    Default Nov '19 / Jan '20 Lite Challenge: Capital

    This month's challenge seems like a good excuse to have a go at making a map of Capital from Matt Colville's stream of The Chain. I have no idea how it will go or if I will finish it but if I start a thread maybe that will encourage me to keep going?

    So far I've laid out The Pellet which is the smaller of the two islands off Capital. The layout of this part is based on Genoa.

    Welcome to the challenge Q! It is a long challenge so you should have time, but if you find yourself running out of time just finish and submit this island, all by itself it would be a worthy entry!

    It's a nice start. it does remind me of the shape of Mexico.

    I love this style of map, and for a city the size of Capital, I think it's the perfect choice.

    Unfortunately the size of the full city has intimidated me just too much and I'm going to go with your suggestion of just this island portion.

    I wish laying out all the little shapes was fun but it is so tedious!

    Interesting that you thought of Mexico, I was using a map of Genoa as inspiration for this part of the city.

    I'm glad you approve!

    Here is an update finally. The next major issue is to do something about putting in a decent border and some sort of title.
