This may just be the best mod for any game. ever.

I'm taking a cartography class this quarter. Our third lab was to create a chloropleth map (one of those maps that shows data by coloring areas, like re/blue state maps during election years.) Because I'm a collossal nerd, I did one of the entire world.

Note that this is just a first draft. The final project (due in two weeks) is subject to modification.

This map was created from scratch in Adobe Illustrator from a blank page. I used screenshots of in-game maps to trace every line with the Illustrator pen tool.

You don't have to look too closely to notice both Sam and I as two of the folks hunkered over the pits in this video.

This was made before Cata, hence the confusion over the bosses (the makers assumed it would just be the old bosses buffed to heroic) But it's still clever.
