Very nice additions! Now I'm looking at it again, I think the forests and cities may be a bit "pale" (or lacking a bit of contrast) compared to those great mountains. But I suppose it also depends of your next moves.
This looks pretty awesome. I like how crisp your rivers look and the icons for villages are pretty neat too.
Did you draw the icons yourself or are they from some other source like a brush pack ? (since i can see some duplicate icons on your map)
One thing that does bother me a bit is how the heavy lineart of the mountains seems to be drawing away the attention from the rest of the map, but i assume you'll be balancing that all out once all the elements are in place.

The icons was drawed by myself (I plan to use them in other iso maps). There are duplicated icons because I did not create the whole landmark at once but symbols that can be mixed as I wish to create the final "icon".
You are right that the lineart of the main mountain ridges is a bit strong... maybe I reduce it a little before end the map.

Yes, I have a layer of extra inking for that features, but sometimes I forget to activate it
And a couple of WIP images:

I like the updated version - the mountains look 'softer' now with the reduced line strength and added shadowing.
I assume you're using a graphics tablet to draw this with ?
If you're ever so inclined to make one, i'd love to see a step-by-step or even a tutorial on how you create your icons.
The contrast is much bette now, imho. Excellent banners and icons (what happened to that poor city walls?).
Thanks!
@Phanues
Yep! I use a wacom tablet to all the hand drawing.

Gigants happened, all the region was invaded by gigants... And you know, sometimes gigants get... effusive... if they don´t obtain what they want. :d
I expect to post the last WIP of the B&W process. I am struggling right now with the Illustrator to obtain the borders that I want...
