    Default Large scale map, which of these mountains works best?

    Hello,

    This is my first map, so naturally, i evolve and get better as i progress. This has lead to a problem; I used 2 pixels for the ridgeline in example number 1. and a 1 pixel ridgeline in example number 2. And now, i'm torn at which one i will go for. So i turn to you, how do you feel about it?

    This map is far from finished, so don't mind anything except for the mountains in the circles.



    Comparison far away:

    1. Caucasus


    2. Cambodia


    Comparison close up:

    1. Caucasus


    2. Cambodia


    Personally, i believe i prefer number 2, although it kind of disappears when you move further away... Thoughts?
    FYI; I don't plan to paint the terrain, it'll be a thematical map which highlights other things. The mountains are there to convey the message of impassable-ness. With this in mind, you might understand that it's important that the mountains don't dissappear since they'll not be made up of much else than shadows and ridgelines.
