    Yeah, the Faux Bold thingy won't let ya warp text so what I do is to put a black stroke (or whatever color your text is) on it to fake a faux bold and still be able to warp it to a path. The caveat is that the fatter the stroke the rounder the pointy bits get so use a small stroke. Strokes also disrupt things like outer glow and drop shadow so if you are using those then duplicate the layer and put the stroke on its own.
    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.

    Wow, that's pretty darn nice! Not meaning to be overly critical here, but to me, the rivers look a little angular, like they don't curve naturally.

    Thanks; I've got a new mouse so I'll go back and fix those.

    Looks really good so far Mrrkyl. I was going to comment on the fuzziness of the font but then I read the other responses an looks like that's been covered. So I have not constructive feedback to offer, just a pat on the back.

    Cheers,

    Update: rivers and text have been adjusted; map border and scale added; & ocean tweaked. I am thinking the Territory names are a bit dark...let me know what you think. Enjoy!
