Thanks for the compliments and feedback everyone! I think I can call this map done. (unless i add ports and icons and villages and the like)

in response to Ramah, i grabbed some images from google search and tweaked them with a cutout layer so that they were not too realistic...

i am not sure if that is copyright infringement or up there with collage artists using magazine clippings... i hope it is the latter.

For the tutorial, I lost it around step 3 - land. I did not seem to have the same Pattern Overlay buttons or control over bevels to the same degree. Maybe it is just organized different and I got lazy in my search to find the equivalents.
