Making a map for Game of Thrones
Making a map for Game of Thrones
This actually will included Essos and the parts of Sothoryos that we have seen through book 5.
The map is HUGE and in the process of creating it, I have apparently left some incomplete country artifacts.
When I attempt to load the map, it tells me there is a country with no connections. When I try to find it in the editor, I can't seem to locate it. I'm assuming it is a straight line somewhere and too small for me to see.
Any ideas for locating/deleting this country artifact?

(No problem. We're here to help any time.)
I should also tell you that there may be potential copyright issues that would prevent Sillysoft from distributing your map via the official plugin manager. The Tolkien estate is notoriously hardcore about enforcing restrictions on their intellectual property, therefore all Lord of the Rings inspired maps have been rejected. I'm not sure about GRRM's stance on fan produced Game of Thrones stuff though, or how Sillysoft would react to your submission. I guess there's only one way to find out, huh? If all things come to worst, then you and your online friends could still distribute and play the map privately.

Re: Making a map for Game of Thrones
bump.
So i figure if the names are changed and if its drawn by hand/off proportion it wont be copyright infringement..?
I spent two hours and drew out a version on paper, scanned and made a -rough- outline in photoshop with some boundaries and major cities, eg, Dragon Tooth (dragon stone), Kings Castle (Kings Landing), etc. i'll get a pic up soon- but you guys think that would be chillin?

Re: Making a map for Game of Thrones
You have to avoid copyright issues, I remember once I wanted to create a map for middle earth based on Lord of the rings but I couldn't…
careful.
