Here's some Wilbur and GIMP action that I used to generate some overhead terrain.

I'll try to add forests, cities, and other features... I'll see if I can get anything to stick with this style.
One thing I've had trouble with in the past is names and cities. Is there a tutorial out there for those; and if not, how do you make them look clear? (My problem is that they always get smudgy and blurred. Although, I've only tried using brushes and paths.)
