Hi res map of Cerilia recreated.

[Silmaril.SE]

We wanted a hi resolution map of Cerilia, but couldn't find any, so I recreated it from scratch - using a low resolution version as a base for accuracy. I've tried to keep it as true to the originals as possible, but with this many provinces, and places, I have no doubt there are some spelling mistakes and omissions.

If anyone spots any, let me know and I'll fix them! :)


Update Oct 24th 2020: Have removed old links and added V1.13 Jpeg and PSB
Version 1.13
-Fixed missing province, added scale image cleaned up some layers.


Photoshop PSB zip here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fO-dQshm5KRgHyLFgPbk1SYoSO9cqXcy/view?usp=sharing
(1.6 GB)
Jpeg (27417*18023) zip here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ujXoRnsiuW9kF5KnhXY0BVJRB2M-71px/view?usp=sharing (360Mb)



The full map is a 350Mb jpg at 27400x18000.



I can try and make the photoshop file available if any one wants it. I've tried to layer everything as much as I can to make it easy to change things to fit individual games. The only thing is, photoshop file is around the 5Gb mark!

Here's a 5% res version to give you an idea.

[Thelandrin]

That looks like it could be very nice in time!

[Vicente]

Looks awesome :O

[Arius Vistoon]

very nice, the quality is very better and if you did this with PS, means may be you can choose to remove all the name ti have a map nameless for player ?

i'm interested in the PS version.

good job.
One question : how many time did you spent on it ?

[Silmaril.SE]

Yep, all the various names are on separate layers. Due to an unfortunate accident, most of the province names are now rasterised on a single layer instead of individual objects - I almost cried when I realised what had happened. Manually typing out that many provinces is no small job. I tried to layer it in a way that makes it easy to add/remove countries (our game has some major border changes, and a new country)

It took about a week and a half of pretty solid work, but I think that's mainly because I was a bit of a PS novice when I started! There are certainly things I would redo, but just don't have the time at the moment.

I've managed to get the PS file uploaded to my dropbox. Its 4.3Gb(!) You can download it here (https://www.dropbox.com/s/s01exn7l4rx5n9r/Cerilia%20Map%20Original%20Large.psb). (PS version CS5)

Let me know what you think, and feel free to use it however you want. I'm not precious about these things. :)

[Arjan]

sweet map! :cool:

Thanks!

I did reply with a link to the Photoshop file download, but its awaiting mod approval.

Took about a week and a half, but then I was a complete PS noob when I started.

Edit:
And Dropbox have disabled the link to the PS download anyway :/ It really isn't easy giving access to a massive file.

[Vicente]

Skydrive should handle that I think, I have shared 800MB files there in the past.

i just go to look to your link and i saw that ;(

[Arjan]

just put it on my google drive.. will post link as soon as it is synced

[Silmaril.SE]

Managed, after some jiggling around of files, to get the 4.6 Gb Photoshop file up on my Google Drive.

Links to follow.

[Silmaril.SE]

Flat Jpeg file - full resoluion (~350Mb)

[Silmaril.SE]

Skydrive should handle that I think, I have shared 800MB files there in the past.

It wasnt happy with a 4 gig file. Apparently 2Gb is the file size limit on Sky drive.

And drop box threw a hissy fit after it was downloaded once, so google drive is the only option. Just hope it works! :)

[Arjan]

I edited the first post, moving the download links into it, also added a rar-ed version of the photoshop file.
compressed its "only" 1.5gb

[Silmaril.SE]

Thanks Arjan!

And oh my god, I feel so stupid. 20 years of working with computers, and the thought of zipping it never even occurred to me...

[Magian]

Arjan is a Jedi-ninja-master.

[Vicente]

Thanks a lot Arjan!

[vota dc]

Nice. A couple of countries have no capital signed or signed without the star (for example in Mhoried and Markazor) and Endier has no level.

[jaldaen]

Wow! Very nice map ;)

[TheChamberlain]

Pure quality.... ;)

[Andrea]

Great work Silmaril. Take a look at some names (Tuoe River/Tuor River; Chimerion/Chimaeron, etc)

PS: I sent you a PM.

[Forge42]

Could someone please post a jpeg version of this map without any of the province names? Basically, I just want a nice map that shows province outlines and geography. I don't have photoshop, otherwise I'd try to do it myself using layers.

[Magian]

I am looking at this map in Photoshop and it has many layers that I can turn on/off. Cities and Misc markers, Province names, Country Names, Cities and Places, River Names, Ocean Names, Borders (keeper for provinces), Landmass outline, Hills and Mountains, Mountain Color, Country Borders, Forrest Lines, and some of the main coloring for land, forest, oceans.

