Harn Regional Maps - Discussion

Why does a link to avchat.net appear in grid B8 in the English Geography layer in (my copy of) the PDF. It certainly detracts from the overall impression of this beautiful map. Surely, this must be a mistake.

I hadn't noticed that until you pointed it out Gavigan. Mine's the same. :(

Interesting. My version does NOT have it. Clearly this is a mistake. Working on fix now.

Mine has it too.

The English Geog layer was the last thing done on the PDF and probably an accidental Paste action dropped something in there that didn't get caught in the last proof checking.

I'm sure Jeremy will fix it and provide a replacement as soon as he learns of it. However, it's still early in NZ and he probably won't be checking his computer for another hour or so.

Or else I guess Ken will take care of it.

We'll get it updated as soon as we can. It will mean another download for you folks of course, but that's all. For those curious, the Printed map is not so afflicted.

Cheers,

The mistake on the ELECTRONIC regional map of Harn has been corrected. If you have an odd bit of text in the B8 quadrant of your map, please redownload the product.

Thank you.

Ken

Got the fixed version. Looks good.

Note to others who need to re-download. Click on "My account" at left, then "Files" at top".

I just got it and it looks good. The only issue I have is the fact there is no coast outline which makes printing a b/w version a bit of a problem. You have the option of turning off the mountains and vegetation but doing so is a bit useless with out a line drawing of the coastline.

But other than that it is really good thanks.

Mr Sconley - thanks for that feedback. Its an interesting idea, and we will look into it for future updates.

Regards

Jeremy

Hi.
I've known about Hârn for a long time but only decided to take the plunge and purchase HârnWorld, Cities of Hârn (from a used item website), Kingdom of Kanday, Tournament Supplement, etc. I just HAD to have this map. Fantastic.

You might want to consider the following map setting if you don't want to destroy your color printer. Turn "Vegetation & Relief" off, turn "Tribal Ranges TR720" on and "Political TR720 Peripheries" on. You won't get black and white, but you will get a nice, pastel colored map that will probabaly print reasonably well in B&W. Until the folks at Kelestia can get the boundaries in, this is probably your best work-around solution.

Best Regards,

I did not notice earlier, but if you use the suggested setting from previous post, a couple of areas will "disappear" from your map:
1) Mirath Islands
2) Afarazir Islands (this is probably biggest problem)
3) The islands inside Lake Benath
4) Chera Islands (Southwest corner of map.
5) Gyzem and Shata Islands (south edge of map)
6) Keron, Teben and Gai Islands (in Garvin Bay)
There may be more but these were the most obvious.
So -- not a perfect solution, but still gets you part of the way there...

I have always understood that the water courses marked on the earlier maps were not to scale, would this still be true of the new map of Harn? Or has the detail extended to mapping them more accurately.
Thanks

Hi,

I've purchased the map, in PDF, because I'de like to print sections of what I'm going to need during play.

While the quality of the work is exceptional, I haven't found a way to display "minor" settlements.

For example cities like Phira, etc., are out of the way.
I found this odd, and the usefulness of the product is greatly hampered, at least for my needs.

While I'm not interested in seeing every manor, minor settlements could be very useful.
Especially the salt way, in Tharda dominions, is "blank" of features.

If I'm wrong, and these settlements are "visible", can you explain how?

Thanks.

Watercourses, roads, settlement markers, none of these things can (generally) be scaled correctly on maps of this scale. Some of the very wide rivers perhaps, but not the others.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean here. Cities, Castles, and Keeps are displayed on the regional map, and this includes Phira.

Ken, I think he's complaining that since only "major" locations (i.e, cities, castles and keeps) are marked, there are areas of the map, even settled areas, that don't have much in the way of settlements marked.

The Hârn Interactive Map is the same scale as the original, printed, regional map of Hârn.

The Hârn Interactive map shows cities, castles, keeps and a few other key sites such as religious establishments, forts and ruins. It does not show individual manors - but it was not intended to at this scale. It is is a "regional" scale map, not a "kingdom" or "atlas" scale map.

Regards

Jeremy
