Hey! Thanks guys!

@Vellum, I'll be sure to check it out soon!

Here is an update on the map!! :

Kastraal 3.7.jpg

As you can see, I decided to cut off some land, as I felt I needed more sea water. I might be thinking about making a small island to the east, with a bridge connecting it to the city (perhaps putting the «Orc Ghetto» there? Similar to the slave prison in Dragon Age 2?) I added a lot more trees, two entrances and some towers. I tried to create a training complex for the anti-mages guards («Gardes d'Horus»). I might move the «Communauté de l'Erthiault» OUTSIDE the city (thinking about making a big hill, a manor on top of it, and lots of trees all around it, with a metalic gate surrounding the perimeter). I need to start making plow lands too. I really don't know where to start for that though. I'll have to check some tutorials for that!

@ditberlin: Perhaps you're right, I should think about making a legend instead.

New update!

These are what I'm thinking about doing soon:
- that little «prisoners island» in the east, connected to the main city with a long bridge.
- those plow lands (this will come much later, still moving stuff around!)
- create a «Legend» instead of names all around the place. I'm thinking of a scroll-like legend, as I have seen in some maps. Many scroll brushes are free to use (with credits) on Deviant art, might look into it...
- that cemetery, anyone have a good example of how it should look from a satellite view?
- A port. Thinking of creating a port similar to Magnimar's in Pathfinder...
- A public place (you know... like somewhere to hang people. Public execution. Public annoucement. Fun government stuff right?)
- A castle (with a «rich people» place!)


What do you guys think so far? Any comments for a beginner like myself? Suggestions?
