Baziron's HT&T (handdrawn towns and thorpes)

[Baziron]

So here's a modified map of Eiganyo - I used photoshop to roughly colour the districts to show what's where and the stars denote special places. I used the SimCity colour scheme (Green: Residential, Blue: Business, Yellow: Industrial).

I'm still ways from drawing the actual buildings - has nobody any advice on the scale issue?

Nice postings! I really enjoy them--especially the far eastern theme (although the actual layout of the mpas themselves does not represent this region--should it?)

As for scale, what is the issue you are speaking about?

I don't really grasp what you mean by the layout representing the far east... but maybe it's this: With Eiganyo, yes, it is F.E. themed (the map itself being loosely based on Kyoto). Eburesh is in the same region, but was build by western immigrants, so to say. And the refuge is in a completely different spot altogether.

The scale issue is: With Eiganyo, my first guess was that 1 square equals roughly 90 feet - squares being those on the grid paper (which turned invisible, though ). You can still see some +'s at the down end of the map, the space between them is five grid squares.
I don't know whether that's good or not, but "big" feels right for a city built as the capital. My major worries are misproportionate buildings, and places, should that be too much; and a nutshell of a capitol if it is not enough.
