You can use also a very dark green so clear green can be used for grasslands.

    My 2 cents, my artistic skills are very low :S
    I have tried that, but it doesnt make it look nicer..

    on the other side i have been thinking.. doe we REALLY have to know where the forest borders etc are..
    Its gonna be locations and landmarks..
    The map still has the domain/province borders

    the aerial map i used is the one from earth.. can you see the forest borders? (cerilia is most of europe and russia.. khinasi is northern africa)...

    I've been checking this website:

    http://www.flashearth.com/

    And in some places forest areas are very easy to distinguish using aereal images (like in Africa, South America or North America). In others like Europe is way harder, it's pretty green everywhere (and the green tones do not change enough there like they do for example around the Amazonas).

    So just playing a little with the greens and as you say, no need to have the exact forest boundaries.

    Light green (even a bit yellowish, grayish) for fields, grass, grassy plains, agricultural areas (stripes of brown, green, gray, ... when you zoom closer like on this flashearth). Darker tones for forests, sometimes a different texture for distinguishing between a lightly forested area, evergreen forest and jungle. Usually forests and jungles have same texture, but jungles are way deep dark. Evergreen forest in Cerilia have pointy texture, like fir trees.
