Glad you like it. There's a tutorial of sorts on QGIS in this thread here: http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...-for-using-GIS I still need to finish it, but it should get you started.

And now for update number three: A start on grassland symbols, and mountains are now broken into three size classes based on their proximity to the edge of the mountainous region. Outer ones are small and closely spaced, inner ones are big and widely spaced. Getting the right parameters for that was a pain, but I think it's turned out quite nicely. Hopefully it will like even nicer when I make some proper symbols.
