I think it looks pretty good. The texture over the whole thing is kind of interesting, but I'm not sure what you were going for. Right now I'm all about different kinds of paper textures. If you are worried about your German just type stuff into Google translate, it's not too horrible. One thing that I always struggled with in this tutorial is the hard edges on things, particularly the mountains and forests. Play around with noise, blur and feathering on your masks to get a result you like. It would also be nice to see a larger image to get a better look at the detail. Pretty darn good for 3rd map ever.

The texture is a bump map of the parchment texture I used as the border. However, I'm playing around with it a little, as it seems more like a painting texture than old paper at the moment
