Looking for some advice on a WIP map

Some forests, yes. But probably not the sort of "fantasy forest" which is basically an untouched wilderness where barely anyone lives. Those kind of forests usually require a low population density. Although as far as I know, Medieval France and England still had quite a bit of forest cover left, but Azelor points out correctly that the largest forests appeared in specific areas (borderlands depopulated by warfare, mountainous or hilly areas less suitable for agriculture).

Fantasy forests generally have giant spiders, elves, dryads, or whatnot that keep them untouched, though. It isn't just that people leave them alone because they like the trees; damaging the forest would have serious and obvious consequences as a result of angered inhabitants.

Yeah that's a good point. Fantasy worlds definitely have different factors at play, even something as mundane as what lives where will have large effects.
