    I like the style you've chosen for the mountains and how you arranged them. Very nice!

    I made some decent progress today. I'm playing around with the fonts a bit, trying to find something I'm happy with. I'm also trying to figure out what I want the city town symbols to look like. I'm probably going to have to draw something myself.

    If you're in need of easy inspiration, I found a pretty nifty way if making Icons quickly. Find a font you like, and combine letters of that font in mirrored or rotated form. Here's a sample of some I came up with. Each symbol is a multiple of one number or capital letter duplicated and mirrored and rotated, then flattened and given a stroke. See if you can guess what the letters are. I think something like this would work well for your map, or at least create some compelling shapes for you to bounce off of.

    The map is awesome, I like the colours and brushes.

    Slipguard: Those look fairly nice! Will have to try it out myself.

    Spent the morning fooling around with structures and political borders. Not sure about the results.

    The towns/structures are from Ramah's brush set.

    I've always enjoyed your work cereth and this one is no exception. Starting to look like a commision that would be well worth it. Bravo, repped.

    Nice buildings. They work very well for your style. Here's some rep!

    I like the buildings (especially the wall), but it is a bit difficult to see any details.

    The townbrushes fit really well, but they are indeed to hard to notice, may look like hills instead of houses.

    I think it's just about perfect. At this scale the buildings are visible but not too big. Nice Job !!