I figure you'd want something for a living campaign use and I'd advise to turn off the following but I'll let you decide since it is your request.

Cities and Misc Markers
Province Names
Country Names
Cities and Places (Names)
River Names
Country Borders

I figure these are all changeable in a campaign and easily added. Maybe you want ocean names out too.

I tried to upload a jpeg version of the map made with my recommended layers turned off, but the file is too big it said. Size: 37.3 MB, 17.4 MB in rar. I dunno man...

[Forge42]

Magian,

You would be a scholar and a gentleman if you could do this for me. I'm looking for a map that will support a campaign that I'm running that is a few hundred years in the future of cannon birthright.

So, I think I like all your recommended layers. To be clear, I would like to KEEP the borders for individual provinces, but, I don't need a heavier border for various kingdoms and such. I don't need any text (names of cities, provinces, etc).

As for sharing, perhaps try dropbox or google drive?

Thanks!

[Magian]

Which Map would you like? The smallest is 37.3 MB, 17.4 MB in rar file. It is still very big at this point.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/48697331/Cerilia%20Map%20Original%20Large%202.rar

If you want a larger one or changes let me know.

[Forge42]

That is actually perfect!!

Thank you so much!

[Magian]

Some of the marshlands don't have reeds in them, but they are at least outlined in light blue. May be hard to see.

[Gallinon]

I just discovered this thread while browsing for an editable/blank map.

The dropbox link for Magian's map won't display anything for me, and I think it would be perfect.

If anyone actually gets this message, can you reupload the map or send a working link to me?

Thank you so much! What I've seen so far (the original map) looks brilliant.

[arpig2]

The links in the first post work.

[ValdemarStor]

Gorgeous map indeed.

[Forge42]

Magian,

Due to some computer hi-jinks, I managed to lose the excellent custom map you made for me and uploaded to dropbox above.

Any change you still have it close to hand and could re-share? I intend to keep in in the cloud from now on.


Some of the marshlands don't have reeds in them, but they are at least outlined in light blue. May be hard to see.

[Magian]

It took me awhile to find it again. Sorry for the wait.

I'll keep it up for awhile, at least till you reply that you have it.

I have it in different sizes as well.

I have 37.3 mb (the linked one), 49.8mb, 83.9mb, and 146mb. Let me know if there is interest in others.

edit: apparently there are errors. I checked the link. Will edit this post when I get it to work.

Let me know if you can get it from this link.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/dmd0f6k6oox7g65/Cerilia%20Map%20Original%20Large%202.jpg

This link I am getting errors from this link, I'd have reupload the image, unless it is just my computer.

The first link works, the second does not.

[Yrk]

I know, I know this thread has been here for a long time.
But is there a chance that at least some of the many, many typos on it could be corrected?

[Silmaril.SE]

I know, I know this thread has been here for a long time.
But is there a chance that at least some of the many, many typos on it could be corrected?

Amazingly, yes there is. I don't have much time to do it these days so I'd need you to give me a list of all the typos like this: wrong - right, and I'll do them as I can.


Was just doing some housekeeping. Didn't realise the links weren't really working anymore. I've updated the first post, and copied the new links here:

10% size jpg(zip) - 5Mb just to get a feel for the map. (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByBUpAkiG87ha2JDc3JnTE9wVTQ/edit?usp=sharing)

[nickgreyden]

First I'd like to say this map is the greatest!!! I know this is an old thread but I'm hoping someone is still around updating it and getting info.

Also, I don't have PS, but my friend does and is having trouble opening the file in this list. Could someone grab it and varify it is still working and possibly any troubleshooting tips to get it to work on Win10. According to him, it locks up PS every time he tries to open it.

Edit : moved all corrections into one post and moved wording in original.

Edit 2: A couple of post down from here is one solid list if you just want to view the errata (and errata notes) and don't care to see it broken into chucks.

I've double checked this map with info from the wiki and the cannon map. These are the typos and omissions I've found so far. I've covered Dhoesone, Tuarhievel, The Gorgon's Crown, and all lands north of those.

*According to the orignal map and "Ruins of an Empire" sourcebook (pg 36), the correct spelling is as I have listed. The BRWiki, however, lists the name as it appears on the map.

**Once again the orignal map and "Ruins of an Empire" (pg 16) list the spelling which I gave while the name as it currently appears is what is listd in the BRWiki.

Next up is from Kiergard and Rohrmarch and all things west that haven't been covered.

