Hmmmm... let me think.
First at all, map is looking a little... simple. To make it more realistic, make coasts and mountains more curved. Secondary make more forest as so much clean grasses looks lonely and empty. Add rivers. Dont forget about a dungeons zone if you have to make them at that map exacly. Both town are looks well, so there is no advise. Just build them ;)
Actually, when you will finish it, your map will look like well. I hope it will be good as our own.

Wish you luck!

So people do not abuse it. Use BBCode instead.

Well, congratulations to you, RoninGT, and that wonderful map you've built from scratch. As my imagination rounds up sometimes with some logics and real-earth facts, I have a few things to say, but are given to be taken as plain, mere suggestions. So here I go:


-Empty seamass looks odd (Also around the volcano) rather from being adventurewise boring for the players who want to explore in the middle of the ocean. An "Atholon" (I really don't know how to write it in english, but those are where the mayor nations of the world do their nuclear tests, like Jacques Chirac did in his era) or some lost continent would diversify the landscape, also adding chances to perform another culture, apart from the main land.

-Your northeastern island looks above from great, thanks to the little shards of snow that float around it, creating a nice chaotic, earth-heating perspective. But there's something that ponders my hearth with doubts and grief: Why the snow island inhabitants are so great architects? Perhaps you could add some lore on them to justify their almost perfect-made roads

-*This is barely understandable, but I can give more clear explanations if they're requested* If the "Island city" inhabitants were wise and war-minded, they should have settled themselves where the strategic inner sea starts, not at the edge of the gulf...Or am I wrong with the war-minding?


We're all open for good critical points of view, so I hope you follow working on that amazing map. Farewell

Smooth out the coastlines a little, they look kind of choppy. Otherwise, looks good!
