The client asked to design a map for a board game related to pirates and farmers.
Overall theme: The late 17th and early 18th centuries, in the Caribbean. So tropical vibe as basis one could think of the "Golden Age of Piracy".
Main island general layout: The main island consist out of beach, jungle and large lighthouse. From the lighthouse, a small light in shine in each direction of the five islands.
Island one – Pioneers – Rough, Town for example build out of ship wrecks.
Island two – Pioneers to Settlement – A little less rough but not a formal city yet; more like a ‘pirate hide out’
Island three – Settlement – A farmers town with wooden houses etc.
Island four – Commodity – a Caribbean city with brick houses etc.
The fifth island has two towns (Commodity and Pioneers):
One really formal town with fortress, houses etc on side of the island
One rough town on the other side of the island, which reassemble island 1 but smaller.
