Here are a few maps from Adventures' Edge. The Hawaiian islands where used as a base template for the islands in the game. I am considering adding AO maps to the materials; per a tip on blender artists. My laptop is still slow, but my desktop is extremely powerful, even if it is a few years old. An instructor of mine put my desktop together after he helped me select the parts. I speed up firefox by going into the about:config and lowing the javascript timeout paramerters. If it takes longer than one second, it is too poorly coded; because of the tweaks, my laptop seems to be faster.
The islands look like a good starting point, I'd definitely recommend adding those AO maps you're thinking of, for something so easy to create they tend to greatly improve the final look. Nice work!
