Noticed there are still areas where the terrain graphics don't match up with the actual terrain flags still, such as forest provinces with no trees, trees with no forest, and similar occurrences with mountains.

Yes i know, this was done intentionally. If you look, many provinces have the forest flag. For instance all the islands between asia and australia are small province, forest, mountain. So the map would be covered with trees if every province that has that flag would get trees.

The downside is that while the map appears less cluttered with excess trees, the incongruity between the terrain flags, and what's depicted on the map, makes it hard to use the map to gauge strategic movements. Wouldn't hurt to put at least one tree to give us a warning.

Ok tomorrow you get some more trees.

And that ocean blue has to be darkened.

You may also wish to check out the mountains: Provinces with the mountain flag should almost certainly have actual mountains in them, or at least a sizeable rock, whereas provinces devoid of the mountain flag should not have large mountains running prominently down their center.
