@bobfahren Thank you, I just love the aspect of creating my own unique environment and I'm glad I get to share my creations.

What StrangeKabuki13 said.

Just saw the BBB review too. And I'm such impressed you pulled this as a first map.

It is certainly not yet the prettiest or most overwhelming map in the world. But at first glance I think it's amazing how you guide and challenge me as a player in my game, while still offering all the possibilities. You have a talent there for playable maps and I look forward to more work from you.

I have subscribed to the map and I will definitely try it out sometime (I am still too busy with my current city). Thank you.

@StrangeKabuki13 Thank you! I would love to see what you would build on this map!

just saw the BBB review. This is my kind of map! The terrain is not a huge challenge there are plenty of resources and minimal terraforming. I especially like the more minimalist network. . Expanding on the Artistic/Bob Ross theme, I don't like to make massive change is what the map creator gives me. It is their statement and I like to be keep that in mind as I build. Just my personal quirk about maps. I'm going to give it a go today and see how it plays!

@Matok1971 Thank you, I just saw it. There are a lot of things to improve and polish, maybe I'll try to apply them on my next map.

Nice looking map. BonBonB just reviewed the map. For your first map, I think you did great.

@xiii-Dex I'll be posting another video soon of my second map "Wisp Forest" where I did a much simpler PS heightmap :steamhappy:

@xiii-Dex Thanks, one thing I learned is that you can always do a much simpler base height map for importing i.e. just the basic outline of the rivers, a smooth surfaced mountain and the base slope of the highest and lowest point of the buildable areas, I found that it was much easier to refine in the game itself rather than drawing a very detailed height map in PS, maybe because I'm not really that familiar with digital drawing, I've always relied on traditional pen and paper :steamhappy: hope it helps :steamthumbsup::steamthumbsup:

Such a cool way to do it. I've been wanting to draw a heightmap for a while now. I always start with drawings, but step 2 winds up being going crazy with pen tool rather than with my tablet.

@Oldhip, this map will give you more buildable area on the west and the whole east side with the 81 tiles mod, as shown in the full map screenshots.
