If you don't get any takers in a few days, I'm up for it.

Here is what I have -
Fractalized the coast a bit more, and put in the rivers.
There was a small river by Ponesia that connected two other river systems, (unless it is a man made channel/canal), so I removed it.

Tiny update-
Started building up the terrain masks, and testing a forest fill pattern, similar to the referenced map.

I'm really loving how it's coming along, looking very good!
And let me just say, thanks for doing this, it's very much appreciated and I'm confident it'll be a pretty big help with the story writing
Tweaked the forest test a bit, but added in mountains using Wag's brushes (narrowed and converted to RGB, i.e. filled in so they could be over/under painted).
Too many mountains?

Alright -
Here we are.
I took some liberty with the forests and desert areas.
The referenced map had geopolitical colouring, not sure if you have those or not.
I've labeled the marked cities, not happy about the font but it was a test of a new one (might be better for water features...) I can change it if desired.
Any suggestions/changes/comments?
Want a compass rose? a border? a scale?
I ended up redoing the mountains because I had painted them on the city layer (bad RobA - not paying attention again...)
