Hello The Bane
Everything done with GIMP. I made some new brushes for the mountains, hills and trees. I used a layer for each element (mountains and hills / trees / water / roads/ villages / symbols / hexes/ etc), it may be convenient to paint, and it also simplifies if I have to delete something. I started from the mountains, trying to save space for roads and cities .. but I did get carried away .. I have to cancel a few mountains here and there … lol
I really like it. More questions though; what scale are the hexes at, the brushes you mention, are they of the pipe variety or standard brushes, and finally, would you share them?
@Bane: my sandbox will be very small, so :
road :1day=2 hexes walk / 3 hexes horse
off road: 1 day =1 hex walk / 2 hexes horse; hills : 2 day= 1 hex walk/ 2 hexes horse, swamp: 3days = 1hex walking / horse; mountains:4 days = 1hex walking / horse
if you need a bigger scale multiplies it
I will post the pic of the brushes soon, u can cut and use them as u wish
