Reply With QuoteAre there any mistakes in this one??? I figured out the rule about rivers not splitting downstream.
And demonstrate that you get yours right as well

Nope, these look good. I meant getting them right on a consistent basis over a long time, not meaning that this had something wrong.

cool. Also, If anyone knows how to do swamp/marsh in Gimp, I would love to know!

Glad to see you were able to get the GIMP figured out.
I'll eventually be adding some regions of swamp/marsh to my own map, but so far don't have a process worked out. Unfortunately, by the time I do, I suspect it will be too late to help you out with it.
I think, therefore I am a nerd.

Pimping my worldmap here. Still WIP... long way to go, but I'm pretty proud of what I've done so far...
Try a yellow colour with small horizontal stippling for a swamp?

I've been trying to do the same thing, and I also was more or less following RobA's tutorial. What I'm currently trying is to continue to use the texture of a forest while changing the coloring from shades of green to a dark desaturated green -> dark desaturated brown gradient. I'm not thrilled with the results, but they're not atrocious. I've attached a sample from my map, and also the two colors I used.Originally Posted by BlackMojo
