Ah, so they'd more or less dried up?
That puts a completely new slant on all things water for this.

I've got some ideas though!

I think this more like it - parts of the creeks dried up/shrunken more.

This Picture was taken off the Internet, and absolutely doesn't belong to Me. So, I will probably have to remove it very soon.

But, this is sort of what I'm trying to say, there is No "Blue" some parts of the creeks were dry and blended into the terrain. Other parts were wet, but not around the Round-Tops, IIRC.

Thanks for the pic Davinci.
I do think some sort of compromise is needed regarding this though. To make it clearer which are creeks and not some sort of trail paths.

I'm working on a update as I speak - should be finished in a day or two!

True, but your work never seems to disappoint!

Have you thought about placing names on the terrain, and each individual road?

So, when the men are standing on "Devils Den" or any of the other known places the name shows in the Toolbar.

"To make it clearer which are creeks and not some sort of trail paths"

If I may suggest, give the creek bottoms a rock texture, with various deep areas containing pools. Dried up creeks almost always have rocky bottoms, easy to differentiate from dirt roads with gravel, or trails with just dirt.

Good Idea, "Reb"

Also - as shown in the picture, place a few muddy boulders here and there in the creeks that are partially submerged in the ground.

Well, You won't believe it but, that is exactly the look that blends it great with the current terrain.

Placing down some scrubs and undergrowth along the creek banks will enhance that look a lot better.

Excellent Work!
