I'll go adding comments:
First, is the title supposed to be Black and White?
[Edit:]
Also, the hills and mountains are quite difficult to differenciate. Perhaps making the latter more jagged and unhospitable? (emphasizing the fact that they are impassable)
The 'Gem of Hidden Wisdom' WoW does not appear in the civilopedia, is this intended? (all other WoW's built at the start do appear)
The Irrigation graphic is too obtrusive. You can barely see the terrain underneath (or rivers)

Yes, I've seen them by now, but they'd look better if they were less rounded, much more jagged.... (IMHO, of course)
[edit:]
Also, the top corner of the cursor that blinks when you move units overlaps the unit, you should remove it...

Even though I am in the process of making the Readme, with a dedicated and full credit list:
I want to give a special thanks just now to that one creator
whom inspired me to kick off the entire Bitterfrost concept.
That person is the hugely-talented FavouredFlight, the genius
behind the Moria, Fellowship and Return of the King LOTR scenarios.
Without his ground-breaking graphics, I would never have been jolted into creating a fantasy effort.
His kind permission to let the community use his cities and units as basis
for many new creations, has led to a complete revolution in my own work.
That combined with the elements and actual tweaked work from Catfish
and Fairline included with BF2 has opened a whole new territory for me!
Now I feel ready to add this kind of graphic level to my other scenarios too!
*FavouredFlight, Catfish, Fairline, Bebro, Will Keenan, Jim Panse*
I salute thee!

In any case, I have some more comments:
You might want to increase the movement of ships. So far I only have the caravel, but with only 3 moves not only it takes ages to move around the map (especially due to the size), but a 1 move land unit moving along a road moves faster.
I just discovered Monarchy and got Galeena promoted to Priestess. IMHO, her stats are too low. Perhaps some more attack, and especially an extra HP will make her more on par with the best buildable units availiable so far. (A countess is 5/5/1 2/1). I'd put her (I don't know the stats of the other civs' units) more on par with the other heroes... (Bhurkis, Othmok, Goldfist, Irene and Lopaz I've got so far and they've got 4/4 or 6/6 HP/FP)
On most parts of the map, the 2 moves of the mounted units goes to waste... Why not something more close to 4?
Also, exploring is a PITA. I'd pay to have some explorer-like unit with 1 move that treats all terrain as roads (but doesn't ignore impassable terrain).
I've noticed that peasants can traverse mountains. I suppose this was intended so that they can improve said tiles, but it leads to easy ways of traversing mountains: the Bursars can get to the cities between Blackhand hills and Mortiis river as fast as the Coven if they want to. What about disallowing this? If you wanted to improve Mountains, you can always use Engineers (when they become availiable)
Nedlings can traverse mountains as well... I bribed a few of the Barbarian cities (Ishahn's gate and Toth's gate) (and quite cheap, too) and got some very useful 3 movers that can traverse mountains... Maybe you'd want to at least make the bribing more expensive?

You do realise there are three other species of ships?
All of them get faster and more capable....
If you reaserch 'Naval Superiority', capture one wonder,
and build another, you get 4 bonus movement to ships...

My goodness! You are a brave one!
The kings and queens are not meant to be used in battle!
They are meant to be protected...Not used as attackers...
I have plans to reduce the capability of certain leaders...

Or why not build some roads or lure your enemy to the open plains?

They are called archers!
Do you wish me to change their stats to one-move, all-moves-as-roads?
I was toying with that idea...

Another idea that makes sense...
But it means you will lose the ability to mine mountians early on.
I guess the advent of engineers means better mining too...
I will fix this at your suggestion...

OK, Nedlings will be more greedy for bribing!
