Here's my attempt. Didn't bother trying to tweak it too much in the interest of time, hhe. I'll do that for the campaign map I'm working on.

I am a bit confused with step #34: what layer do I put the layer styles on? I put them on the base layer but that's causing me confusion in later steps. Also, it would be really helpful if you put screenshots of what your layer palette looks like because I think that's what would solve it for me.

That makes more sense, thanks. It works much better now.
*sigh*
I'm having an extraordinarily hard time with this tutorial.
I am beginning to think that I'm the sort of guy that has to be walked through everything bit by bit.
One of the problems I'm having is the naming of the layers. I'm seeing lots of people here making continents, so I'm assuming its a problem of my own. My brain is aging too fast!
I'm having issues starting with step nine. What is the "background copy" layer?

If you look at your layer stack, the bottom layer should say Background. If you duplicate this layer, then the new layer will automatically be named Background copy.

I suppose this is why I'm having a hard time with it, since they're mostly personal notes to yourself as a reminder. There's a lot of gaps.
For instance, in steps 7, 8, and 9 I got really confused. By step 9 I assume we should have 3 layers.
Blank layer
Cloudy Layer 2
background copy
And then you apply the fill effect (50% gray) to the background copy?
EDIT: These questions are probably dumb for you, but I'm concerned about what my layers are. One mistaken layer and everything is kaput...
You're not reading carefully or you are over-complicating things. Step six says filter - render - clouds...since this is the very first thing we do it should be on the background layer. Step seven says to duplicate that layer...it gets auto-named background copy. Step eight says to create a new layer and fill it with 50% gray, set the blend mode to hard mix, and rename the layer to base. How many layers is that? Three. Step nine says to click on the background copy layer and do some airbrushing. The last sentence has a typo, though. It says to copy a layer when it should say duplicate. That makes four.
