    What software are you using? There are many different approaches you can take dealing with a height map: 3d modeling, gradient maps, bump maps, select by color, and even something as simple as using it as an overlay.

    I'm using Photoshop, though I'm still pretty new to it.

    I ended up using a combination of a lighting filter with an pattern overlay.

    Post Latest WIP

    OK, here is my latest. I added a couple of rivers that I had not noticed were there before.

    I also added some cities and fortresses.

    As always C&C is welcome.

    Thanks guys... I'm kind of interested to see what happens with the tile above this one (#1, doesn't appear anyone is doing anything with it yet.
