Another Alternate History guy!

Another one! They're coming in droves!

Welcome to the site. No problem - visit our tutorials forums, I'm sure there's at least one tutorial with the software you use in there. Many of the tut's can be cross-referenced to your software, even if not the same. GIMP tuts for Photoshop maps, for example.

Welcome to the Guild, Ofalof!

I think the main reason for the Alt. History influx is that the forums we go to have a single, well-visited map thread for the entire forums. The main issue with the lot of us is that we figured out a good core group of base maps and Unified Color Scheme for manipulation, so now practically anyone can open up paint, modify a few borders, change a few provincial colors to mark changes in rule, and have a map done in five minutes. It's made things easy enough that creativity in mapmaking simply isn't needed half the time if you want to convey a new idea.

We really need to fix this.
