tom see ifyoucan get the land textured and beveled sitting on top of the water the same as you have the minimap I think your on to a winner.

Like rubean said the trees and good, so are the mountains but like cairns suggested there to close together.

Keep going tom your doing excellent work on this one :)

Anyone notice the edges of the mts. above the continent Antananarivo are really pixellated? Also, like others said, some are at odd angles to each other. But they look really nice otherwise.

very nice but i dont how Madagascar has an inner bevel on the minimap. It should be on the same level as the mini map BG.

I think the top right continent needs a color change, it present reminds me of some bodily function gone horribly, horribly wrong.

And damnit, stop posting, I'm trying to update Map Stats and I keep on having to post-by-post this map following an 81 post update. Punk.

For a country with some burnt-red landscapes, a burnt-red color wouldn't hurt at all.

Edit: My evillest post ever: 666.

I think both will look OK, but i think losing the bevel would make the most sense. If it was painted onto that stone, then it would not be raised. Also i think the title should lose the shadow. Maybe add a stroke or something.

I'm in agreement with Kap on the mini map. Regarding the color, perhaps swap out the blue and use the a burnt red? Or maybe swap out the gray (though I like that I think).

This map is looking much better with the new inner bevel.

I'm growing to like the mountains style, but as some people have said, they're too clustered. I think the southern jungle suffers the opposite problem: the trees are too far apart. The western jungle looks pretty good.

I actually liked the minimap more with the island having an inner bevel.

Knots on the ropes now please?
