    I think my favourite feature of this map is the transition from desert to green land. It is very well done. A concern I do have (Similar to what I said in another map) is that on some of the green the rivers are to dark and difficult to see. While it is difficult to see it could be damn near impossible for the average colour blind person.

    Man, this looks like I made it...eerie. Even the dark outer glow on the river. No C & C from me really, it just freaks out my brain when I see something that looks like I did it...but didn't.

    That's a big compliment from you so thanks Ascension (at least that's how I'm going to take it ).

    I have fiddled with the Wadi's so they can be seen, done the rivers properly and tweaked the forest slightly. I also added some clouds to one version but i think they may obscure the river so i will have to leave them out of my entry. They do a nice job of showing the major areas of precipitation on the map though and the rivers that this causes.

    Not sure what else i can change now to improve it without inevitably messing something up!

    I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned the colour scheme. I think the palette is great. Rich colours that match brilliantly. Well done.

    Thanks Torq.

    Final version I think, added a new grass texture, a title and a parchment boundary (thanks overlordchuck).
