				BananaStomper and I think our oceans look better.  They are pretty similar but not the same.  Which ocean would work better for his map? For my ocean just try to imagine that the land was on top of it. 
Or if you have any suggestion on how to make the ocean better let us know.  We both dont really like light colored oceans tho...
1st Ocean:
2nd Ocean:

				They look almost identical, in fact if it weren't for some funky bumps in the Tamriel map I would say they were the same. As it is I guess the 1st? There isn't much difference...

				right but those aren't detail, really if you hadn't told me they were diffrent I wouldn't have known. Just go with whats easier here.

				By I guess the 1st, I meant I guess I'll choose the first. And I agree with freakshow they are both good looking oceans, almost identical just use whichever one is less hassle.

				they pretty much are the same, the second is just the first with another layer over top that is transluscent.  hoff says that the layer over top looks like tidal waves all over the place.  I think it just makes it look less patterny.  Gives it some pizazz

				Um... The first ocean drowned the continent?  
  
  
 (I know it's lame)
I'm too cross eyed from looking at the computer screen to tell the difference.

				I like the first ocean, principally because it references a greater awareness of the perils of climate change, melting ice caps, and consequent raised sea levels.
No, seriously, I like the first one better.

				I like the first one, but then there is nothing to conquer, and yes I know its lame.

				Are people serious?  The oceans aren't really the same at all, except that they both use blue.  Granted, I don't think that it would make a large impact on whether or not I played the map or not, but I'm glad someone's taking the time to contemplate the aesthetic differences.
Personally, I like Ocean 2 much better.  Ocean 1 looks like some funky Windows 3.1 wallpaper pattern and I think smoothing it out in Ocean 2 looks a little bit better.  Also, you should put Ocean 1 underneath the continent, not on top of it (rim shot)  Am I right folks or am I right?

				Try selecting a small (say 15%) portion of either ocean (I like the 2nd one, btw) and then stretching it to the full size of the image. That'll help get rid of the pattern aspect.
