I'd perhaps use a more decorative font for the island names? As it is, it clashes a little with the style of the map. Why not use the same font as for the title, but keep the black color and smaller size?
Very nice. The nicer font do make the entire map feel visually more interesting. I agree that decorative fonts are no good for small text, but the names of the islands were large enough that it isn't a problem, especially not with that font.
I was working on the Erlands World template - a thing that took me well out of my usual mapping - but as I carried on, I found that I was enjoying more and more except for the lack of houses and cartouches. I solved that by borrowing from Mike Schley's overland symbols.

I find reading decorative fonts difficult when small, @Ralf but I'll experiment with slightly decorative fonts today and post the results.
How's this? I can read the Tolkien font - more or less!!

I like the Haunted Lands text. It sort of looks like a gradient, but I know you can't do that in CC3. I am guessing an inner glow.
I went down the More Fonts in the TSPECS (I think the command line is called) till I found one I that I liked
