    Wip Vardah - Small Town Map

    Thank you for the positive feedback! I have had so much fun making this map.

    Mike! I am so glad you like the map, thank you for the information on the subtle textures. After staring at your maps wondering what kind of "grunge" brushes you use for texture... now things make more sense. I only got so far using the add noise then blur method :-)

    - Added/copied some more buildings and things (a well and log wall for the fighters guild).
    - Re-did the trees (I like my new tablet!)
    - Added "dunes" or hills and some test rocks
    - Added some subtle textures to just about everything
    - played with the overall levels and hue/saturation
    - Added numbers and a small guide to what they are... with the name of the town
    - Made the compass smaller

    Here is the latest WIP EDIT: and a non-textured version for comparison.

    As to writing a "how to"... I am not sure I am ready to take the mantle of "expert" for this style of map but I will try to put some steps together for how I did this map... or maybe even a youtube video if I can figure out how to keep the information clear and short. (the how to will take some time though)

    Thanks again for the encouragement!
