"Forgotten Realms" Style Mapmaking in CC3

Andreus

Hi, just got CC3 and have been playing around a bit - haven't really been able to get anywhere yet, but I'm sure I'll work it out eventually. I'd like to make a map like the "Forgotten Realms" style maps that are displayed in this gallery picture and I've been doing a bit of digging but I can't seem to find any tutorials or guides on how to do this. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to do this?

Thanks in advance.

This style is the topic of the February issue of the 2009 Annual

Apart from that, there is some FR style mapping in the Tome of Ultimate mapping, covering just that map (An older version of it though, the image you linked to is the new updated CC3 version, while the Tome describe the older CC2 version)
