Thanks for the comments.

The Lines actually don't have a meaning at the moment, I added them last night just before I posted the map and went to bed to see how they would look.

I hate my trees

I want to figure out a better way to represent my forests as I go, I tried a tutorial I saw on here (don't remember whose it was) using a brush style in PS that I liked, but didn't quite fit with this style.

I'll add some more variation to the mountains (and maybe that would help with my forest problem as well) this evening when I get home, I see what you guys are saying about the repetition (I'm happy with the mountain style in general, so some variants in the same style would prolly do the trick)

I'll probably do a colorized version once I'm finished, yes.

Thanks for the C&C

Oh, the Southwestern Islands are actually supposed to represent an area that was recently flooded/taken over by swampland (a magical bit of mischief by local villains [snakepeople]) .
