    It is a nice clean mapping style, but there is one visual driving my eyeballs batty when close up, the little hashmarks leading in from the coast, LOL. Not entirely sure why... maybe because for so many years of GM'ing I used those to indicate plateaus on hand drawn maps and my brain wants to make the entire thing a plateau, hmmm, makes sense to my tired brain and eyes anyhow. The mountains also seem a bit repetitious to me, but that is a taste ting also. All and all good work.

    Ahaha it would figure the thing I spent the most time on (the hashmarks) would be the thing that would get picked on. Not the cheapo generic fonts I slapped on there that I feel the most shame about, but the 2 hours worth of meticulous marking to get a specific feel. I am hurt by your words good sir!

    In all seriousness though thanks for the review and I'm glad you liked the clean feel as cleanness has always been important to me in mapping. I think this is, as with all maps, a matter of taste. What can I say, I likes me some repetitive stylistic stamping for my mountains
