I've made a few maps now, and here are my comments to try to help people picking it up. There are some other general tips on the top of my head but they are more for just editing the terrain and are covered in the tutorial in the OP. I tried to do this with the Grand Teton area and most of the terrain looked pretty good, but the 3 large mountains themselves looked nothing even close. Importing decent sized hills and mountains works great but if you try to import an area containing a very large mountain it will generally not import correctly. If you try to import a very flat area, certain features may be indistinguishable and look flat. if not, don't worry about it.Īs Dale and others have noted, the importing process usually works better if you have a good difference in terrain heights. That is only really applicable if you are trying to build real, perfect to scale replica's of cities. By all appearances 40x40 km is the correct scale but anything close to that will do, 36x36 etc. Using my old school profile because apparently my newer one couldn't be found.Īnyways 18x18 km is not correct.
