I typically use multiple TERRAIN overlays on floors whether they be dirt, grass, bricks, rocks, etc.

I just select a color similar to some other bitmap fill from TERRAIN to, on the one hand, break with the visual repetition of the Bitmap on a large scale, as well... for example in the wood of the inn - where a lighter TERRAIN (in this case I think it was earth or mud) which shows - in the most traveled places the effect of wear and tear. I have even used some Sheets (created) including on top of SYMBOLS.

For these effects, I normally use EDGE FADE INNER between 40 to 90% and with a lot of Edge Width proportional to the size of the map.

Here an Example

I accept suggestions for scenarios that are missing from the selection.

I haven't printed the test book yet.

@EdE If you want to place the grid only on the inside of the drawing, this tutorial that Sue did for us is extremely simple and useful.

Welcome!

I also suffered a lot in this aesthetic aspect until i start to do something acceptable .

This tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8Fvz98lJ7Q&t=524s helped me a lot to practice this. Once you have mastered the "operation" of tracing, you can superimpose any image, and at that moment I used images from google maps for reference... and I still use it... a lot!

I love the positioning of the rocks and bushes in the grid area, it's perfectly clear what could be an obstacle... or an advantage. Congratulations!😎

The green and brown color palette is beautiful. The stones "look very clean" to me.

Maybe also add a very glow/radioactive green option on water (as well as smoke effect) to indicate severe poison/contaminated area.

Pipes Png ejecting water and without ejecting water (in diferent colors also) will be amazing <3
