I agree. For some reason, lots of newcomers start with the Atlas style, I know I did, and I didn't enjoy it. It's difficult to do and difficult to get satisfactory results, although after a lot of practice, it does make nice terrain.

I think we should have a much simpler tutorial guide for newcomers. There are some on "getting started", but they are too general about what software to use, etc, and not specific enough about styles to try first.

If you had to advise a newcomer who wanted to try his/her hand at making their own map, which style (or tutorial) would you recommend they try first?
