Thank you, David, Quenten, Dalton, Gary and Joe :)

Interesting reactions from all of you. I have been using several accepted grimdark maps as a muse for inspiration, so I know they are all pretty variable when compared to each other, and that it is more of a story atmosphere than a map thing. So maybe I'm still way off the mark.

I would like to keep those texture colours as they are, though, since they are more grey than coloured already, so lets just see what can be done about the mountains and other symbols yet to be created. A few bright red, green or purple place symbols might just show how grey the rest of the map really is.

Something like this, then?

I think it's meant to be more of a personal challenge than an actual competition. That and just being part of a team working towards the same goal. I'm looking forward to seeing your bit of it :)

What kind of swirly pattern are you looking for?

From what perspective?

If it is on the walls you would not see it, other than in a perspectives map, and this is top down.

Sorry to hijack your thread just a little bit here, Highland_Piper, but I just need to say to the average user reading this thread that if you have the facility to download fresh installers each time you have to reinstall (which really shouldn't be this often) you should. The installers are regularly updated, so old ones may still have bugs that have since been fixed. I quite often come across issues that have been caused by using old installers.
