    Great start, and as pyrandon said, plenty to inspire you to play with it some more...

    Now, I'm not sure if anyone else knows this (it might explain some things for everyone else) but i'm partially colorblind (hence my love of black and white maps) but I can barely discern your buildings... the (i'm hoping) light red/pinkish color or maybe its a reddish-brown isn't all that distinguishable from the dark green ... and possibly the red intermediate road draws attention away from the buildings...

    here's my suggestion ... lay down a neutral color that covers everything that the city wall ( and river ) enclose... a tan or gray... make sure your roads come up cleanly on it... and go from there...

    just a suggestion of course... in the advice department I would place about two dozen other members ahead of myself.

    I look forward to seeing more drafts to these maps so Keep'em coming!! we love maps!!!

    This is a really excellent point and I would strongly suggest that people bear this in mind. Here are three websites that you should definitely visit:

    http://www.vischeck.com/ - Online tool for checking images
    http://www.jessett.com/web_sites/usa...lindness.shtml - Has a couple PS Actions that you can install and run to check images.
    http://www.stcsig.org/usability/topics/colorblind.html - Has additional information on colorblindness and things to consider.
    Bill Stickers is innocent! It isn't Bill's fault that he was hanging out in the wrong place.

    Please make an effort to tag all threads. This will greatly enhance the usability of the forums.
