    OT: I think you should put the building/city icons behind the trees... just some perspective issues
    What a fine idea!

    I'll will put some trees above the building layer.

    Oh have some humour

    On a serious note, I do like the colours of the map and I'm also wondering if you'll put a scale on the map later?

    I think trees and cities are finished. I added a first idea for a border and for a font.
    I'm thinking about adding coat-of-arms for provinces.

    Looks great! I like the feel of this map. Great colors and I think that font goes well with it. There is, however, one tower that looks like it should be behind two trees. It is located left of the large mountains just west of the center of the map.

    Thank you!
    I spotted the tower, thanks.

    It has been some time that I worked on this map.

    I added more details like fields and labels. I think some creatures might be a nice idea for this map.
    The labeling causes me some headache, I try maybe white labels like the title.

    I really love this map, it looks amazing. I understand what you mean with the labels. I don't know how it'll look, but I would try white labels. The white bordes around black text don't really seem to work for this map.

    Hehe, great map, I love the cartoonish feel. The colors go well with it and when I saw the first image in the thread I thought, wow, this would make a great background for a game of Centipede.

    Thanks, Saule and Jax!

    I added some shields and changed the labels from black to white.
