Other than the weird bump-patterning in the trees (which is a GIMP issue), I think it looks pretty good.

I'd say it looks pretty cool. I'm with Steel about the trees and I'm wondering - what if you doubled up the clouds render (new layer, new clouds, set the blend to overlay), then merge them together, then go on with the tut - how that would look. Gimp's clouds has always been kind of grid-looking so I'm wondering what sort of things can be done to get rid of that, maybe a ripple.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

Ascension, I tried your advice for the forest but came to no satisfying result. Maybe I will experiment on this in my next map.
For this one I just used another forest texture und put a slight bump on it. I think it looks better now, whats your opinion?
I also enhanced the rivers a bit, put a slight blur on the sea and added towns and roads (don't mind the namessince it's just a test map).
