Mapmaking / help wanted

[linlin]

What program do you use for drawing the maps?

And, if one may ask, would be willing to share possible graphics components?

I begin with a hand drawing of the general shape, then work on it with photoshop and/or illustrator.. i collected a nice set of brushes for mountains, trees, and so..

you can find a lot of these brushes, and many amazing tutorials for map drawing in this forum: (it's from there that i get a lot of my inspiration..)

It has a preference for certain terrains matching certain nations. Maybe it cant find a swamp for ctis?
Im not sure if thats a crashing offense but its all I can think of so far

in fact it was the non-existant water province with random aquatic nations.. but thank you anyway
