There's a nice article on Plan Oblique relief at the Tom Patterson site. Look around that site if you haven't already. There's a lot to learn, especially, but not exclusively, for Bryce users.

Been playing some more tonight, added the mountains in and ran it a few more times with more settings. Found another minor bug in GTS...sigh. Learned a bit more about how to use it effectively. Anyway...
More WIPs. Though I think I am about done for the base tile map. I can think about some better trees, roads and positioning of some forts.
-- Edit: I have added a safe zones map. The red is monster ridden, blue is pretty safe (well lets say as safe as normal fantasy territory) and the unmarked ground is the no mans land... So if anyone wants to think about putting in forts & towns then keep it in the safe zone.

Hoho! Thanks Su_liam! Planimetric was the word I needed to stf on and couldn't remember!
Here is the whole thread that example was originally in (which was indeed inspired by the link you referenced...

Went out for a drive in the countryside so stopped off with my map print and made some names of places. I have made that sketch a little neater now.

Put some trees in to match up with neighbors tiles and added a swamp / marsh effect where required. In the marshes are where the monsters hang out so that gives an idea of where its dangerous. Will have to do a write up of the place names but that needs a sort of wiki to do that. Are we going to obtain a common one from somewhere ?
Oh, updated the region tile screen too - link from the grab a tile thread.
-- Edit, I can never find that so ill inline it here too.

If I had sufficient time, I'd drum up player's to game in that region, Christ! Very lovely map.
An absolute revelation Redrobes, I love it. The colours are great and the labelling top notch. You have also opened the door for the next level of mapping by being the first person to get to this stage.

Looks Good. Now to do some more work on my area's Eastern region to match up with your's.
