Thanks EukalyptusNow :)

The general idea is that the first issue will have mainly woodland stuff with a secondary focus on ruins and a handful of outcrops.

There will be a second issue which is planned to have all kinds of watery stuff in it - rivers and waterfalls

I have changed my mind about the gravelly patches, and gone for simple dirt terrain patches at 50% opacity so you can blend things in a more natural way. The pebble effect would have made it difficult to see other small symbols that would probably be more important than how gravely the path is.

Those are Creepy Crypt mushrooms. I'll be doing new smaller patches for Forest Trail more suitable for creating your own fairy rings...

I've done a couple of dirt patches. Not sure if these look all right, though.

I think I've also cracked the grass situation, using terrain patches (a blobby patch of grass texture created as a symbol for each of the 10 grass textures). The full grass textures are also available, but I like the more natural looking terrain patches better, so this map only has grass as symbols.

I've made a new problem for myself, though. I now need to make a few subtle pebble cluster and dead leaf patches for the dirt because it looks too plain.

I think I've got the dirt textures and some of the trees sorted out now. There's a lot more stuff in the pipeline, but I'm on my way to bed right now, so this is a shot of my screen as I close everything down.

Hi Everyone! :D

This week, Ralf will be starting a large and ongoing city mapping project that will stretch over multiple sessions at irregular intervals.
