Agathokles’ Cruth Lowlands, 2.7 miles per hex
Having already created maps for Northeastern Karameikos, Vandevicsny Area, Achelos River and Karameikos as a whole, Giampaolo returned to the Cruth Lowlands area for an even more extensive project. He shared the first version of this new map in March 2012, with a few updates in the following days (as outlined in his thread at The Piazza). It especially builds on his Achelos River map, redrawing the area while incorporating most of that map’s details.
For a scale, this time he chose 2.7 miles per hex, a popular scale for fan-made maps since it involves the same zoom ratio from 8 to 2.7 mile hexes as the jump from 24 to 8.
As a bonus, Giampaolo also produced a players’ map in black and white, included below, as well as a political map of the area. He included all of these maps in his PDF Lords of the Cruth Lowlands, published a few months later.
