Hello everyone.

I've gotta say this is a great resource, I was beginning to think the internet finally ceased being useful after searching for sites specifically devoted to map making, at least map making as it relates to gaming, and finding none. At least until I stumbled on this site, thanks.

I create maps that are used in a game designed to teach tactics.

This is a link to some screenshots:

All of the maps were created by me except for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th maps in the second row, and the 1st map in the third row.

Two things that I'm looking to improve are my buildings and forest areas. I've tried to "reverse engineer" the maps that aren't mine but without any luck. Looks like I'll have to develop my own techniques.

I've used a map relief shading technique that I found here:

For my hills. Although the elevation lines may be distracting they are essential to the game and teaching tactics.
