Oh good grief!
What is the POINT of producing maps that fit together IF THE TERRAIN FEATURES DON'T MATCH!
I've just looked at linking maps 1, 2 and 3 of the WL - the coastlines match pretty accurately, but why do the forests not match? Why does map 2 start a road - that doesn't appear on map 3?
I haven't even looked at north-south linkup yet, only east-west.
What is the point of a coherent campaign spanning 18 maps - if you can't put the maps side by side, or even slightly overlap?
Has no one ever noticed this before?
This problem would have be SO easy to avoid.
Aargghh!
There, I feel better now.
Edit: You can see the sort of thing I'm talking about here, where someone has had the maps printed onto card and laid them out.
Second photo, 3rd sheet down on the left - look at how it matches with the sheet above it - the river matches, but the forests don't.
Then look at the sheet next to it, it doesn't match with either the sheet above or the sheet to the right - the coastline mostly matches, but the forests and even the river don't. Sloppy.
