Thx Agracier... 
I finally thought that I've been a little too fast to release this one : so I just tried to modify it according to Asheshouse, and I added a few cultivated fields in Scotland and south Norway mainly near villages & towns (and around Banff airfield :wink: ) :

I'll release it again as soon as I get an answer coming from Mixx... (so that I may add his texs inside my pack)
It was quite easy for me as the main work comes from the winter GW Norway map I made some months ago (It is the same map_T file) . The work I did on this one was one of the more elaborated I ever done : not only the steep slopes were extracted to carry their own tex but I also separated south oriented vertical cliff from north oriented vertical cliff.
In order to find the steep slope, I didn't did it by hand but used my 3D software (Lightwave) that way :
1- I created a simple plane on which I applied a displacement map using Norway map_H.tga as elevation map and a flat light color.
2- I put 1 single directional light but EXACTLY vertical above this plane and I rendered a top view : the slopes appear a bit darker than horizontal surfaces.
3- I used Photoshop light-contrast tool to have it more visible
4- I had to put this "slope-map" at the exact corresponding position on my work map_T picture file (on another layer)... and tput here a rocky tex.
...hope this can help !

Quote:Especially the way that vertical cliffs use rock textures, but not above nor below ... don't know how that could have been done without placing the cliff textures by hand, but it looks first class.