*The original map has a hill that is obscured by the name that looks like the dividing line for a province. It is easy to see why that mistake was made.

Edit: Added explanation for Melyy Ghost province.

This one covers Berhagen, Molchev, Innishiere, Tarvan Waste, Aftane and all lands west that haven't been covered. Checking for the non-english accent marks was not done. Some of these may need them when correcting the spelling.

[nickgreyden]

I combined all the corrections into one post. Also, after covering what is probably over 4/5 of the map leaving only what is east of Berhagen, Molochev, Innishiere, Tarvan Waste, and Aftane and south of Rzhlev, The Mistmoor, Rovninodensk, and The Manticore I'm a little burned out and will most likely be taking a break from this. Let me know if this is helpful and if anyone updates the map. Would love a link to a corrected versions of both PS and jpeg!

Edit: Added more because I'm dumb :-( Almost finished so yay?

Edit 2: Finished it up.

[nickgreyden]

The following is all 127 (124?) errors and corrections given in a flowing manner for easier editing as it snakes its way across the map. I'm pretty confident I got all of the errors, but more eyes are always good. Hope someone can update this information and release the map again one day.

Soooo, long time coming :)

I've gotten around to updating the map. nickgreyden - I've gone through all your corrections: Unbelievable work! and I think I've gotten all of them. I completely redid all the province names, and took the chance to do some cleaning up.

V1.1 full res can be downloaded here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0ByBUpAkiG87hNzhKaHV2VGJuVnc

I've also added it to the Original Post.

[Retillin]

Great job. It looks amazing!

[evilRafael]

We wanted a hi resolution map of Cerilia, but couldn't find any, so I recreated it from scratch - using a low resolution version as a base for accuracy. I've tried to keep it as true to the originals as possible, but with this many provinces, and places, I have no doubt there are some spelling mistakes and omissions.

Dear sir, I was looking for a good, large Cerilia map, large enough to print large, but I wasn't prepared for this much awesomeness. This is the biggest and sharpest map of any RPG world out there. Birthright certainly deserves the treatment, but I raise my glass to you. Your work rocks!

[Magian]

Thanks for all the corrections.

[nickgreyden]

Goody goody GOODY!!!!

Downloading the new version now! Any way to get the PS version? I'd really like to have it for games so we can rename stuff now that I have a computer that I'm pretty sure can open it as soon as I can get my hands on a copy of Photoshop.

Speaking of, what version of PS did you use in the latest creation so I wont' have issues opening it?

[nickgreyden]

Edit: Found a few more
Edit 2: Found interesting information

So I combed over the new version (rather quickly I have to admit) and only found a few errors and issues. Here is the complete list of 9 errors and 3 legibility issues ... drastically fewer than 123 lol.

LLuabraight - Sidehebryn R. - Sidhebyrn R.
Alamie - River Maeid - River Maesil
Ilien - Adlelq R. - Adele R.
Khourane - South Ibnahoume - South Ibnoume
Rhuannauch - the Garradhhalach - the Garradhalach
the Siren - Port Helen - is an island [1]
the Siren - unnamed southern isle - Gigha 2/5
the Siren - unnamed southern forested isle - Dantier Island 1/6
Hjolvar - unammed northern isle - Svinov Island 1/6

[1] See this (http://www.birthright.net/forums/showwiki.php?title=Image:sirensrealm.jpg) link.

The following are difficult to read and need better/different blurred colors on the background on all or part of the name or just need their position on the map adjusted a bit.

Sword Rust Tribes (especially the "s" in sword)
Yeninskiy - city of Vstaive - straddles a province border making it difficult to read
Merasaf (especially the "f")

Things I would like to see added are a legend and a scale. While your map doesn't exactly scale with the released cannon, it does so well enough that I think I calculated that if you travel lengthwise as the crow flies from one shore to the other (tip of the Siren's peninsula to eastern isle of Zoloskaya) you are off by less than 10 miles and the total distance is roughly 1400 miles. Losing 1 mile for every 140 ain't shabby.. and that is if I got the scale right which it is totally possible I didn't.

Finally and most importantly thank you so so much for all the work that went into this map! It is amazing and I'm so glad you came back to go through all the errors found to make it better. It is a wonderful resource that has been and will be used.

In case Silmaril is out of time, those can be done easily over the large jpg. Not ideal, but should stand with minimal loss until he returns. All I need to know is what font was used.

[nickgreyden]

Indeed, the work he has done has made this map the one of choice for me. I will continue to update my above post if I find more wrong (as I just have) but most of what I've found is more annoyance than anything else. What I'd like to see and legibility issues are minor inconveniences at most. The unnamed stuff is, by far, the biggest concern for me :-)

[Fizz]

This is really excellent work. Thanks much for the contribution!

