Here's a look at my first map. Your input is appreciated! :)

Now with a much more pleasing environmental effect scheme and more trees and good stuff!

looks great. ...but some things are missig/not finished yet.

- move different coloured lines (green, blue, yellow...) to y mapborder. this lines define playable area - start from fog...
- define in F3 modus (eg. battlezone.mi) with key F6 y weather + sky.

Its alright for a first map. Some more work could be done on it though.

I tried to move the fog line but I couldn't. I assume it should be put at the edges of the area I want to be visible? Any pointers appreciated. I did change the weather but lost the sky, I'll try to fix that. Thanks for your comments, both of you.

Ok, figured out how to change the green fog line, you have to move the yellow boundary line and the green one follows. I added polygons so the map looks much better now with the borders fogged out. Still need to fill out a little more than half of the map, but you can see most of what I have so far below.

Well,I m looking forward to this map!

It would be nice if you register at forum in my signature.

Map looks nice so far, but if I were you, I would replace your current water stamps with something else. The ones you have used, looks good for small streams, not wide lakes/rivers.

The map would look much better if you broke up the grass terrain with some other terrain. For example, in the pine forrest, you could use needle_grass (not 100% sure on its name right now). The more variation you add to your map, the more interesting it will be, although this is just my opinion.
