I'll be adding hills to the NE, and the main city and surrounding outposts will be in the northern prairie. I'm hoping that will balance the mountains.
I felt they were a bit heavy and made a version with cross hatching, but the requestor prefers the solid mountain shading.

I've added hills in the NE. Also, just south of the hills will be a number of cities/villages that will use isometric icons that I hope will help. (When I look at the map it look like it curves "up" as you go north. The darkened tree trunks might also help.
I darkened the trunks on the W side, and lengthened them everywhere.
They were placeholders. The lakes are now as I want them.
