Well, thanks to oscotty, the Tsar and Goatbuster3000 (of the TWC) my map is now in-game, albeit in an incompletement, 12 settlement form.

To prove it, here's a screenshot. I stress that this is a WIP, but it did turn out better than I thought it would, considering its the first bit of height data I've ever made.

The brightening is caused by windows picture viewers auto-correct function. The region in game was beneath the fog of war.

The image is of the mountain range called the Final Wall, Ar Hlan Kires in the language of the Hoir Lechan (the Northern Kingdom, literally True God's People), and the Dwindling Forest, Or Thenor Firige in the Ilsamiren language as spoken by the people of the Western Kingdom (Heirua Domer). The lake behind the range is the Icy Lake (Ar Todh Licher). There will be two cities in this shot when it is finished, Varas Thenor and Enuth Licher (Forest Gate and the Icy City).

In battles the mountains can look ludicrous (though I've had a few encounters which look quite spectacular, with the mountains rising in the distance against the setting sun), but this may just be because there is little other height data to compare them with.

What do people think?

I think it looks good.

(If you don't know, the purple blodges are where a slightly wrong colour was used in the ground types file.)

Hmm the pic won't load for me.
Anyways, to disable fog of war, open the console ("[" key or equivalent - e.g. รถ in Germany), then enter toggle_fow