[Silmaril.SE]

Think I've made those corrections. Couldn't find a good solution to the legibility of Vstaive, so moved the name. Not in keeping with the original, but I think thats okay in this situation.

As for the other questions from you nickgreyden and evilRafael:

The font I'm using is called Minister Std. You should be able to find it for free with some googling. Don't think its the official Birthright font, but the closest I could find for free, and damn near identical.

Latest version is saved in PS Creative Commons 2017, I haven't saved it in max compatability as it makes the file over 4Gb.

Performance wise, to give you an idea, I'm running an I7 6400K with 32Gb of Ram and a 950 pro SSD, and performance with the map is sluggish at best! This is probably because I don't really know what I'm doing with Photoshop, but at least it works!

Pretty sweet. Downloading the newest version now. Sounds like I'm running the same setup as you with a GTX 1070 for the video card so hopefully I can get it open. Curious what version of Photoshop you are using?

Thanks for the updated map though. It is great you continue to revisit it.

[Silmaril.SE]

Did I forget to say? its the latest creative commons version, 2017. I'm just happy its still getting some interest after all this time!

Also, would like to say that this is completely open. I have no problems with anyone using it for anything in any way they wish. Attributing would be nice, but by no means needed :)

[AndrewTall]

Thank you for your work on the map Silmaril, much appreciated.

You are a gentleman and scholar sir. Downloading the latest awesomefest. :D

[Kell]

Wow...1 GB.

I don't have room on my computer I don't think. lol

I did download the JPG though...my games just got better. Thank you so much!

[Kell]

Can anyone be so kind as to create a blank map with only the province borders and terrain of this amazing work using Photshop? My computer simply can't handle even opening the file to do the work.

I tried the other links, but none seem to work.

Thank you so much if you are able!

[Silmaril.SE]

I do check this thread every so often. Don't have as much time these days, but I'll see what I can do.

I'll check on the other links and see if I can fix any broken ones. I'll post back :)

Let me know if that is what you were after Kell.

[Kell]

Amazing! Thank you so much! This will improve my game experience a million times over to say the least!

Is it layered so that you can turn off the national borders as well?

I really need to get a better computer I guess lol

What I didn't put to words well enough I guess...I have always dreamed of a map that had all the provincial boundaries, but no text or national boundaries at all...only the provinces and the terrain.

It would make it so sweet to be able to play a game set in any era of Cerilia; from the days of Empire to right after the fall of the empire and so on.

Again, thank you so very much for this map work...it is simply put amazing!

[Silmaril.SE]

Realised I was using an older version of the base map! (some of the marshland was on the wrong layer)

Here is what you're after. Only terrain and province boundaries.

There are numerous layers. Now that I look at it again, it could do with a decent bit of cleaning up and organizing the layers properly. If I get to it, I'll update the first post.

[Kell]

I won't tell my wife...but I am pretty sure you are my favorite person on the planet right now!

Thank you so much for this!!!

[Silmaril.SE]

I'm just glad there are people still interested in it!

[oximoron]

Hey amazing map, I love it to bits

Just noticed a missing province in the 1.12 map

Khurin-Azur the dwarfen realm above the Gorgon is a 3 realm domain, the map in Rjurik Highlands has a more accurate province layout (page 47).

It is called Azagkhul and is a 1/6 province (and there seems to be some smudge on the map there, covers the peak of one mountain, the border of the lake)

[Silmaril.SE]

Good catch. The smudge would have been the background layer for the text, but no idea what happened to the text itself. Added in the missing border for it as well.

Updated the original post with new 1.13 links.

[oximoron]

Awesome

I have an older version of the map and can indeed see that the province was named but not marked with a province line in an earlier version.

[Fizz]

So, when i follow the link, the page has "Cerilia Map v1.13.jpg.zip" in the top left, and there is a message in the center saying:
"Couldn't preview file. There was a problem with the network. Retrying",
and a button to download.

I hit download and it opens a new window and says

"Google Drive can't scan this file for viruses.
Cerilia Map v1.13.jpg.zip (290M) is too large for Google to scan for viruses. Would you still like to download this file?"

If i try to download again the page just refreshes, and i can't get it to download.

What am i doing wrong?

Is it anti-tracking add-ons or settings for your browser?

I don't have any anti-tracking add-ons, but do have an ad-blocker. I disabled the ad-blocker, and made sure all my browser settings weren't blocking anything. Unfortunately, the behavior is the same.

