I second the nod to the location names. I think they are very distinctive. You can really feel the cultures shift as you scan around the map reading the names.

Pimping my worldmap here. Still WIP... long way to go, but I'm pretty proud of what I've done so far...
This is very nice. It somehow has a nordic and right before the Dark Ages time period feel to it.
That's good! It looks nice and I also like the names.
Great map, BONUS!
I got an optical illusion when I first looked at your map. The mountain areas seemed like they were inverted. Like huge, cavernous gouges in the land. I saw the mountains when I looked twice, but I kinda liked the immense scars that I saw first time. They invoked my imagination.
Very good first map. 450 XP and an amulet of protection +1.

Looks great! How did you do the mountains? They don't look quite like the ones from Acention's tutorial. Any help our pointers to maybe a different tut for mountains would be great.
Just some minor tweaks on the layer styles. What the tweaks were I dunno.

Awesome first map. Lots of names too, you spent some time on that. Repped.

Its a nice map but this thread is a year old and Bonus posted 2 posts so its prob one for archiving now unless Bonus pops up and continues to make more nice maps like that.
Yes, I changed the bevel size from 3 to 10 and my mountains look similar to this now. Thank you!Originally Posted by Ascension
