Westrock - My First Town

[Gandwarf]

That's a nice town map, certainly for only two hours of work! I like the houses and layout.

Anyway, some criticism/suggestions:

- There's a lot of docks for such a small town.
- The forest can be improved a lot I think.
- You might want to experiment with some different looking roofs next time. It will give the town a more organic, realistic look.

I definitely agree about the forests. I am going to try to find something that I am happier with myself. I kept tweaking them for 20 minutes trying to get it to look somewhat decent.

I also agree about the roofs. Need to make a straw texture to make them look more rich.

As far as the docks, it's relative to the world. The town is in a key position along the Wayfairer's Straight, which is a massive trade route. If you glance at the world map, it is the route that everyone takes to the dwarven lands on the Almarian Isle, as well as Torana (it's a major shipping port, similar in style to Venice, Italy, with the canals and everything). Most of the time, the piers are used solely for ships to lay anchor while repairing from storms or just to get a night's rest during a long voyage, and half the time the sailors don't even get off the ships.
