Hey everyone! I am back after a long break!

Been working on this map here for about 14 hours or so, and I feel that it is
currently in a worthy state of being showed to you guys.

I am desperetly looking for critique on it, whatever that you guys can think of.
Especially on a few different points, namely;


*Roads. Are they too small? too many? wrong colour? etc etc

*Overall tone. Are the colours ok? Should I change anything?

*Busyness. Is there too much stuff on the map? I was going for tolkien-esque and I realize
that his map is -very- busy, with stuff everywhere. Is mine ok? I made it quite big so it
would be ok to zoom in quite far and still have decent quality.

*Flair I added three images to the right side of the map. A compass, a dragon and a skull. I wanted some flair to my oceans
as they are relatively boring. But I am unsure about the choice that I have picked. Also, any ideas where on the map they would look best? or are the spots I have picked decent enough? Any thought on them / any other that would look better?

*Text. How is the font that I have picked? I wanted a fantasy-like font but still being relatively readable. Also, should I be putting
any effects on the text? I tried the drop-shadow+outer glow but it just made it look weird I felt. Though I guess it would be nice to have -something- so the text does not look like it was printed onto the map, but rather drawn onto it and slightly faded with time. Ideas?

And of course, anything that you guys can think of! Please leave a comment, good or bad! Love to hear your thoughs on this map! It's my 2nd map here. Well, it is the same outline as the first map I made, but I decided to change style because I was not pleased with how the first one turned out.

Thanks a lot guys!


-----EDIT--- Is the different tropical regions obvious enough? Like in the north in Laressa & Thargon you have the pine trees, etc like scandinavia. And then in the middle is supposed to be like europe, and in the south - Griggzhin and below - it's more like spain and northern africa? ALSO is it obvious that the area between Thargon and Nidoria is a desert? Or do I need to write something there to make it even more obvious? Thanks!
