Could you take the gray fill, and run the texturizer filter over it with the following setting (assuming you have photoshop):
Texture: Sandstone
Scaling: 100%
Relief: 1
Light Direction: Bottom
Invert: No
I really like the thick black borders and clarity.
Personally I find a drop shadow with the following settings looks a little less like a shadow, and more like smudging:
Blend Mode: Multiply
Opacity: 100%
Angle: doesn't matter
Distance: 0
Spread: 5
Size: 10
Quality -
Contour: x=y (line at a 45 degree andgle up and right, the first choice)
Anti-aliased: No
Noise: 0%
Layer Knocks Out Drop Shadow: Yes
However, the shadow is personal preference, and as you have it now does look fine.
I really dislike flat fill colors; the texture helps add to the illusion that it's a handdrawn map on parchment.
I'm in FG testing the zonerect, it's off a little, but I'll have it perfected by the next official release.
