9jack9's page

I'm planning on extracting the blank map in GIMP then blowing it up to 9x12, and mounting on foamcore.

At that point, I'm going to use Post-it white label tape to make blank hexes to place over the actual map, and draw a sketchy and partially incorrect map on those hexes representing the rudimentary map the PC's start with. When a hex is explored, the tape comes off.

The foamcore allows for the use of colored map pins with paper flags on them to label places, features, cities, etc. The larger scale of the map lets me use stuff like the city and town pieces from Settles of Catan to represent farms and cities, use the roads to represent the kingdom borders, etc. When the next section of the map coumes out, I can mount it as well, then cut the foam core to fit it together.

Number of Buildings per city is limited by Kingdom Size as well..apart from the one house per turn you can automatically build

Ah, the ubiquitous table on another page... we meet again, my old foe.
