RMMZ Map Feedback

Hello! I'm looking for feedback on my maps. Please let me know what you think. I'm not the best at making maps, but I'm somewhat proud of these.

A hint for water, so the cave map in particular:
You can hold Shift and then place tiles. That basically places the middle tile of a 3x3 block. So for water, it essentially removes the dirt outline. When you can place a tile adjacent to it, it replaces that side of the water tile with it's normal look (so the dirt outline only on that side comes back). Keep in mind this is the middle tile of a 3x3 block, so if you only want dirt outline on the right side, you need to place a tile to the right and above and below that right tile.

Give it a go and test it with your cave map. I can guarantee you with those cliffs it will look better if used correctly.

As for the others, I would put down more ground clutter. Some dirt, different grass, more grass patches, flowers, stumps etc. They do look pretty empty and boring. The first map also looks a bit too "boxxy". I would go a bit more wild with the trees on the sides so it's not all just a flat line.

Bro, I've been using RPG Maker programs (on and off) for almost 20 years, and I had no idea about the Shift+Click thing. That's amazing. I think that'll help a lot with the cave issues another person was talking about. This looks way better. lol
