Ignore Zen. Work, darn you, work! (sound of cracking whip) Slacker! What's taking you so long? People working for free just isn't what it used to be ...  |

Re: Seeking map or need advice on making it
I like that. Looks good. Not bare dirt but subtle plant work. Keep in mind that the castle, temples, flags will all appear on top of these. What you are working on is beautiful but while the game is in play they are basically background.

Re: Seeking map or need advice on making it
Well, in closing for the night I'll just let you be the judge. Here's a comparison shot of a section of my map, and a section or Orania (barren areas):

I don't think I'm going to get carried away trying to spruce it up. One of the difficulties I find myself facing is that I don't want to leave any provinces with nothing in them other than a slight bit of shading, but I have to keep telling myself that I can't fill every province with eye candy. |

I don't mind some plain looking areas. Looks cleaner to me. |

Re: Seeking map or need advice on making it
Can we see the comparison as it would look in the game? With flag, castle, temple, army square, neighboring grey flags.
Its up to you. If you want it playable, or prettier on the download screen. As a proud artist maybe a prettier more artistic map is a better choice.
