Chimpman’s Shimmering Lands, 8 miles per hex v2
Just a month after posting his first version of the Shimmering Lands 2300 BC map, John updated his map with a second version. There were two changes: a slightly tighter crop, trimming the edge of the Isle of Dawn that had been visible in the east; and more sculpted, less blocky glaciers in the southwest. His comment on The Piazza at the time:
Based on discussions in the Kogolor thread I went ahead and modified the glaciers here. They look a little less “blobby” although I’m not sure that they snake enough. I may go back and revise them some more later.
Otherwise, the map was much the same as the previous version. He would return for more significant additions before long.
