I can adjust the shadow angle and so on. Its just that in previous maps people have always wanted the shadow. Also I would use tokens for each house but if I rotate them to place them down then I don't get consistent lighting or shadows so a major part of this for me is to get all the houses placed with the same lighting. But I can do one with no shadow if thats what people want.

Right the first one is up. Now its a biggie at about 35Mb so dont all do a gold rush job on my host
Thatched Clear background with shadows.
It ought to load in a browser but might be better to do a 'save target as' on the link.

Let me know if these are good and ill look at tiled, slate and woodblock roofs too.
