Overall, this is a a good map that should serve its purpose well. Here are my thoughts:The Good. Plenty to go on here:+Your coastline is nicely jagged, so that when considered hex by hex, as the players explore, it will look pretty natural.+I really like the coastal water effects, especially the jagged edges of the shallows. I'd like to know the technique you used there; it's something I've been trying to get right for some time now.+The lake and river basins are realistically defined. I love your big, chunky delta.+You've chosen (or drawn?) nice representative icons for each hex.Areas to consider for improvement:-Consider giving the terrain a rough alignment to your hex edges. A few of the hexes, especially in the river delta and along the coast, are in the water so much that it's a bit hard to see which terrain-type icon is there. You might also consider having the river wrap around the hexes rather than go through them, presenting the river as a navigation hazard that must be crossed, perhaps? Starting with a hex pattern, defining the land masses, and then roughing up the edges could keep the realistic look at the small scale while allowing your hexes to be seen more clearly.-The overall map seems to conform to the edges of the image a bit more than is natural. While the coastlines look fantastic and realistic when zoomed in to a few hexes, this effect diminishes when I zoom out and look at the overall image. The rotated compass helps some, but I'd consider having a bit more large-scale wiggle to your coastlines.-Consider adding some variation to each terrain-type icon to give the map a bit more organic variety. Subtle changes in color and shape would add to the overall presentation.-There's not a lot of thematic content here besides Krin's Landing. Consider adding a title, scale, and some labels or icons for other key points on the map. Terrain is interesting to map nerds like me, but it might be interesting to have a hermit's shack on a coast, or some hot springs in the mountains, or buried treasure in a hills hex. Some thematic text and art could help make the map more interesting as well.Overall, this is solid work! Thanks for sharing, and I hope you have fun with your gaming!
