A starters world map

[philipstephen]

I think it is a great start...

pay attention to the constructive feedback from some of the long time members here - the quick denial statement seems to be more an attack on your software than you - but I am sure it was not helpful to hear.

From what I have seen CC is a program that can produce some great maps if you know how to work it... which i don't...

I think the most important thing is that you enjoy your maps... and the next important thing is that we treat each other with respect... and the next that we are open to learning...

But don't lose heart from negativity... it is actually pretty rare on these forums.

...and check the post-count and rep of those providing feedback and take it for what you will.

The general feel of the thing is good - I think it would look better if the mountains were more gradual. Like, some smaller mountains around the big peaks, and some little hills around the smaller mountains.

Also, there's a little bit of a visible pattern in your forests - I think you're using the thing where you put down big blocks of trees, right? Unless I'm drastically wrong, there's also an individual tree icon - try using that to break up the repetition.

Thank you all for the feed back!It was much more than expected
I didnt see the options on the export window
Here is a better resolution hope it helps...
Also in this version i've put numbers on the geographical features...
Red for mountains,yellow for forests and black for rivers so i can help you tell me where the problems are

About the rivers some of you guys told me if you can plz explain a bit more on which river the problem exists and what is it...

As for the features yes i dis use only the basic ones for now after i've settled on the places and the volumes of them i will place them more carefully and with other features around them...
But wouldnt be a bit too much if around every mountain chain smaller mountains exist and around the smaller mountains hills exist too?
Sounds like a bit too much...but i'm not sure...
I've got no idea of geographical matters like these...(what goes usually around a mountain,or how many rivers a mountain chain needs,what direction do they face,where do forests usually grow,where can desserts exist or swamps etc...)

Edit:Also i think i have a big problem with scaling...i mean look at the distance meter down-right of the map...this is a world map and i think i make some features too big for a world map etc...
Well now i'm thinking about it...i think i threw myself in at the deep end right from the start by wanting to create a whole world but this is what i want and need ...

Rivers don't split as they go downstream...they join. They might go around a chunk of land and form an island but that means that it rejoins. That will also keep your rivers from going to two different seas. The analogy that I've always used is that of a tree. Put the branches up near the mountains, put the trunk on the plains and if you want a delta then put some tiny roots at the coast

Good start, really like the volcanoes.

About scale, I'm not an expert but i'm tackiling the same problem right now, if the scale is in miles you might want to scale down the mountains which would also give you more space to work with if you want to add some more details.
