    Yes - don't mess with the mountains any more. They are just perfect

    This is looking super cool, and I can't wait to see the labels

    Well blah! I've tried about half a dozen different approaches in an effort to get a decent looking forest texture laid into this map and still haven't got it looking quite how I would like. It is a tough thing to do in in the older version of terragen. In any event, with roughly 24 hours to finish this up, I am going to have to go with what I feel were the best results. Probably need to tweak the forest coloring a bit as well as another tweak or two on the grass/plains coloring and, of course actually get my forests where I want them so that I can bang out a final high end render and get the labeling done. Sooooo much to do and so little time....

    The forests look a lot better in this version.

    I have a tendency to get too involved in the details on 2-dimensional work, which is the main reason I can't draw or sketch.
    But this isn't my map, so I'm seeing the impressions, not the details that went into making that impression.
    My suggestion is to use a texture like you use in the grass/shrub lands, just a darker green shade.

    The forest look fine. They blend in nicely with all the other textures. Get some labels on there and Git-r-Done!

    Aaaaaaarrrrrrgggggghhhhh!!!!!!!

    Final render went just fine. First 15 or so labels went just fine. Then....

    KABLOOY!!!!

    All of the sudden, my graphics editor quit liking the font I was using. And I have no clue why. Super super, and I mean SUPER frustrating. Gonna post what I have and see if I can switch fonts and still get this finished in time.

    Edit: okay, this is really odd, it only gives me problems if I go over a certain font size with a few specific capital letters. Anyone ever had that kind of problem before?

    Oh dear!

    Good luck with it.

    And thank you for the nice large, if watery burrow

    Looking very impressive!

    man, this map really made me feel nostalgic, it got a look and feel of SimCity 3/Civilization 3, but far superior. i just love it.
    Sorry any grammatical error, I'm better with Portuguese than English.
