Introduction Post and a few maps

[Finis]

Thank you for all the responses and feedback

You know, after I posted and went to bed last night I thought of half a dozen ways to improve stuff as I was falling asleep (of course)

I'll defiantly try some of your suggestions out.

Fixed the rivers, in the one instance where I kept the fork (important for the city thats built there) I hope I provided enough subtly geographical evidence to support it (w/e the heck that means)

The bulk of this repass though is looking at the mountains

I greatly disliked those mountains so I spent some time reading the "Playing with Mountains" thread, got inspired and made this pass at the two largest mountain ranges.

Muuuuuch better imo

Those mountains are coming along nicely. Good color palette as well.

btw, if you would be willing, you can upload your maps directly to the site here and get thumbnails. I for one like to look at the thumbnails first. Sometimes things look much better (or worse) at thumbnail view that they do at full size. When you are posting, click the Go Advanced button and a few inches down from the text field where you enter comments is a Manage attachments button. You can upload up to 5 attachments and those that are jpg, png, or gif(I think) will get thumb nailed and shown inline below your comments and you can click to see the full size. If you like your copies to be on your site "in addition" you can even upload from a URL.

Very nice, though I personally think the grass and sand look kinda blurry, compared with the crispness of the mountains and the forests.
