Yeah, they are kind of covered by the forests. I'll try to make them more noticeable. Thanks.
I like the cultivated land, I think you achieved 'subtle, but noticeable'.
I think your mountains could use some foot hills (unless they're hidden beneath the forests).

Great map so far and the cultivated land is noticable. I wouldn't mind if it were made a bit more noticable though.
One question: why are there so many forests/woods? It looks like a lot of wood has been cut down or something.

Yeah, that sounds logical.

Made a few adjustments and added some more labels. Made the foothills around the mountains more noticeable and increased the opacity of the cultivated texture by 10%.

That works. The foothills are much more noticeable, and I had first missed the cultivated lands on the previous version (saw them later), but now they seem clear but, to my eye, still subtle.
I think, therefore I am a nerd.

I like it.
The only idea I can offer might be to loosen up all those hard-edged forest spots with some lighter forests, but it's just an idea and the map certainly works without it.
I did some extensive work on trying to soften up the edges of the forests. I used a soft brush as opposed to the hard brush I had been using. (Boy was that time consuming!)
I think the slightly softer edges help the forests blend in a little better with the terrain. I also tried out some lighter forest textures but didn't really care for the outcome. I think this accomplishes what i was going for.
I also reduced the size of the font on the rivers.
I think about the only thing there is left to do is to finish labeling the rivers.

That would be a hint for moi.I think about the only thing there is left to do is to finish labeling the rivers.
Do we have a way to denote marsh/swamp or heath on this map?
