So this is the new Andelar. I had to retink my design a bit. This map is isn't finished, so I would enjoy advise, suggestions, comments.

I am still working on my settlements, ruins, and stuff. I may have to tweak my terrain fades a bit more, and of course I don't have my text labels or anything. But I would definately appreaciate comments on this one.

    Looking good. I'd make the rivers a bit more visible I think.

    Regarding text labels, they can bring a lot to a map, but make sure you don't put too many. Don't try to name every mountain and river and forest, just go for sea names and region names for example.

    Oh, I am not naming any of the mountain ranges or forests or anything on the map. That comes out in game play. All it will have is the water ways, and a number key.

    As for the rivers... How do I widen them?

    I'm no expert, but if you create a new river tool or edit the default one, you should be able to adjust the width. I didn't necessarily mean that your rivers should be wider though, just more visible - maybe use a slightly darker blue, or add a little contour on the rivers, I don't know. As usual, I have suggestions but no solutions :D

    I think I might try for a little darker blue... If I can figure out how! I think I would have to change the color in the river tool, maybe... Or perhaps give them an inner glow? Oh, I hope you will check out my other map, in the Larysia cont'd thread...I would like to hear your thoughts there.

    If you are using bitmap fills for rivers, just use a different bitmap fill.

    You might check these bitmap fills I'm hosting:

    Natalya Faden's Oljan maps and textures three zip files, some duplication.

    Those maps look really nice! And I actually figured out a solution for my rivers... I will post the upgrade tomorrow, when I can get somewhere with wifi ( I am actually on my phone right now). I did an inner glow in a darker blue... It had a side effect that's really cool! At least to me, anyway :)

    So here is my 'completed' map of Andelar. I'm not adding anything else, just maybe a little tweaking here and there. Again, I really appreciate advice, suggestions, comments. Oh, and Svaala... I already rethought the reefs, based on your comments on the Zarak Isles. I would especially appreciate your thoughts on that feature on this map.
