Steppe Terrain

[Mad Russian]

I left the elevation alone. MM asks if you want to smooth the map when it first makes it and I always tell it no.

The last step before beginning to assign textures is to take off all the bright green and use it only for the small patch of woods.

After a few tries with the textures this is what I have at the moment.

2 road textures.
2 field textures.
1 tree texture.
1 balka texture
8 steppe textures
1 village/farm texture.

15 colors on the map and 15 textures assigned to them. Many of the steppe textures are the same. The shadow across the map added at least 4 colors and made me duplicate at least 4 of the textures.

:Here is what the terrain map looks like after I touched it up and smoothed it gently twice.

Dark is low and light is high.

Here is the terrain map overlaid over the height map so you can get an idea of how it all comes together and how you can "look through" the terrain to see the height to make your adjustments.
