[Region 1][Map 20] Riverlands

[Airith]

Airith - I think that you need to up the size of your picture. And, yes, I believe that there would be more towns in a region that size. Unless, of course, there is a specific reason for there not to be.

I restarted with a 1400 sized one, so hopefully that's enough. I'm not quite sure how to do the scale, everyone's should be similar (I think?) but I can't grasp whether I'm putting a sprawling metropolis over a massive area, or just a city .

Airith, you may want have look at the rivers. At the moment they are slightly transparent and show the underlying land elevations. They may look better in the sens of standing out more, if you make them "flat" and independent of the land roughness. Another option is RobA's method of making a hidden layer with the rivers as black against a white background, then applying a gaussian blur to them. Then you use this layer as a bump map under your rivers. This creates the image of depressions through which the rivers run and can be very effective. Just an idea.

I got it from the tutorial, but I'm going to have a go and try to see if I can make it work by myself... Probably using what you just said though :X

Also, I was thinking that the North would be depopulated, but I might add a few abandoned or at least ruins, it is really near the plagueland center.
