I have to agree with Max. 2 or 3 are best. Not sure which of those two is better. To be honest, i'd like to see both versions

worked on this some more this morning. I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with the trees on the right hand side. I think they give more flexablity, where I can scatter a few trees here and there, to help balance out ares. I'm also probably going to go with buildings for marker, over symbols. I darkened the oceans and seas. Not 100% sold on that.

I also figured I'd work out the text now, so that as I move forward, everything fits together.

Now that I look at it, I'm probably going to redraw the lines around the cost to be more natural looking. They are starting to look to stiff.

as always, feedback is welcomed.

I agree with you about keeping the trees on the right. The good effet you have is puting some trees between the mountains, so it looks very good.
Nice work !

Yup those trees looks ok with the mountains (though I'd scale down a bit) and the coastlines definitely need some refine here.

[Llannagh]

Good stuff.

I agree, the forest on the right hand side fit the style better, though I also really like the other one. Maybe you should add a little shadow underneath the individual trees to give them a "3d"-like feel. I think that would fit even better with those mountains.

Just "ok"? Kidding.

It's not so much that I don't like the left side trees, I just don't know if they work for this map. Quite possibly be useful for another map. Few more tests.

Thanro sound like Panama, only 100 times better!

This is coming along splendidly TimPaul!

They will be more than ok when they'll be scaled down
