Your map is good sir! If you want more "realism", I have one suggestion. Rivers dont divide, they come from higher altitudes and go to lower places, merging with others rivers in the process.

Also I think the scale of the different symbols are not perfect, I would put the mountains bigger and put trees and settlements smaller, but this is just my taste.

Be welcome to the CC wolrd =)

First is there any way of resizing the base map once you've started (expanding or croping the working area) without creating a whole new map?

Yes. Simply erase the entity at the MAP BORDER layer, and draw new ones at the desired position. The map is already infinitely large (Not quite true, but large enough that the actual size isn't an issue), the entities on the MAP BORDER layer simply serves as barriers for the drawing tools, to keep them inside an area of a defined size.
There is often a white polygon on the SCREEN sheet as well, which you will need to remove. This is used to cover up anything that extends partialyl outside the map border, such as symbols.

Thanks for the comments guys, stuff to take under advisement,

I think JimP got the idea of the divide through the marsh land, but yeah I admit, didn't really think through the river on the left hand side, might see what i can do with that.

And Monsen, thank you very much, anything that helps me crop and expand my maps is great. I think i put that river split on the right just because i was unsure how to crop the map that side and was unsure what to put there.

I haven't yet run the game this map is going to be used for, but already it has some of my players excited, so fingers crossed this is just the start of where i can go with it.

Thanks again to you all...

nice use of the mixed forest symbol in Nustskov Woods. I can never get that symbol to look right.

I agree that the mountains could be about .5 bigger or the trees could be .5 smaller.

good to hear its being used in a game. I would be curious to hear highlights. good luck!
