the City-Kingdoms of the Hareshk

Of course these mountains fit well but overall the map is very similar to Elyden's one. Maybe this was done in purpose?

not intentionally. If anything i want to try and move away from this style, if anything, just to try something different. its not exactly the same, though granted, it is very similar. Hopefully, the next one...

I would put the degrees inside the map. For me they look a bit displaced on the rim side of the heraldry boxes.

The labels are a bit undisciplined over all. They are set in different distances to the city points.
So you could have an eye on it, that letters don't interfere with the longitudes.

I'm actually looking at these at the moment. Probably better putting the graticules inside, and I'm trying to move the text to get it more legible and stroking it (hehe) to make it more legible around coastlines and mountains. I'm also going to try draw a proper old-school-style graticule and map symbols, though we'll see...

... and stroking it (hehe) to make it more legible...

What does mean stroking in that case?

What does mean stroking in that case?

probably best not to say

Well the map is getting close to finished now. I spent quite some time coming up with the cartouche ( i really need to start managing my time better - I spent the better part of the day working on it and was hoping to get it done in far less time than that). I just need to add the forests and other grassy features like marshes, maybe; and if manage I'll try to brainstorm some city symbols since I'm not altogether pleased with the current ones, as they're rather boring.
