Cool idea! Have you read about the Balinese water temple irrigation system? I've had an adventure idea on the back burner of my brain for a while now based on that.
Hello,
One map finished, time to start a new one.
This project is inspired by the Banaue Rice Terraces.
I started to make the terrain with Bryce. I haven't rendered it in full quality yet, so this is just a quick test render.
There will be a village in the upper left corner (therefore I posted it in town/city) and lots of vegetation all over the map.

This is the current state of the map. Most of it is made with Bryce, only a little Photoshop here and there. C&C welcomed.
I just did a quick google search and it sounds interesting. I wanted to include a temple anyway, so let's see what I can bring up once I come to the buildings.
Update.
to do:
- crop
- temple
- village details
- lighting/shadows
- ???
This is really starting to look nice, there is a pretty nice tileable image of rice paddy's here that may be of some use to you.
Lots of other good textures here also...

The vertical surfaces are a bit too shiny, I think. They look a bit like they're covered in new copper cladding.
