Great! Please send the new file to me as soon as you're ready, it's easier to do the heights map if I have a correct map_ground_types in a psd layer below. Can you remove some of the fertility in southern and middle France too, or should I do that? Finally, are the special, secret plans for rivers working out as planned, or will we have to use normal ones for all rivers, including the Seine and the Dnepr?

I found out map_heights was more complicated to do that I thought. My first attempt to remove the bad edges at the coastline didn't work so I'll have to go through the map pixel per pixel again. I found as simple solution of doing it by using a new layer, so I don't have to wait with doing it until I've finished the rest of the map. I also experimented a little with smoothness and size of mountain/hill pieces and have realized that I will probably have to go through the entire map once or twice, region by region, after I've done a rough first sketch. Anyway, Meneldil, can you work from a rough map_heights version, or do you need the final one before you can do the things you were going to do (features etc.)? I can have a rough version finished in two to three days if necessary, but that version will then have to see a lot of detail changes.
