    The level of detail of your map is, as always, outstanding and everything is perfectly readable.
    Mountains are superb. Would you, one day, give us a glance at your working methods (tutorial\video)?

    Yep, not sure what to do for those. Hopefully some really awesome creative epiphany will just jump into my head and work itself out

    Haha, yeah, those came out good. Those were a bit more freeform than the rest, which is probably why they look better.

    My thinking was, to go more green I'd need/want to change the color of the dotted region lines to get some other green in there.
    I tried a few greens but they still didn't pop like the red. But I may keep trying it.

    Thanks Fabio
    Well, first I'd have to learn how to do the video tutorial part, then I'd have to find spare time in the week, which hasn't been much lately.
    It's possible at some point. I assume you are meaning how to do the light and shadow for the mountains..?

    haha, totally forgot to add the update.
    A bit more on the mountains and some curved text here and there.

    I like that curved text.
    I notice the mountains in the north are a bit fuzzier than the rest... if that was intended to make the terrain look less sharp then I guess it works? but thought I'd mention it since there is noticeable difference.

    Chashio - which mountains? Near what region?
    Some of them hadn't gotten some of the details lines yet.
    Those in regions Aghana, Lahaga, Shaga, and Behuguz are not done yet.
    Maybe this helps some - finished the detail lines.

    Good night, I don't want to think about how much time must have gone into drawing those mountain contours. It paid off though, this is just fabulous! The font and city icons work well with the overall style as well. Phenomenal work J!

    Cheers,

    I tried some curved text for mountains... I kind of like it but may still change it.
    Changed some city text size based on size of city.
    Added more mountain progress - getting close.
    And tried some color tests... which I sort of like and sort of don't.
    With color tests...

    Definitely with color, imo. Really makes those plateaus rise and the valleys come alive. The mountain labels are larger than I would have made them, but it looks good.
