Any good programs for city mapping? Dungeondraft makes basic stuff like circles harder than it needs to be. Wonderdraft lacks any good wall tools.>use GIMPI don't want to draw walls by hand. Watabou would be great if it had user tools
>>94410668>trying harder to sound German than the DSA maps
>>94411468the fake German is part of the fun of WF though
>>94410206
>>94410668>>94411486Why are anglos always too retarded to get their german names right? Is it really to hard to ask one guy who actually speaks the language before publishing?
>>94412610>talking to germans Fuck that.
How do you even play on these gigantic maps? What is the use of them?
>>94413367Well for example every single building ont his map >>94410487 has it's use, descriptions and inheritants. You just check the manual and stick to it what it tells. Honestly don't understand what's there not to get.
>>94413367>look at map>get inspired for town or city >write down descriptions or details as needed for area Seems to work. I don't generally use 1-1 mapping of a city in ttrpg play, having found a few workable stand ins. I've been collecting them to chop up as terrain for wargames with chits though.
>>94412610>Is it really to hard to ask one guy who actually speaks the language before publishing?yes
>>94413515>SalzenmundOk, sure why not>FischplatzIt doesn't seem like it's a place where people could go fishing, so this doesn't really make sense. Is there a fish market pr something? That might explain it>Adler AcademySure, whatever>Salzbad bathsOk this has to be the worst one. This literally means Saltbath baths>WalsturmWell it's a tower connected to a wall. Makes sense.>Steinhafen PitsOk I guess>MarkthallIt's either "Markthalle" or market hall. Pick one language for christs sake.
>>94415646>>Walsturm>Well it's a tower connected to a wall. Makes sense.A native German would read that as a Whalestorm.
Posting some lotr maps
This ones a bit wacky.
One of my favorite city maps from Runequest
>>94417358
Another favorite, Tyr from Dark Sun.
A classic forgotten realms city, re-imagined
Barsaive from EarthDawn
From Tekumel
I wish I had a more high-res version of Lankhmar, the cool thing about this map, is that the grey tiles are essentially blank on purpose and are interchangeable representing "blind alleys". One of the best modules TSR ever made.
From Artesia
Waterdeep megamap
This ones pretty cool
And another dripping pure soul
I know it says cities, but I could get some villages of varying sizes?
its a work in progress obviously, but how awful does the coast line look?
>>94418778I'd say it's ok.Kinda reminds me of NY, though.
>>94417275>quarter of the faithful>its a triangle damnit
>>94417423Were the grey sections sized for urban geomorphs? Almost looks like they were.
>>94417640There was a fantasy village generator a while ago, made buildings with orange roofs iirc. Don't remember what it was called but seemed to do the trick.
>>94419387>>94417640https://watabou.github.io/
>>94419582It wasn't this one but also cool thanks anon. It had a more mspaint sketch sort of style. I'll see if I can find it.
>>94420546
>>94420553
>>94417470Love this one
>>94417336Where is this from?
>>94420553ok im done. the wait times are too long. check here for the rest of the asoiaf city maps. including normal asoiaf mapshttps://mega.nz/folder/IK8zTDoa#IeVh9lXXtFh4DdY6i1WhNQ
>>94417242I am a native german speaker and the word "Wall" (meaning wall) does infact exist in german aswell so "Wal-" could be a variation of it. An example of use would be in the word "Hadrianswall".
Very soulful thread.
>>94419582Thanks, I'll use that.>>94419721Neat map, but village has an obvious place for waterwheel that isn't there.Nvm, I'll just add it myself.
>>94412610Because we don’t fucking care what some seething German faggot like you thinks lmao.
>>94417398They copied the imperial city from oblivion
>>94420987More likely other way around.
>>94420987By going forward in time? Earthdawn is from the early '90s.>>94420931>>94419721I've seen others online but that's the one I've played around with the most.
>>94421039>>94421027They stole the idea from Todd’s dreams.
>>94411954>>94417257>>94417506>>94417511I need more tiered cities, please! Fucking love this stuff.
man, so many of these city maps have water going through it. I know we need water but not all cities are port cities or on a river.
>>94411993This looks really good.The source for those interested https://bearded-devil.com/2021/07/19/building-gossamer-part-7-the-verdant-quarter/
>>94410206Oh man this looks like it was made in campaign Cartographer 3, am I right? That thing gave me fucking brain damage back in the day. Horrific software.>>94410628I export Watabou maps into Wonderdraft/Dungeondraft and it works pretty well. Sometimes touch them up in GIMP/PS after. I don't love them compared to other people's maps but I think they're serviceable for what they are. They are a bit limited in how creative you can get though, considering you're still working within the bounds of watabou's procedural engine.
>>94412042Probably one of the best !Venice maps I've seen. Very fun. The perspective feels very confusing though, like I'm looking at it upside down.>>94424572Will dump a few of my Watabou/WD maps
>>94424589
>>94424597
>>94424610
>>94410206I dont believe that cities exist. I think they are a marketing scheme created by big cartography.
>>94424572>I export Watabou maps into Wonderdraft/Dungeondraft and it works pretty well.How do you do that? You can actually import them into the software or do you mean using the overlay tool to trace.I really like DD/WD, but the shaped tool is fucked. If you click and drag out a circle the start point floats about instead of staying anchored and for some reason you cannot press CTRL/SHIFT to make perfect circles like every other 2d drawing software. Very odd.
>>94424572My guess is that it was actually made by hand due to it's age and german autism in general.
