A quick map for a forthcoming battle between the rightful king's army and our marcgrave Einar Geddar army (human militia, local garrison, our characters and a small horde of goblins, orcs, warg riders, northern wildlings and a bunch of ogres). Geddar wants to separate Södermark from the Kingdom of Lotia.
Vanilla B&W version.
And colored version with minor extra detes.
Any suggestion on how to improve the latter would be greatly appreciated.

I think they look pretty amazing. Terrific work.
What game system?
Do a third version with a nice darker hex grid. Then you have all the bases covered.
Thank you!
We are playing DnD 5e (2014) via FG Unity.
Nice to see this style being used for what it's intended for. I've only used it for deep undersea mapping so far!
I like the B&W version, but I like B&W maps generally, so am biased.
For the colour version, depending on how precise you want it to look, you could try making the colours, or some of them, a little more faded in some way - Edge Fade Inner or Transparency, for instance - although the way the contour lines don't align perfectly with the colours already makes it look nicely hand water-coloured.
