Recreating the Map of Chiron from Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri

A seasoned cartographer spent years meticulously recreating the map of Chiron, the planet from Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, using in-game data. He painstakingly extracted elevation, rainfall, and other attributes from the original low-resolution game map, then leveraged GIS and Photoshop techniques to generate a high-resolution, realistic depiction of the planet's terrain. The project involved overcoming numerous technical hurdles, from data acquisition and projection adjustments to the final rendering, showcasing the cartographer's skill and dedication to detail. The resulting map is a testament to both the game's enduring legacy and the artistry of meticulous mapmaking.
