    The red lines for the air-rail are barely legible.

    I love your map, it somehow makes me feel good to look at it. It's probably the french, but I imagine it being built in the same style as Paris, only cleaner and less crowded and obviously in a different time… All the parks, and the big avenues … I'd like to go there

    Can we maybe get a picture of the whole city again? I would really like to see how the entire map looks now.
    And that's with great detail like "A COMPASS tells you which direction is north!"

    Thanks Lyrillies!

    That's good to know since I imagine Argona as a mix of big 19th european cities (London, Berlin, Paris mainly). And I'm probably influenced the most by Paris and "Haussmann rules", of course

    @ - Max - : ha, good to know! I'll try to mute them a bit less.

    Very nice. There are a lot of things to like about this, especially the colors.

    I think you have found a good balance with the shadows. It allows the blocks to pop out when viewed zoomed out, but still allows for the map to be read like a street map when zoomed in enough to read the text.

    I am interested to see the full layout as well, including your legend.

    You found the balance for the shadows! It is a smooth depth effect.

    How long to finish?

    No, I mean't they're aren't very legible. So they'll probably have to be brighter or thicker instead.

    awesome, that is exactly how I imagine it! So obviously you did something very right, since it really conveys that atmosphere. Very interesting how that is even possible with nothing but a few shapes, colors and names.

    As for the red lines: I found them to be easy to spot and follow. Doesn't legible mean easy to read? But there's nothing to read on those lines? I guess I'm not getting it, sorry

    A good surprise indeed, I would not have imagine!

    - Max -, I think I haven' been clear in my last post A new test for air-rail lines and "more brightness".

    I'm working on both labels and the fifth quadrant right now... so, still a lot of work!

    Here is the extended picture with the general layout of the Dökheim Quadrant (of course far from being finished).

    I used purple arrows for indicating stairs/elevators between the upper city and Dökheim. Is that enough legible? And the map globally?
