fontwise i would go with north dagonauts or Evelyn's(except a little bolder). I think the deltalands is too hard to read.
the rivers running through south City are very confusing as a river seems to divide it into two yet it seems to connect pass of evellyn to the countries above it though this is very confusing. possibly take the river dividing south city in two out and put a bridge over the river to the south
i'm also not so much of a fan of the black arrows and would personally prefer some other way to connect the territories across the mountains
other than that i thiink the map is looking great style wise

Thanks all for commenting.
And I use photoshop CS2.
Someone knows what I could have done to my brush?
I have to paint over 3 times to get a good color....
Anyone?
Things that are done:
- Removed the black seaborder
- Changed the pass-througs
- Cleared up South City
- Moved the Small Town text
- Deltaland font as legend font
And, the Eviellan font cannot be made bolder.
It's the Fine Hand font, and there is no option for bold or anything like that.
I'm sorry.

Sounds like you've adjusted the opacity of the brush. Have a look up the top under the drop-down menus for File, Edit, etc.
Onto the map. It's a lot easier to look at now the colours are toned down and the text has been reduced. I personally think the font of purple is best. It's the easiest on the eyes for me.
I'm still not really a fan of the map though. While I've seen plenty of maps that have looked worse, it all looks rather uninspired. I haven't read the books, but is there a way you can carry some sort of theme over?
I'd lose the embossing look you've got going all over the map, I'm really not a fan of it. It's overused and adds nothing to the map.
Perhaps look into a more natural shape for your borders as well. They are currently very straight. If you can get more shape to them like the rivers I think they would look better.
See what others say. I think your map has potential, but IMO it still has a long way to go.

I think a big part of the maps looks could be fixed if you witched the colors of each continent around.
Red just doesn't look good next to purple and blue to purple isn't so pleasent either.
this is a good start for combining groups of colors together.
The triangle works directly across from each other.
ex:
yellow - purple (LA Lakers)
orange - blue (denver broncos)
red - green (christmas)
these are just common mixes of the colors together so you'd have to find what works best for you. Right now this maps colors do not gel one bit.
I would also change the font of your territories because the words on the mpa completely overshadow the actual map. The mountains look dull also.

you need more colors if you ask me, i mean you really put
or more Sub continents,
or the existing sub continents need another place,
like red takes that whole territorie from the mountens, and that beige color can be hit by blue if you play the game,
i mean, on the map you must can play now it looks an little bit on the Indo-china map, only is that map much smaller.
I hope you get what i mean cause the map is now to hard to play, if you ask me
look to the land you have rainbowland and south rainbow land but it is another sub continent, that looks me confusing to play.
people who can dutch can read the things under thit you can't? it isnt bad it goes not over the map.
nou dat was mn commentaar als je iets niet snapt vraag je top sgool maar
