Oooooh, cool -- if I have a double River Police badge does that make me a sergeant or something? :-). I really will work twice as hard to gracefully steer watercourses aright, but if two is silly...

Nicely done, veracusse! Polish that style, and you can be illustrating geographical articles. And to answer your question, Zarylin, the colors of icons showing progression of settlement works...

Delightful map! I just got finished reading aloud to my kids a book set on this, albeit in the 1930s. Arthur Ransome wrote a series of kids' books known by the title of the first one, Swallows and...

The main font is okay - it's a bit hard to read, but if it's your peoples' typical script, I'm sure the locals read it just fine :-). One way to get the variety you need to distinguish easily...

12 gb ... Yikes, that's large. But I am not a PS user myself, so I have no clue if 12gb is unusual. Let's ask that as a separate question - in a thread dedicated to that issue alone.
