    Hi Folks,

    I'd like to start by thanking everyone for the help ive received on this map to date. Id especially like to thank Ascension for taking me through creating scale bars - much appreciated sir !

    Over the past few days i've hopefully learned some of the basics of making a map using CS2 - this is the first one ive made from start to "finish" apart from the two trial runs i did at the end of last week. Hopefully its not too bad !

    Anyway as always id like feedback and recommendations from the wider group on the map below.

    Thanks and regards...

    The only thing I find odd is the vivid water color but that's native to the tut. I'd go with something lighter, maybe a bit o gray in there and green too. I think he uses a pattern for the water so maybe add a color overlay of white and set the blend mode of that to soft light then turn down the opacity if you want. But that's just my two cents.
    If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

    Is this better (taking your advice !)
