Suggestions
Well done terrain, even so its a bit on the smaller side, the way the islands are forrmed make it pretty well scaled at least for infantry operations. Also good to see that some microterrain was added so its not completely flat.

There are a few things that could be improved imo.

1.) The military base seems a bit small, could be 2-3 times bigger with some more quarters to house soldiers but also maybe some storage buildings.
2.) The military base could need a small harbor nearby, so goods can also be delivered by sea, but also to start patrols by boat.
3.) Villages all are pretty small, at least one bigger would be interesting not at least as point of interest, but also to add more different looking places.
4.) Is a nice looking place without any bigger changes done by man, no way i believe that. Maybe add a place where the trees are already cut with either for example a fish processing plant or a hotel complex in the process being constructed.

So you could have the cut trees laying around ready to be picked up, all kind of building machinery and material being ready to be processed to create the buildings etc.,
5.) Have some small agriculture near the civilian locations, maybe only in form of some gardens, so the population can provide for themself. It also adds some more useful detail to make it look more like a real place.

Maybe also some fencing for some farm animal near the villages.

These are really good and valid suggestions, thank you for taking the time to write them down, I really appreciate this a lot.
I don't plan to make major changes to the terrain by now because, as I wrote in the description, it was more a fun little learning project rather than a very serious one. Now I want to move on to other bigger scale projects I have in mind.
For instance, there is also some problems with vegetation placement that are due to my inexperience. They would require a lot of time to be completly fixed and at some point I have to chose how I use my limited time.

There is already a bit of agriculture near the villages.
A place with cut down trees could be done in the future as it would be quite easy to do actually.
Bigger settlements will probably not happen.
As I was making the terrain I also felt the lack of harbor for the military base but as I said I didn't want to spend much more time on it for the moment.
