Recently, Katerei asked if I would mind stitching together an in-game view of Land King Hall (available here). I was inspired by the project and decided to create a complete map of Cythera as seen in the game.

Posted Image

That is a heavily, heavily compressed JPEG of the finished map. The image is too small to zoom in very far. If you'd like to see the full-resolution JPEG, go here. Photobucket refused to let me upload it, so I had to put it on my student site. Note that the image may take a moment to load since it is around 3 MB.

For those of you who can't stand the lossy JPEG compression, I have a full-quality PNG version of the map, but it is huge. Go here to see the full-quality map. It is about 17.6 MB and will take some time to load, so please be prepared to wait!

All in all, it was a very interesting project. It gave me a better perspective of the placement of things in the game that I hadn't gotten from playing it. See if you can find the titans ;) (sadly, there were no unicorns about when I took the screenshots, but most of the other creatures are there)

That is an utterly awesome map, but I suggest you put an even smaller thumbnail in the post, I’m getting some nasty horizontal scrollbars while it loads.

Other than that, excellent work!

EDIT: I noticed you got the trio of ruffians between the volcano and the swamp in formation. Nice.

Asps?

Anyway, cool map, that looks like it took considerable effort ^_^ I'm not sure how you have time to do that, but not to visit with us in the channel, but that's okay.
I'll become even more undignified than this

Alternately, if you are interested in a full-size, full-quality version of the map that's easy to view, try this.

Nice jobs, Wizard and Pallas smile.gif .

At some point soon, I hope to use this map and the others made for DM to update the maps section in Slayer's Guide.
Long Live Cythera! Long Live the Cythera Web Board!

I now run a TS Character Killing Service.

Thank you so very much for doing that; I was at a loss for finding a convenient, fast way to view the map. :)

And Buzzzzy, I edited the first post for a smaller image. The scrollbars should be gone now. Incidentally, I don't like the forum update very well, it breaks all of the links and smilies in a post as soon as you edit it. . . (not to mention all the old quote tags being broken or for that matter, special characters like this é; I think smart quotes have been broken on old posts, too)

Buzzzzy, you are truly amazing! I didn't think anyone would take the time to look for the asps; I didn't even know where they were in that map. :D

I was waiting for Mac OS 8 to install on Sheepshaver, I don’t actually have that much time on my hands. ;)
