Emer III Map Issue
« on: June 09, 2014, 11:49:29 AM »
I read in a post somewhere by Mr. Amthor  that the hardcopy version of Emer III had some printed map issues (they weren't printing correctly, bleed over, or something along those lines). First, has this been corrected? If so, and if I were to order the hardcover edition today, the maps would be correct?

Thanks,

--Desty

Terry has sent me a corrected interior proof which I need to upload and let progress through the OBS/LS process. So not yet.

Best wishes,
Nicholas

Okay. If you would, please let us know when it is safe to order the hardcopy.

Thanks so much,

So, just to be clear, if one were to order the printed version right now, the received product would be free of the map problems that Destyar asked about, correct?

Yes, I got a proof copy and the labels all knock out of the background as they should.

Actually, the PDF was always fine, but if you only ordered a hardcopy, I posted a High-res PDF of just the map pages. Here it is again.

Those two maps were actually done by Craig John, I believe in PhotoShop, but he'll hopefully correct me if I am wrong. Older maps were done using various methods, though most of the oldest maps were done by hand and scanned.

Hi shanarakthefair,

The large Emer maps were indeed created in Photoshop. There'll be Jaiman soon I hope (and other continents will ultimately follow). :)

One last map question for Emer III, what are the elevations of the contour lines?
