    Pixie's map has a few differences more than what he said...

    Main cities are marked
    The Town placement is not evenly distributed but rather they mark out roads and the clutter is from the names, not the towns
    The Borders are thicker and more graded obviously, but theres also a stroke right on the edge of them
    The rivers are darker and you can easily figure out that there are several basins your dealing with where as yours I can't figure out where the rivers starts or what basin their in even though there should be several.

    As far as the naming of your towns... I'm not going to read all those, but doing what you described unless you are a idiot savant with regards to names will lead to the names not looking right so I'd be careful in that regard.

    First of all I'd like to say that I'm using Mercator's map as inspiration and am not trying to duplicate his maps, so I'm aware that there are some differences.

    I'm not sure I understand what you mean with this, do you have any other way to do this?

    A naming language

    It's fairly easy if you're not obsessive about it.

    Sorry for the very late response but thanks for the link Durakken! I have read it through quickly and it will certainly come in handy if I spend some time on it!
