    Great crits and comments guys, thanks. Most of it is on my to do list, but my problem is time this month.

    To DO:

    Add realism to fields
    Shadows for the bridges
    Get rid of the paved anomalies at the river ends (which were not deliberate)
    Imptoved Roof Textures
    Finish roofing the city
    Break up the cobblestones some more
    Labels
    Additional single features

    I'm going to get as much done as possible within the time allowed, but might have to carry on after the competition is finished.

    Just make sure on your final that you can get us a nice hi-res version. This is a beautiful city, and I for one would like to chunk this into Maptool and have a nice little goblin/orc/whatever city siege battle...

    I would love nothing more than to have this map used for that purpose. As long as you promise to post a screenshot or two. My concern is that I have kept enough res in the bank. I'm using Gimp at 2144x2144 for the original but only 72dpi. I hope thats enough.

    Understood. I did not see a scale yet, but I expect it's probably to small as is to really be a "perfect" VTT map. RPMiller, Dorpond, or Torstan would be able to share more, but I think the suggestion is 5 foot =50 px at a minimum, with 100, 150 or even 200 px per 5 foot being the best.

    In any event, the map is a great piece of art no matter how you look at it and even if it can't be used very well for VTT, it makes a great player handout of a generic city. hmmm you might just have to get my vote for this months challenge again. argh!!!! there are SOOOO many awesome maps. It will be really hard to choose my pick for this month...

    Yes, it's a bit low res for use in maptool as an encounter map - but actually not as bad as all that.

    Here's a quick screenshot using this in maptool Any closer in and it gets a bit pixelated, but at this distance it works pretty well and would llow for some nice large scale battles. If a specific area was of interest for a battle, that area could be done in high res and imported in to patch that area - a bit like in Google Maps.
