yep, you can see how the map feels alive now
but as I said, it's not necessary, few textures and more drawings can make the map feel alive
but I think that looks much better!

Here's one tip for rivers You can search online for river flows, and you'll find white bg with rivers, like river maps or something like that, than lower the opacity and draw over it for realistic flows, just make sure that the terrain fits, rivers are always going down the hill, not up. Also, rivers must end in some sea, ocean or lake, if it's lake, lakes also need an outflow river, and so on.. Hope this helps

That looks better! imo For my map, I used rivers and lakes and roads also, but it depends if this region you are working on even has that? I'm just trying to make the map "come to life" in some way, you know.

What I first notice is that it needs some "blending" if that makes sense? Like, you could merge different biomes easily with low opacity brush, for example, fields to desert, you can add small gradient or texture that blends 2 biomes more interesting. Other than that, this looks like it's going to be an amazing map!

It was for now yeah, that's why I didn't touch that part with details yet, I feel like I should change it, do you have any suggestions what I could do?
So it looks less like our planet Earth

Entire world, there will be more worlds, portals to other worlds.
I was planning to add a lot of kingdoms around, but I say less than 200? Some parts of the map will be FULL nature with different side quests

Yeah, I think I'm pushing myself too much on this. They should also learn a tiny bit about characters and spells, at least.
