A bit of help, if you please?

Have you checked out Butch Curry's tutorials at Zombie Nirvana. Very nice for creating parchment looking maps, also very helpful on using layer masks and adjustment masks in mapping.

Indeed I have. Turns out I really suck at drawing mountains.

Well there is a tutorial section here that I can heartily recommend. Problem is without being you its hard to know where to start .

Why don't you start with the tutorials and bring back you questions and observations - those, people can help you with. Teaching a man to swim on dry land is almost impossible - you have to get your feet wet.

Yes, yes.. it is most assuredly hard being me. But someone has to do it.

On that note, I've got something I want to try, and I'll definitely be back with questions afterwards.

I do appreciate your willingness though.

I do have a questions that perhaps someone can help me with. It's got nothing to do with isometric maps, which is what I said I wanted help on, but still..

I see people using all these black and white heightmaps, I believe they're called. How does one incorporate that into the beginning stages of a map in Photoshop? I feel like an idiot for not knowing, but that still doesn't change the fact that I don't.

Well, if you like we can do a map together. Why don't you pick an area in the CWBP and I can (try) to talk you through making a map with photoshop. I can do a step and explain how I got there, you can follow using the similar techniques and we can see how we go?

(not that I'm an expert or anything, but it's just a thought to get you up and running).

That would be amazing! Thank you. Looking at the landgrab, I'll go with 25 since it seems to have a bit of everything, with the possible exception of some mountains.

I couldn't have thought of a better solution. Your'e in good hands. 25 is yours to do with what you please. Height maps are too cool. If you use gimp for anything I can also help you out.
