    Had to keep coming back to look to find the things my mind was saying "something just seems...off".

    It is good, great even, but I do agree with some of the comments above. The fields & trees and stuff seem to have a slight bluring effect on them that does not exist on the buildings. As to the shadows...the seem almost all uniform. When I do cities like that in CC3 I try and put the trees on one sheet, the hedges on another, the walls & towers on a third, and the buildings on a forth. I then apply different length shadows to them to give the illusion of different heights. You also maybe might want to 'harden' the shadow effect a bit so they show up more.

    Thanks everyone for your comments. Nice with some feedback. I'll post a new image as soon as I have had the time to make som changes.
    Plan is to check the shadow lenghts (Have most of the objects in diffrent sheets so it shouldn't be a problem), the blurring and of course the "massive walls" issues. Oh, and of course the odd shaped houses. Will post a new pic later in the week.

    Finally got some to continue with my first CD3 city.

    Some of the things done are:
    * Added different shadow lengths for walls, towers, trees, hedges, buildings
    * Disabled most of the blur sheet effects that I had in the previous version.
    * Made the walls half as thick as before
    * Removed the odd shaped houses.
    * Added a simple border and a "places of interests" thingy.
