Nice map, especially for a first try.
From a first quick look: you should make the symbols for the towns "pop out" of the map in the same way like you did with the roads, at the moment they go mostly unnoticed, i think...
I stumbled across this site some weeks ago and was amazed by the quality and beauty of the maps created here.
I am listening to A Clash Of Kings on audiobook at the moment and though it would be cool to make a map of Westeros and the Free Cities. This is the first map i have ever done. I am am using parts of Pasis tutorial to make the mountains and the forest.
So far only part of the Free Cities is done, but take a look and tell me what you think =)

Conversation at university while writing our group report:
"I'll make a map." - "We don't need a map, we only interviewed some people." - " I know, but it won't stop me from making one."
Thanks =)
I have been thinking about that, but not sure yet which icons to use
I didn't mean the icons themselves, i think they are ok, i'd just colour them different.

After some time i redid it all from the ground up.
