This pdf is 6 pages long, 1 page front cover, 1 page editorial, 1 page advertisement, leaving 3 pages - so let's check this out!
This being a mini-map pack, the first page contains the full-color main-map, including settlements and woods. The second has colored borders of respective power-blocks added.
The pdf also includes a page of general information on the World of Torn. The pdf comes with a high-res jpeg of the region as well.
Conclusion:
Editing and formatting are top-notch in the one page of content. The maps per se are beautiful and extremely affordable, but not perfect due to two facts: When e.g. compared to Jonathan Robert's Fantastic Maps-line, they lack additional versions with grids. It is also readily apparent that the maps have been created on the PC, feeling less organic than hand-drawn maps. My most major gripe, though, would be that zooming in/printing out the maps will always have you still see the borders of the pixels in the font used for the region-names - if you zoom in, you'll also see pixels on the colored respective areas of influence. Personally, for me this is a deal-breaker and I was rather disappointed when printing out the file and seeing that. If you're like me regarding this, steer clear, this is not meant for you and 1 star - which the pack does not deserve - for an extremely low price, you get a nice piece of cartography and if you don't mind the pixel-problem, this is a solid, 3-star map pack. For my final verdict I'll settle on 2.5 stars, rounded up to 3 for the purpose of this platform due to the low price.
Endzeitgeist out.