Have you tried a different browser?

I've tested in Chrome and Edge, and can download without issue, so I don't think the problem is with the upload :/

I'm using the latest version of Firefox. Oddly, i am able to get it from Firefox on a Win10 machine, but it does't want to download on my primary Linux machine.

So i agree, i don't think there is an issue on the upload side- there must be some configuration in my Firefox that is preventing it. Just haven't figured it out yet.

Also on Firefox on Windows here, works fine on my end.

[evilRafael]

This work is brilliant.

If I may critique anything, most names that are on top of forests have a green glow that makes them easier to read, but those that don't have are hard to read. That applies to domains and towns in Talinie, Thurazor, Mhoried, Dhoesone, Tuarhievel, Hogunmark, Hjolvar, Urga-Zai, and maybe others, those are the ones I spotted.

Anyway, keep it up, this has always been the best map available.

[Silmaril.SE]

Those should be simple enough to fix. If I have time will also try and neaten up some of the background masks for the country name masks.

And thanks!

Update Oct 24th 2020: Have removed old links and added V1.13 Jpeg and PSB
Version 1.13
-Fixed missing province, added scale image cleaned up some layers.


Photoshop PSB zip here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fO-dQshm5KRgHyLFgPbk1SYoSO9cqXcy/view?usp=sharing
(1.6 GB)
Jpeg (27417*18023) zip here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ujXoRnsiuW9kF5KnhXY0BVJRB2M-71px/view?usp=sharing (360Mb)



The full map is a 350Mb jpg at 27400x18000.



I can try and make the photoshop file available if any one wants it. I've tried to layer everything as much as I can to make it easy to change things to fit individual games. The only thing is, photoshop file is around the 5Gb mark!

Here's a 5% res version to give you an idea.

Now if only we could get this in editable format so we can adjust province/source ratings that would be a Godsend. One can dream. Awesome map!

[Athrasis]

Hello! First of all an immense thank you for all the work you've put into this map.

I am trying to make a few alterations for a game that is starting up and have run into an issue. I see you have shown the forets by having a North and South layer, and respective masks over them. But when I import the PSB it only shows the South one. For the north, it seems as if the (seperate?) pixel layer does not show.

I am using Affinity but I have not had this issue with a PSB file before (in my rare work). Admittedly I have not worked with anything like this in a long time, but to me it seems as if it is simply not loading.

[Silmaril.SE]

Hi Athrasis.

Glad you like the map!

Not familiar with Affinity, and to be honest, its been a looooong while since I've looked at the map. It seems that the Northern forests were done in a different way to the southern. They're a pattern fill with a mask, instead of a pixel layer (I was learning and trying a lot of different things at the time!), and I'm guessing that's what Affinity is having an issue with.

I've uploaded the pattern (link here (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jF92xrmTj6Yrp8a2jpp6aPTYS-uSVig4/view?usp=sharing)) See if you can get anywhere with that. If not, I'll see about converting it to a pixel layer, and uploading a 1.14 version.

Aha! That explains the difference, and yes, very likely what Affinity will have the issue with on the import. I have been trying to see how you did things this weekend, picking apart the layers. It seemed to me that you were experimenting as you went, which was actually good for me as I have not touched PS or Illustrator in a long time. It gets me discovering again.

And figuring out how Affinity works as well. It is a one time pay suite with three options right now: photo/design/publisher. For photos I am also trying Luminar (which is absolutely amazing in ease of use, with the AI assistance.)
With Affinity Photo or Affinity Design, opening the PSB took about 5 minutes. But now I have resaved it to Affinity's own extension it takes 6 seconds and the file size is 1.9GB instead of 3.5GB+

On the map, I am making a Editable PDF for a Rjurik Highlands game. I decided to not use the southern trees and some of the colouring to cover them either, as I wanted to continue.
As the province names and levels were all one pixel layer, I had to remove that one and I manually placed all the province names in the Highlands, and grouped them per kingdom. Perhaps at a later date I can continue with the rest, but it's a huge continent.

You are véry welcome for the pattern, I will try and apply it to my main file and see it it works! That will be good for future use, or if I make a 2.0. (As I júst finished placing all the editable spots.)

I very much appreciate all the work you put into the original file!

[Silmaril.SE]

I very much appreciate all the work you put into the original file!

No probs! It was actually a lot of fun to do. There's still a lot that could be improved, but don't really have the time any more - and I think I've forgotten over half of what I did.

In case you were wondering, the font to use is Minister Std Book, which you should be able to find for free with a google search.


Let me know if you have any other questions! I do keep an eye on this thread.
