    ok the blending of Water and beaches is done, i added a few effects to. I made 3 new sheets. BEACH, OCEAN SHALLOW, and OCEAN DEEP. I added an edge fade, inner to all 3. tweeked settings a bit and added 2 glow effects, 1 to ocean shallow . i added gray to make it look as if the beach was wet, and then i added a beach glow to blend it into the grass. all and all it came out very nice. now all i gotta do is cliffs and i think it come along nicely. haven't decided on what city wall shape , and where to began and end. but we will get there.

    When I make City maps, I do not like playing with 'uniform' settings, i.e. Using just glows, etc to simulate things like beaches, grass, etc, but prefer to use shapes that then have these effects applied.

    Below is a closeup of a city, Deestan, that shows the beaches/etc without the effects on,and then the same with the effects on.
