How to make the overworld
I have done some "wilderness generation" in FAangband by having a base type of terrain for each biome type, and then adding "formations" (random groups of selected other terrain types) and then maybe some other areas (grassed clearings in forest, for example). FAangband has discrete wilderness levels, so the scaling/zooming doesn't apply. I am, though, coming up against similar problems to yours in Beleriand, which has a fixed world map with set biomes at the top level, but has to fill in all the terrain in a natural way. Note that Beleriand is still in its very early stages.

Angband vs uMoria vs Sil
It's worth mentioning that First Age Angband makes much more of an effort to keep the Tolkien lore authentic.

Angband Variants
UnAngband is in the camp of "closer to Tolkien" as opposed "retheme totally so as not to desecrate Tolkien by mixing with random pulp". And not 10 years dead. :) https://github.com/DGoldDragon28/Unangband
