Mountains were made using a slightly modified version of the brush and layer style that areonox posted up in the thread I mentioned. So the majority of the credit has to go to him for that. I just tweaked the settings for blending options a little.

I agree that I like your mountains, Soixante; they are not as pillowy as many of this style, and so they come across as much more authentic. The color scheme of the entire map is a bit too washed out/pastel for my taste, though; this is just personal preference, but I would add an adjustment layer on top and play with the levels, just to see if anything good comes of it. The brightly glowing white coasts may also add to this effect, too.
I myself do not mind the dots for the cities and such; they are clean and simple, which is just fine!
Overall, I like it! Good work!

Here's the whole map zoomified, if anyone's interested: World of Charun.
It did end up a tad too desaturated in places, but you live and learn. I'm still pretty happy with it, considering it's my first map ever and also my first big foray into Photoshop.
Hi there.. I like the style and all.. and I would like to know which fonts did you use for the labeling?I would be glad to get my hands on em...
For the labelling, I used a font called 'Ale and Wenches' (best font name ever?). You can find it on http://www.dafont.com/, I believe.
Found it! Big thanks, I will probably make good use of it!
