post some more soon. The first one above is made from a photo near where the battle of Hastings was fought. The second one is also made from a photo, but it's more heavily edited. The village was originally some 19th century village or so, so I had to remove windows and too advanced chimneys and change shape of the roofs in order to give it a dark age look. The third one is also made from a photo taken during Scandinavian winter...

I'll post one loading screen from where Kaupang was located, and another one with the Icelandic coast soon, unless the pictures I've got turn out to not be suited for becoming loading screens.

Also, I've gotten far with the map_ground_types.tga which I might post by the end of this week. It'll, apart from showing the ground types, also show the final plan for where coastlines will be, which lakes and islands are included, and how large the map will be. I think it'll go much faster to fix the heights and climates maps, and then only the regions and features maps are needed before I can start testing the maps. Unfortunately there have been many delays due to replanning of provinces and settlements over and over again. This time I'm making the terrain first and will prepare a map for provinces and cities so I can quickly fill them in when I find out which of them will be included.

I have a good map from 900. It shows well the natural vegetation and the names of the slav and finno-ugrian people.

Names are in hungarian but if you have an english list you can easily identify them. If you need help I will translate the names. I have this map also in my atlas. Sorry for the red lines.

If you make rivers sailing, then I remember you that Ixbila, at Al-Andalus, had an important river harbour (river Guadalquivir). In fact, the most important razzia of vikings at Al-Andalus arrived via Guadalquivir until Seville (Ixbila).
You can also make sailing the estuary of river Tajo.
