Protoss Colony Map (WIP)

Things are getting worse and worse from the perspective of a vendor with a 20 year old piece of software; they are probably getting better and better for the rest of y'all.

I also took a look at your Alu'Kesh Dragonlands map and I have to say I was impressed. If you used the polygon map generator for a template and created this, I don't know how you did it, but you're doing better than me, because I don't exactly know where to find tiles for certain map making and I don't know exactly what to find to add on to a map like this, so maybe I need a little help here.

I seriously don't know how to make legends for a map either.

Thanks very much.

For that map, I generated 2 different landmass shapes and used them as a base to build on in PaintShop Pro X7 (image editing software).

If you don't have an image editor like Photoshop, PaintShop Pro, etc., the GIMP is a very popular (and free) alternative. You can download it here: GIMP

Then take a look in the Tutorials/How-To forum, here at the Guild. There are a number of excellent GIMP tutorials in there that should help to get you started.

And what waldronate is referring to is Fractal Terrains. He's the owner/developer of that software. In addition to FT, he also has a free terrain generator: Wilbur

That was actually very helpful. Thank you! I also already have GIMP (I think). I can use it and it is one of my favorite programs since literally childhood. I can think of a few things to do with it.

You're welcome.
