This is a good tutorial for newbies around the hacking area.
Just one tip on the sea-route mapping.

When mapping them don't try make the borders one single set of the rock mix it up completely to make sure it doesn't follow a pattern. It looks more interesting.

eg. Having the border go rocks/single rock/mountain rock is bad.
It would be better to have one and then two of another and then back to that one and so on. Lol xD.

Thank you, Marz!

Finally someone does a mapping tutorial, probably the tutorial a lot of people need the most. You did a good job of it too.

I actually have something to say over mapping, this one nearly everybody gets wrong...

The light blue tiles are freshwater
The dark blue ones with waves are salt water.

Please, never use dark blue one in towns or on non-sea routes, why would salt water be there?

I've got 2 problems.
First, how do insert tiles from a png file?
Secondly, I create 2 new Map Banks (35 and 36) and name the maps on the firs Route 306, and in the other KRAKEN CAVES. But, when i change the second bank (36) it also changes the name in maps on (35)... can i prevent that?
