hey @Royal Scribe I shared other information, also using the Mike Schley style, maybe some of it could be useful in your next venture.

Another option is make a mini valley between hills of groups that go faster. Put a river.

Of course, the U-turn in this case of 10x5 is possible, although "complicated" depending on the size of the animal... but they are not there on vacation and where they sleep... it is possibly better than most places where travelers sleep in this world of pain and uncertainty.

But, as I said, this is a (temporary) inn stable and not a farm shed - which in this world would surely belong to a noble or high merchant with enough money to build a very large building.... all this to house only 8 animals maximum = 4 rooms of 10x10 on each side + corridor at least 5 feet wide - recommended would be 40x25 minimum space... I see a lot of GP there that most inhabitants of my world... a dirty and miserable medieval would see this stable (ideal) as a nobleman's mansion by his own standards.

mike schley overland is also a very versatile style

"something" like that.

the idea of ​​using the icons of the intersections between the "kingdoms" as if it depended on a passage from one to the other.

Or... yet another possibility would be to use different races/cultures/construction colors in each sector.

Hy @JimP !

I typically use alycia clouds in horizontal orientation in my maps. I always try to vary their size and also, in some cases, use more than one image to make a larger cloud.

Normally i choose placing them to cover free spaces but without disturbing the necessary parts of the map.

After finish the clouds you can put your names with contrast in the glow to stand out over the clouds.

mushrooms, skeleton, some stones and the altar on map above are from Perspectives.

a large pack of structures expansion for Spectrum overland would be amazing

I always start with the mountains when I make my maps. Some styles trees and icons go on the same Sheet = SYMBOLS, in other styles, for example Mike Schley, the trees always go on the SYMBOLS TREES sheet. This initially makes it difficult to "place symbols behind the mountains", so you can create symbols back or symbol trees back to automatically position them behind and give better depth to your drawing.
