    Pretty impressive, however I do have to say that the hills are a little hard to figure out when they get close to each other, Have you tried to have long lines and small lines?
    Say, what's that star in a circle? At first I thought it may be a well but with the river already there I don't know.

    I can see what Elterio means. Otherwise however it's an interesting style. I think I would include more hill lines and vary their width a bit more so that they taper. Nice work though.

    Cheers,

    I really, really love it!

    Elegant and easy to read, very nice.

    Certainly a great style you're developing and I'm looking forward to seeing more of it.

    hi all, and thank you for your comments .
    The circle with the star inside is a statue ( I used to use this symbol in the dungeon )

    The hill are a problem for me too ... i don't understand what you mean with short and long lines ??

    Very nice map. The lands/hills could certainly be improved (maybe by a strong hatching as in the 18th & 19th century styles?). The rest is very well done anyway!

    And I found this Casus Belli plan with this kind of hatching :
