Cool... I think I've got that one... I thought it looked familiar.

It looks like your using a stroke tool to outline your text... Try playing around with an outer glow instead. Or for dark outlines, try using a strong drop shadow with its distance set to 0. If you like it, it'll give you an outline that starts strong next to the text, but fades out.
Also, try setting your fonts to "smooth" instead of "sharp" or "precise".
These are looking really nice, Nemm.

I'll experiment with the drop shadow again (I have gone thru many different unsatisfying versions of text I have not posted).
I am also in the middle of going back and re-doing large portions of my first map now that I have something of a system down and have got a lot better at maniputlating the topographical icons like mountains, hills and trees and things - and using the airbrush to fill in the land.
Going back to the original PSD file I am overwhelmed with the large number of unlabeled and uncombined layers which I got a lot better at organizing as I go along with the later maps.
