How to build a fantasy map ... ?
5 years ago
General
It is possible that my english is a little broken. Be indulgent please. It's through interactions that I'm going to improve myself This journal is going to be a little more serious, for those who know me for my side a little more hyperactive and very friendly.
I've been torturing my mind for a while now ... Part of my ambition is to create a big map.
That basically in the idea would be a kind of fanmade pokemon mystery dongeon maybe a more mature universe.
The original cards of the games I saw caused me problems. Because in fact it was designed for gameplay simply especially with the dungeons.
What I would like ... it's a world a little more open a bit like the skyrim, see maybe bigger which is not focused only on the dungeons. The size of a planet.
The only thing is that I start from scratch, I have no skills and I do not know precisely the specific steps 1 by 1 to do. Especially since I tend to be a little distracted sometime ...
If anyone has advice to give, I am interested. I usually tend to keep everything in my head but it seems so big that I just need to be helped a little.
Even if I have no answer, I will try to do it all by myself, especially that for once I want to finish for once a big project.

Do you like fusions/mergers?

1) Figure out your continents of the world
2) Figure out what the terrain should be for each continent and how it's spread out
3) Create regions/countries/territories (working off the terrain to make nature borders will help)
4) Figure out where the major city/cities might be for the countries
5) Mark a few key locations you know you might want (ruins, places of power, evil forests, etc)
6) Mark a few towns/villages, some in proximity or away from the above
From there you can maybe start looking into flora and fauna of the world as well as inhabitants. But the above might help get your head in the right space.
Hope that helps.
