Even though I have had CC for years I have never really used it. So I decided to buy a PC and start learning CC3+. This started out as a map for someone at work. It did not fit their current campaign world, so I decided to keep working on it while I'm waiting on more information about their game world.
The idea was the Orcish hoard was invading to the south so I tried to show the destruction of the land as the hoard moved south. The pollution/corruption of the rivers and the darkness that was over taking the land. I thought the Darklands theme as a good representation of what I was try to portray.
Please let me know what you think and how to improve things.

That's a pretty cool map :)
The only suggestion I have is to activate the Blend Mode on the FOREST SHADOWS sheet, and set it up a bit like this. That should prevent the shadow patch under the woodlands dominating the woodland areas so much. Here is a before and after jungle woodland.
I also doubled the blur from 10 to 20 between those two shots.
There is still a shadow, but it doesn't stand out quite so much.
Thank You Sue.
Here are the results. Much better the road is now visable through the forest
Although if you wanted to make the woods look especially dark and threatening, leaving Blend Mode off might be something to consider in future (you'd have to set up a separate Sheet if you also wanted to retain the "normal" forest look elsewhere, of course).
