Hope to see it there in your next update.

love the board.
Could you make the continents be more stand out but other than that all you need is what you have suggested

The mountains stand out so much from the rest of the map...any way to make them blend more?

Yes.
Make the borders black.
It would look a lot better.

I think I would need to see it first. I like the borders as they are now anyway.

Please, no ! Stop it !
It's unbearable. I'm sorry, I don't want to offense the mappers here, but please, no ! No ! No ! No ! No !
Too many things to modify to make this map look like a real map of France.
I'm really sorry to disagree, but I couldn't bear it any longer.

I don't understand, this was taken from a map of the original provinces of france... Most other people from france to visit this thread haven't said much about it not looking like a real map of france. I could fix specific things if you are that worried about it..

Yeah, I really like the textures I have chosen and unless alot of people object they will stay. Smooth would be more lack of texture anyways

I vote white...but both versions seem to have pixelated borders
Posted: Wed Jul 25, 2007 3:32 pm
by reverend_kyle
I don't see where you mean they are pixelated.
Posted: Wed Jul 25, 2007 3:45 pm
by gimil
by pixalated he means they look rather square at bits and dont really flow the way there suppose to
Posted: Wed Jul 25, 2007 3:47 pm
by Bad Speler

Anyone know how to remedy this?

if your using photoshop make sure you use a circle shape brush (not pencil tool) and take your time round the boarders
Posted: Wed Jul 25, 2007 3:56 pm
by reverend_kyle
When I use a circle not pencil it is in consistant and makes the borders thicker in some places than others.
It's a double edge sword.
