Wonderful map. Seems like it took much time to create. I agree with SG, the other possibility is to change it to a greyscale map.
Edit: What are those black squares in every building?

They are chimneys.
I was thinking of colouring and shading the roofs and then adding some extra drop shadows on higher buildings to better show the multi-levels. I wanted to redo the landscape and streets now that I am better with textures. Put some boats in the harbour and so on. The chimneys will blend better once it it coloured and shaded. I can always make a greyscale version from there. (Just for you Katto)
I am hoping to turn this into something really special.

Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work I go..
Made a start on colour and shadow. Whole map and detail attached. Comments and critique invited.
Edit: I aslo added a version that is just the colour layer so that the back ground is not distracting the eye.
