    Looks pretty nice to me...the mountain symbols may be a bit on the 'heavy'/thick' side.

    Are you going to add forest, swamp or hill symbols?

    Really? Hmm, I could decrease their opacity, would that help?

    I would love to but I'm unsure how to go about that. Forests are easy, just make a Tree symbol and dot it around but Swamps not so sure.

    I like the colors and I can see a fancy frame really setting this off. Something about the mountains is a bit off, not sure if it's the thick feel or the darkness or the black color of them. Maybe try a gray or something in a dark brown. Maybe it's the repetitiveness, shrug. I'm really at a loss but the main thing is that they are too prominent and stand out too much.

    I'll see what I can do for a nice frame

    As for the mountains Here's a quick change over to more of a gray (still working on a brown).
