Essos Total War
Essos TW is a project started by myself (Korpskog) & Lakritstroll with purpose to provide an alternative option to Westeros TW. The map itself is still under contruction but we feel like we are aproaching a state were we actually dare to show it to anybody. The map is made from scratch by us and are inspired by The Lands of Ice and Fire maps that were released earlier this year. It contains the landmass from The Free Cities (Braavos, Pentos Etc) to The Red Waste and The Dortraki Sea with surounding islands like Ibben and Lys.

The mod is featuring:
* All named settlements in Essos
* Some Vanilla-factions added to represent future factions: Braavos, Myr, Pentos, Norvos, Lorath, Qohor, Tyrosh, Lys, Volantis, Ghiscari, Qarth, Dothraki and Ibbanese (more might come)
* New map textures
* New City strat-models
* Some new UI and 2D-Art

To keep this project going we have decided to upload the progress made so far as a public resource. Even if you are strictly interested in consulting to improve this huge project I suggest you take contact with the Essos TW Development Group: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/group.php?groupid=2111 At the moment the group is made up by 10 members who have contributed to this release, we feel that the project needs to be revived and that the best way to do it is by inviting new members!

The only important thing is that you show respect towards the other members, the group will be moderated by me until somebody else steps up and take up the position as teamleader.

why did you blur the edges of one color to the next? in mapping you have very specific color codes, if the code is changed in the slightest by even 1 point you will receive a bug...your entire map of all categories are like that...was that intentional or not? thanks anyway, its a start at least if I ever do map some parts of essos I'll use this as base...but there is a lot of correcting i got to do though....

embarrassing

Im just getting to know the GIMP so thats why, to be clear it was not intentional Also before someone points it out there is two rivers missing in the eastern part of the map!

just had a look now and it is very much a base but still awesome korpgskog!

[MagUidir]

well i say good job for at least trying your hand at it! + rep my friend.

[Korpskog]

Thank you! Essos could be a awesome mod but it feels like we lack necessary information when it comes to creating factions, family tree's, generals and such. For example: Who really knows anything about Norvos or Lorath? In my opinion the prefect campaign begins in the middle of ADWD with Meereen as a single Targaryen region surrounded by Ghiscari slavers, wise masters, backstabbing sons of the harpy and much more! Also a emerging Ironborn fleet and Tyrion with the second sons

That map you used t base it off is pretty bad imo
Here is the GRRM certified offical map:

what the hell is sothoros? never heard that mentioned

[Noobio]

that is a very nice map! is that a preview from the world-book ?

i thought summer isles and ibben were a lot nearer, though..

Here is the GRRM certified offical map:

I have to admit that one look's way better! I thought Ibben was far away, with the official one it would be possible to ad it to the game! Also the river that goes thru the Dothraki sea adds a new strategic dimension to the campaign!

compliments on your newly started modding quest

one small note..maybe it would be better if those 4 central "blue" regions were not divided in a square way ..it feels a bit unnatural to have em divided in such a "geometrical" way (like texas )

Thank you Noobas, I will pull essos of myself and become the terminator of modding.....not
Those Dothraki regions were the last thing I did, really i felt like one simply would not do and my imagination were running low.

Well done on picking this thing up again mate, my pc went kaput so i can not longer do any modding so im glad your continuing with this idea

Certified in the sense that it's based on the GRRM-approved HBO map, although he has changed some stuff along the eastern edge of it for the forthcoming map book.

Sothoryos is the southern continent. It's on the maps in ASoS and ADWD, south of Valyria and Slaver's Bay. It's mentioned a few times in ADWD as a source of plagues and slaves. It's basically GRRM's take on Africa.

not to nitpick, but they named the ruined city of Valyria: "Volantis," for some reason.
