Thanks for 10 diamonds!

This is some beautiful work!  Nice job with this!

While you may not be on to a Mesa, you are definitely onto something else! Your work here instantly reminded me of a place I explored on my personal expedition across several US National Parks: Red Canyon, the Gateway to Bryce NP.

The picture doesn't do it much justice, but what made the area unique is that it has the beautiful mesa-styled colors of the famous Southwest while also having a LOT of very green trees. Combine it with a crystal sky with a smattering of clouds and you have one hell of a landscape to walk. Perhaps take your proejct in that direction should you wish to update this?

My only complaint about this map is that you call it Mesa Hills but have a lot of trees and grass blocks going on with it. Mesas are very arid regions, making plant life sparse. Your trees and grass would be found near the water, but not much elsewhere. Looking at your topographic map (your WorldPainter 3D view), the terrain is very nice and I like it.

To get a better idea of what mesas are like, visit this wiki article about them:

This should help in making more realistic terrain - even when it is fantasy terrain, it helps to understand geological "rules" first to make it easier to suspend disbelief when looking at fantasy terrain. Basing fantasy on real life is the easiest way to go because we all understand real life on a subconcious level. Otherwise, you have to create a seperate set of rules for your terrain to follow throughout the map - like floating islands in the sky for example. They aren't real but we accept and like them because they follow their own set  of rules.
