ClockWatcher's map_t technique is basically the same as the map_h procedure. The map_t procedure assigns map_t pixel values between 0 (lowland) and 15 (country3) based on the MicroDem elevation. Using the map_h as a map_t will probably work (IMHO) but give some highly interesting results

Built my map_t from scratch, bottom up. First the coastline and sea using values 30 (Coastriver) and 28 (Water), using a quarterscale map_c helps, next the ground layer, used a high pass filtering of map_h to distinguish between cultivated and non-cultivated land (high pixel value = steep ground, low pixel value = flat ground), set non-cultivated in Denmark/Germany to a rough grasslands tile, set non-cultivated in Sweden/on Bornholm using a rough, cliffy tile. Cultivated land was filled using a fractal pattern to break the repetition with values between 0 and 5 assigning appropriate "agricultural" tiles (Slovakia map tiles). After that forest areas were overlayered (thnx Google Maps, same tedious technique as my map_c file). Fine tuning with cities, villages, beaches and so on in the expanded FMB.
Hope this helps....
