Ok I have a question. Is there a tutorial round abouts on how to make the top down mountains that you have used here? I have been experimenting but can't find a good method for doing them.

I used this one: http://www.zompist.com/howto2.htm, and followed it pretty closely, although the end result looks a bit different. I did add a couple of extra layers...first, a duplicate of the terrain layer with a reticulate filter to give it color and texture, set at a low opacity, and an ice cap layer (I hand-painted these with white) set at 50% opacity.

If you're thinking of using this method, keep in mind that it was a lot of work, at least for me.
