    Mmmmm don't know, the new mountain symbols are lovely to be sure, but they still don't somehow 'fit' to my eye...it's like their floating above the map. Would you mind reducing the opacity of the mountain layer to about 60% and reposting? I think that may help, but until I see it, I won't know

    :Edit: Wait! I think I have it. The political borders don't really bear any relation to the mountain ranges (which you would expect them to). Try running the mountain ranges along the political borders...

    Then again, maybe it's just me thinking that handdrawn mountain symbols just jar too much with a modern atlas style map.

    Try using a dark brown color instead of the black...on the fonts as well. Might help it all blend together and give it some aging.

    OK,

    Now I've used a dark brown colour for the mountains and names. I've also run the mountain ranges along the borders.

    If this isn't it, I think ill still post it on the finished section because I think there is nothing more I could do to let the mountains fit.
