Which Forest Style looks better to you?

Yup, I think you've nailed it in the third, although now that Gidde's mentioned it (I hadn't noticed it before), I think you've still got 'floating rivers' maybe erase a a tiny bit of the forests around the rivers? Don't know...

Will do, there are some straight edges from the mask I used I want to clean up and yea there are a few river artifacts where I forgot to continue the path all the way to the coast.

Gandalf... I cant seem to make the pop up any more, I used a grayscale heightmap eroded in Wilbur and then bump mapped it. Cant seem to get it to pop much more... and the snow caps flattened them out further.

Try duplicating your bump layer ... it really helped when I had that problem.

Here is what I got and now you know the basic techniques used to get here, so if anyone has any idea how to get the mountains to look dramatically taller please do, but it is a point now that i can accepting the look i do have..

PS did i make the settlement text two big and could have dropped down a couple sizes and still be readable or am I being pick and not start over...

I actually think the size of the labels is good ... but the colors blend in a little, making them difficult to read. Maybe a little highlight behind them?
