    Looking good, Hans :)

    I very much hope you are well onto the road of recovery right now, though!

    Things are progressing with the tiled half of the set. This is a 'Map file test', where I set up the new buildings in a circular array to check that the map files are working as expected. The buildings on the outside edge haven't been finished yet. I've tried to take on board all the useful and helpful advice from earlier in this thread - in particular the photographic evidence.

  • Blending

    That's not possible because those symbols are bitmap images created by the artist and the linework is an integral part of them. I recommend either making the rivers and roads thinner, or the mountains larger.

    That's a pretty cool map :)

    The only suggestion I have is to activate the Blend Mode on the FOREST SHADOWS sheet, and set it up a bit like this. That should prevent the shadow patch under the woodlands dominating the woodland areas so much. Here is a before and after jungle woodland.

    I also doubled the blur from 10 to 20 between those two shots.

    There is still a shadow, but it doesn't stand out quite so much.

    @jslayton LOL! And thank you :D I think I will leave them as they are for now, because you are right - darker and they lose the arched feel ;)

    @mike robel Thanks Mike :) I'm sorry to hear you really don't like snow all that much! I think you aren't alone, though. I love the beauty of a snowy scene, but I'm one of those people who get near-frostbitten fingers the moment I step outside.
