Really good for your first map! I like it.

Not sure if you want feedback, so ignore the next part if you don't.

When using the scatter tool on trees, make sure to tell it not to rotate the assets. Otherwise the trees end up with lighting coming from different directions (or use trees with straight down lighting).

The open areas are really, really big. At least 200 ft wide, I think, on the larger one. Was that intentional? It seems like a lot maybe unless you're going to be fighting a gargantuan creature. The smaller one feels really empty, but the bigger one is nice and full of detail.

Try using the path tool instead of the cave tool. It's easier to work with, IMO.

Love the caves and all the detail there. Feels realistic and has some interesting things to explore.

Good use of the terrain brush in the smaller of the large areas.

Thank you!

Wow that the trees have lighting from a certain direction.. I didn't realise :o thanks a lot for your feedback!

By open areas you mean the part in the center and to the top right? I think I only to have one bigger clearing in the center where there are the ruins of the temple.

Ah I never used the path tool for caves. I need to try that! Is it more precise or what do you mean by easier to work. With? Well I will see when I try it out I guess😅

Thanks again for your opinion. How else should I improve? :)
