    Yeah, I really didn't consider much realism when making this map, it's largely a test bed. I would've gone back and fixed it in the end, but it was such a mess of layers that I just gave up. Organisation is definitely a priority for my future maps. And realism, where applicable. Thanks!

    If you don't already, my suggestion is:

    LEARN TO LOVE LAYER MASKS!!! For example, I almost NEVER use selections to "fill" with colors/textures, I use a layer with a layer mask instead and get FAR more flexibility(at the expense of a bit more memory usage)
    My Finished Maps
    Works in Progress(or abandoned tests)
