    Dude, that looks spectacular so far.

    The bright yellow is plains, and the bright orange is desert?
    If so, an awful lot of your rivers and/or river branches seem to be born from low rainfall areas.

    Correct.
    Yeah, I need to go back and correct that, especially on those large central plains which are very dry, except where that large river cuts through from the northern mountains.

    This sure looks great. Yeah it would be great to have a river(s) crossing desert or arid areas spreading life to a very narrow strip. As you said, you need to be careful with the forests not to overwhelm the mountains especially. Repped

    Looking good Diamond. I look forward to seeing you finish this.

    A smallish update. I am so in love with TheImperial's SLUG map that I decided to try and do the text on this similar to the way he did his (hope he doesn't mind! ). I also fixed a couple of the rivers in that plains section, and added the rest in. It's a pretty arid, land all around, so there's not too many large rivers, and not too many forests (still trying to come up with a good way of doing those). I also experimented a bit with city icons - what do you guys think of them? Yay or meh?

    I like the colors, but I'm not sure I like the shape - its almost a perfect circle and then not ... I'd rather see a true circle I believe

    it looks like the circles are a little off - not quite round
