I agree Baziron. The rivers would seem to be the logical places for people to gather in that region. They might even be the lifeblood of its economy.

I restarted with a 1400 sized one, so hopefully that's enough. I'm not quite sure how to do the scale, everyone's should be similar (I think?) but I can't grasp whether I'm putting a sprawling metropolis over a massive area, or just a city .
I got it from the tutorial, but I'm going to have a go and try to see if I can make it work by myself... Probably using what you just said though :X
Also, I was thinking that the North would be depopulated, but I might add a few abandoned or at least ruins, it is really near the plagueland center.

Hey, look on the bright side. All those abandoned towns, villages and cities are adventure magnets. Who knows what's living there now. And of course someone left a treasure.
There's a woman who rode a motorcycle through the area abandoned after Czernobyl. Well, maybe... but the pictures are interesting.

Hmm, do you know where I can get some symbols for that? Mostly I just want some city symbols, but really I only have found one so far. That goes for anyone who knows where to get some city, or similar, symbols. PLEASE

AFAIK, most of them are ttf fonts (like wingdings). Just use them as text once installed into your system.
