Here's are some simple templates for anyone looking to make a Map Production thread but can't figure out an interesting way to convey information about their map.
As a side note, screenshots are a big part of Production threads. Adding screenshots usually shows that your map is well under way, not just another spur-of-the-moment idea for a map which may never see day light in reality. In short, screenshots can mean the difference between a topic that gets attention and one that gets none. Don't just get a picture of a minimap view of the terrain, either; use the PrintScreen key to get some good shots of actual gameplay when you're testing out your map.
