Hello Nautilus,

I'm not usually one who admires aesthetics in a map (preferring realism instead), but this one is both aesthetic and realistic in my opinion. It looks like you've used Wilbur for your mountains, and perhaps G. Projector to create the graticules. The city shown on the top right looks fabulous and I love your choice of colour for your altitudes (although I agree you should desaturate the non relevant areas of the map). The only thing I would suggest is to perhaps add labels to your map to show different information, such as the location of ports, ruins, resources, mines, etc. Everything else looks great, as if the map came straight out of an atlas. Bravo!

Peter
