    A lovely map! May I ask you, how do you do your textures? I'm always interested in learning different approaches!
    Apparently I've finished these maps.

    Thank you, guys!

    @Lukc: I usually use a texture as top layer and try different blend options and opacity. A good place to get textures is http://www.cgtextures.com/

    Awesome as usual

    Even if I am correct, I would still advise you to follow your heart. This whole Cartographers Guild thing, it seems to me, is more about passion and skill and learning new techniques than it is about definitions and rules.

    I still think your alternate history maps are the best I've ever seen. Great work, Sap.
