Love the heralds. Great work. I really like the color palettes. Rustic.

I agree, the shields are awesome! Not such a big fan of the mountains. It will be interesting to see how this will turn out. Keep it coming, Max.

I love this map. The mountains are very basic and simplistic, but seen on the map the whole of it is so much greater than the sum of its parts.
From what I've seen so far I think the heraldry will be what tips this map from good to awesome. As some have stated before me those shields are truly beautiful. I'll be googling tutorials for how to get that aged/weathered look, but the raw talent behind the symbols is what I fear I lack
Thanks Maquesh, I'm glad you like it. For the aged/weathered look, basically I applied some several grunge/ditressed brushes (light colors on medium/dark shields colors, and dark colors on light medium shield colours). On some shields, I adjusted blending modes of the aged touch layers to fit better.

Very first try with icons/roads/labels on southern region. A few colors will probably be added later on terrains and mountains

I thought about your mountain range comment Eilathen : I think part of the problem may come from the way the mountains don't stick together on certain parts. Here's what I tried to fix quickly (with some examples of what I tried to explain).

Better?
I guess you're right. I use to hatch a bit at the moutain's base, which make them blend better but for some reason I didn't do it on this ones. Hmm, I guess I'll go on and fix it with the flow I'll post an update soon with colours touch, we'll see if it comes up right.
Alright, here's a new update : mostly added colours, changed minor things on labels and added harbors icons. Comments are welcome...
