The Little Town of Iruck

[Torq]

Welcome to the guild Justintime.

I second what Ravs says about the map and about Pyrandon's tut. I like the map a lot.
The rougher areas, would do well, imho, with a bit of discolouration to show they are slopes. Maybe a brown to reflect the inability of the vegetation to grow on the sloped areas. I think it would help sell the height illusion.

Also, you might want to "raise" your border level above the "trees" level so that the border on the bottom would not have trees (or tree shadows) on top of it.
