Empires in America new map (WIP)

[timallen]

Hi all:

Its been a long time since I posted anything here on the forums so I thought I would let you see what I am working on right now. It is an update of a map I did about 5 years ago for VPG games. At that time they needed a lot of text boxes and tracks as well as a map to fit onto a 11x17 sheet. My solution was to make most of the boxes semi-transparent, so the map would show through. Last month Alan at Victory Point Games asked me if I would like to head up the graphic redesign of the game and I of course said "Yes!". This time out, they have increased the size of the map to two 11x17 sheets (so, 22x17). That gave me more room for the boxes and other bits. I am also making up the cards (75 of them) and the counters. So, lotsa work to do! Here is an image of the old map, the new one so far, and some of the cards I have made up. Some of the named spots on the map are not in the right spot, but then they werent in the original map either and so far at least the game company seems to like it.
