A Philippines Hex Map
Following up on my last post about a Southeast Asia hex map for my upcoming Mangayaw campaign, this is another quick post to share a second hex map I made specifically for the Philippines. While I expect them to travel all around Island Southeast Asia in the campaign eventually, we'll at least be starting in the Philippines, and I wanted to have something more detailed there.
This one is using a 1749 map, which is after the time period for the game in the 1500s, but still has the right feel and was easily available in a high quality image. I've gone with approximately 10 mile hexes for this one, again eyeballing it by how many fit in a degree of latitude. While it's far from precise, I was surprised by the relative accuracy when I checked it. A section of northern Luzon that measures 140 miles based on the hexes is around 132 miles based on google maps, which isn't too bad for the level of accuracy needed from a hex map for a game like this.
Check the older post for the methods of how to do this if you want to do it yourself. And grab the full resolution image here if you can't get it from this post.
