It looks nice IMO but i think there are too many flowers :)

[Chakkra]

Way too cluttered with the flowers and shrubbery. I can understand what you're trying to do, but you are over doing it.

If you get rid of all of the blue and red flowers, it should look just fine.

@Robin:

> My first time seeing 7 trees referred to as a forest.

It's not the first time. Much like how "cities" are 4 buildings around an empty plaza.

About the map, geographically it looks nice, my only complaint is that it is a little bit messy with the small details. One rule I try to follow when I put down that sort of detail, is NEVER, EVER have the same object twice in a row; often times I'll try not to have the same thing on the same row in the same map. Your green plants with red flowers are not too bad, but the yellow and blue ones are too clumped together and too often on the same row.

This is essentially a detail issue about repetition; if you spread out the detail and use a little less, it goes a lot farther than throwing a ton in. Of course if you have clumps of certain things it's not so bad (like the mushrooms are made for that, and some of the vine tiles in Inquisitors are good to make a clump of flowers).

But also as Robin said, throw in a few more trees if you want to call it a forest.
