After getting a bit of help for something, I saw this area of the boards and figured..why not? I'm making a serious attempt at a map for once, and though I'm probably gonna add things like smaller cities, forts, caves and other questable areas if and when I use it as an actual campaign map, I figured working out rest of it would be a good start. So, this is what I have so far and am pretty much ready for other parts (rivers, lakes, forests, cliffs etc.) So, take a look and i'll listen to suggestions for ideas on the world.

    The first things that strike me is the shape. It follows the border a bit too much, making it look unnatural and rectangular. You should try to get a bit more of an organic shape on the landmass, don't be afraid to have large areas of ocean. Consider making the main direction of the coastline at a bit of an angle, instead of parallel with the border.
    The mountains on the other side also seems to follow the rectangular shape a bit too conveniently. Do you really need mountains on both the top and right edge here?

    Have you looked at the Jon Roberts or Mike Schley overland styles that come with basic cc3+.
    I agree with Monsen. If you need barriers, then consider hills and deserts or lava badlands or tundra/ice or combinations to make one side a barrier other than mountaisn

    Well, to that question, Monsen, In my mind, this is only a part of a larger continent, not shown yet as I don't know how much the world would be used. The mountains to the north and east are part of a larger range which walls the land out from the rest of the world. I suppose I COULD erase the lower section of the mountains a bit and put a forest or swamp there extending west a bit to indicate a way through the mountains to the rest of the land.
