Desert shrubs, I would think.

Thanks for the comments guys...the trees are supposed to be shrubs, etc. like Valarian suggested. They probably still need a little bit of work, or I may swap the texture out if I can find one I like better.

The "swamps" are supposed to be desert depressions (I think they're called wadi's?)

Not to thrilled with the city icons at the moment, I may substitute a ruined tower or something in place of what I have now.

@Arcana - No problem about the multiple entries, that's why I posted it the way I did. So please go ahead and move my original entry out the regional map WIP area (or wherever is appropriate) and update this thread as my entry. I've taken more of a liking to this one...especially since it's a bit different than the norm.

Wadi's are just dry river beds. In the rainy season they flash flood and become rivers again for a while. The swamps are probably better the dust basin / sinkhole type formations. Loose sand collecting in bedrock depressions but not compacting. Very dangerous.

Thanks for the clarification, I didn't have time to look it up so I was just guessing on the whole wadi thing.

Sink holes/"quick"sand or whatever you want to call them works for me.
