But why?(she says as she starts work on a 3rd font because neither of the first two work for the cities in her map ...)

Well you may ask, Gidde! I'm getting font guilty now!!!
Anyway, I wasn't happy, binned everything except the river and have started again - this one will get binned too, but it's closer to the look I want.
Thanks for the encouragement, all! Being the slacker I am I will try to find as may shortcuts as I possibly can!
That's not being a slacker, it is being *efficient*! This is looking really cool, can't wait to see more

Cheers, Gidde, ( like the way you think, you spin doctor you!) I have this terrible habit of running with the first thing I get. I then get into all sorts of problems later when it's all too late to repair. As this map is so damn big, I want to be absolutely satisfied that I've got the right road / building proportions, the right negative space, the right 'scatter' of outlying districts etc etc before I move onto the 'prettification'.....I just love the prettification though, so usually rush through this stage....not today!
A little experiment with tiling textures that went horribly wrong, but it's given me an idea.....
Hmm..I had just downloaded those textures that you so graciously put up. I'm really enjoying watching this progress

A thought (I haven't read the whole thread yet so this may have already come up) - having visited medieval cities those orange areas in the original could also be plazas, open squares for public gatherings, marketplaces, probably not cemeteries although maybe, estate grounds surrounding large churches/manors that got absorbed as the city grew, etc.
As I said, just a thought.
