Are you trying to make it look like water or sky with the clouds?

I changed the Art2 fill as the one you choose is what is blocky and added an blend mode for the sky effect.

Don't know if either of these are what your looking for. Hope this helps.

I would reduce the font size and to me the white glow makes the text blurry. Mane change the text to a lighter color with a dark glow.

The black looks better because you have the political colors covering the entire area instead of just outlined.

For the profantasy videos what I do most of the time is play them as background noise and when I hear something that interests me or is some tip I haven't seen or want to use I'll pause it, back it up, watch it, try it out, then go back to the background noise mode. Works really well for me. Written stuff I really like in paper form but now a days they are all PDF's which works. I can blow up the display scale for my old eyes and can do searches but still like paper better as I can have it in front of me while I'll doing it instead of jumping between windows or digging my ipad out to read them on it.

Use both use the spectrum trees for the snowy areas and the darkland trees for the other areas and throw in some autumn spectrum where you think they would work. In my Endoria map I'm currently using symbols from 4 different styles even though the overall map is spectrum overland. Also using fills from multiple styles so consider using the snow fills from spectrum where you need them.

Her is a sample using spectrum, darklands and the HW together. And yes the terrain is the rusty metal from darklands. Thought it fit well for what I was trying to do for the area
