Wow. Fantastic work. I am going to guess that is the ferry to Vestmannaeyjar.

I can't believe how beautiful Iceland is on these screenshots.

But I'd like for more of it to be green - that's the entire beauty of the Icelandic landscape.

When I told the devs I wanted to start mapmaking, they jokingly said "well, you wanted to do Iceland xD". And so it happened. Since Iceland is an island, it's a good project for someone who just started mapmaking. I'm new with the editor, but after a weekend of playing with some stuff there, it seems I'm picking it up rather quickly.

Planned towns:

• Reykjavík: City (released)
• Akureyri: City (released)
• Reyðarfjörður (previously Fjarðabyggð): City (released)
• Seyðisfjörður: Ferry point from/to Hirtshals (released)
• Keflavík International Airport: City (released)
• Höfn: Tiny town with gas station & 1 farm (released)
• Vík: Tiny town with gas station & service station (released)
• Blönduós: Small town with gas station, service station and hotel (released)
• Ólafsvík (planned)
• Ísafjörður (planned)
• Akranes (in development)

Now I know you all have only one question: When is Iceland ready?
The only answer I can give you: I have no idea.

I'll keep you informed of any progress. Any constructive feedback is appreciated. I'm working closely with the other developers.

I'm keeping a Google Maps map for planning, brainstorming, information keeping, etcetera. I'll keep updating this map, but nothing on this map should be considered final. As for my color coding;

• Red is the main road and the biggest town. It'll make little sense to make Iceland without these. I'll probably include this stuff, one way or another.
• Black are secondary roads I currently plan to include, and any industries or other facilities. This will likely change, but is my current plan of action.
• Yellow is anything that could be taken into consideration. I'll leave the options open for these. I may build crossings so it's possible to connect a road later, for example. But it's very well possible these things will never be made.
• Blue is the (planned) snowline. Anything north of this line will be snowy, anything south will be grassy.

I can't believe how beautiful Iceland is on these screenshots.

But I'd like for more of it to be green - that's the entire beauty of the Icelandic landscape.

Eh... How about Greenland?

EDIT:

since there's barely any interior roads and I think only (two cities?) are even connected by road anyway.

Do i need to say Svalbard?

Only to Nuuk, nowhere else

[MistahDave]

People's fascination with Greenland needs to stop, it would be only exciting to visit for the 1st time since there's barely any interior roads and I think only (two cities?) are even connected by road anyway.
