I'm running a d&d campaign and my players will be commanding a big army. So I needed to make a map of the battlefield with troop deployment on it. My first thought was to go look at examples at wikipedia and such. I stumbled upon this map http://www.britishbattles.com/waterl...rloo-map-1.jpg and while it is adequate, I think it looks incredibly boring, especially the hills and elevation. So I was wondering, how would you guys tackle this in making it look better? I am making the map of similar size and would love your input.

Here is the background I made for the map. If you guys wanted to give a quick example of how you would do things, I would appreciate it so much!
