I thought I can make colored stripes and someway they will change the colors of the terrain, but I'm not sure what would be the best way.

Welcome to gimp-forum.net

It would help if you could post an example map and some indication of expected result.

It might be straight forward, this example is a simple layer over the top in desaturate mode to give an impression of 'cold' at the poles.
This is the manual page, https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-concepts-layer-modes.html gets a bit technical.

   

You could experiment with different colours and layer modes to get different effects. Or you might need some more complex editing.

Quote:And of course I'd like to make less colors to work with them easier.
Do you know any tutorial? I'll try by my own, but I asked if you can help me.

Reducing the colours will again partially depend on the type of map. One of the Gimp color filters is posterize which might do it, or there are several other ways, depends what is required.

There is one site dedicated to producing maps for games etc. see: https://www.cartographersguild.com might be some tutorials there.
