I have noticed there is a lack of mountain tutorials so I decided to create one for you.
To better help you making mountains here is a palette with all of your mountain needs.
There are several types of mountain styles you are able to make with the grey mountains. In this tutorial I will be creating a canyon-like mountain.
The first thing you should do is turn off autoborder ( You are able to turn this off by hitting 'A' ) then start to create your own outline. It should look something similar to this:
Then you need to decide which floor will best suit your theme. You should choose which ground type will have primary borders overlapping the secondary ground. I chose a more grungy floor type. The rock ground flooring is going to be my primary border.
The next step will be to add debris on my secondary ground type
I will then decide what borders my mountain will require.
The first border I will lay down is the darker rock ( ID : 7079 ) in small amounts.
The next border after that is the rock soil border ( ID : 7641 )
Then add some dirt borders ( ID : 4667 ) to create some variety
Adding some white sand ( ID : 4596 ) every once in awhile will create a nice effect. On top of those mountain borders ( ID : 4456 ) should now be added.
Another floor of mountain adds a level of depth.
Border and groundwork.
And finally, details.
I am not the best mapper but nor am I the worst.
