    Maybe if you diversified the mountains a bit? A the moment the mountains round the desert is barely "line" mountains, and while they do exist I believe they're usually straight and not so neatly curved. Maybe some "breaking up" would make it look more believable. Just a thought, otherwise, nice job!

    thanks ... concidering the remark from Diamond earlier, I've been thinking of changing the circle to two chains of mountains that meet instead - so slowly but surely I hope to get there. Right now Im working on making some mountains look higher

    So, I've changed the mountains and expanded the desert. I tried to place a scaled down rough copy of the city Breakwater (link in signature) but when I calculate how big it should be, I end up with only 2x2 pixels - so I'll go for some symbols instead... to bad...

    I have to say, I really like the style of this map. I'm glad you decided to break up the ring of mountains, too - I like maps to make sense, which is probably why Mordor, with it's very own ring of mountains, was my least favourite feature on Tolkien's maps. Have some rep.

    Maybe you could work on the rivers a little. Other than that, top!

    thanks - would you be so kind as to tell me what you feel could make the rivers better?

    Your main river seems to straight, Tilt. I'd throw in some curves and bends to follow the terrain, other than that, this is looking fine!

    I like the new version better. Don't be afraid to run some forest along the rivers. Riparian areas are more common than not.
