It looks like the map isn't vised, causing the hard shadows.  That or you have no ambient light.  Also looks like you need to change the _sun_angle by about 180 degrees so the shadows go away from the sun, not toward it.

Just a quick question, how would you go about finding a good angle for _sun_angle?

I added an angles command in the new version that will tell you this, but since that's not released yet, here they are:
unit1_: 72 -25
pbsky1: 198 -65
pbsky2: 150 -34
pbsky3: 85 -38
pbsky4: 90 -30
riverscape1: 194 -26
arctic1: 35 -30

The _sun_diffuse light setting helps with blocky shadows, as does running a final compile (which includes the -extra parameter for extra light sampling).
