Yeah, thats the FT continental shelf thing...I may edit out the ones in the bay, but the ones off the coast of the island will probably stay.

This looks really beautiful. Except for that one lil part near aregean strip...looks like some trees that were forgotten to get colored. But otherwise this is really sweet.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

I say go for it, if it doesn't turn out quite how you hoped, you can always turn the level off!
Nice job, I like it.

Looking really good Arcana! My only small comment is that the river labels might look a little better if you increased the spacing between the characters and 'followed' the line of the river. Example below using Times New Roman, but you'll obviously want to use your own font.
Nice! How do you make it follow a line?

In Gimp at least, there is a Text to Path command. I assume PS has something like that. Don't ,know about other software though.Originally Posted by Arcana

Make a path using the pen tool. Select the Text tool and hover the pointer near the first node of the path, the pointer shape will change. Left click and start typing. The text will follow the path. To increase the spacing between the characters, click the format character menu on the top context bar. It will bring up a sub menu from which you can increase the spacing.
