The global light sets the overall brightness of the map. So for this map I set it at 15% which is dark. This allows the lights from the fires and building to stand out but hampers seeing the over all design of the map. I decided I wanted it brighter but just changing the global setting did not give me the effect I wanted. I should not here that I created sheets for the campfires and the buildings. This does not make editing the lights easier but allows me to turn them on or off as a set. I also created a sheet called LIGHT Moon and place a single light there to get the effect. The first version was in the upper left but that gave me the ray lines in the image. I then decided to place the light towards the middle of the map acting as a full moon over head. This gave me the effect I was looking for. Also adding the moon light I'm able to change the overall color of the map just by changing the light color and intensity. This version uses a light blue (76) at 40%.

The map below I changed the moon light to different color just to show you how this effects the overall image. (Yellow 142 @ 40%)

Thanks Sue,

The light is actually at 90 degrees. I changed it to over head and that seems to have fixed it.

Unless someone fines a glaring issue I missed, I think this will be the final rendition. Added larger image to gallery.

Adjusted the cliff shadows and added the moonlit night effect and added the smoke to the buildings. Also added the frame back in the design.

Added more texture to the snow and water. Added some slight shadows around the cliffs.

Cliff shadows still need some work I think and I need to add a few more building lights. Also thinking about making it a moon lite night.

Ok started working on lighting for the map. Still have more stuff to do but here is the current version I'm working on.
