First city map: town of Maraudin / C&C welcome

This might be an odd question, but would roofs of connected buildings/rowhouses (from the front) look like this:

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

I would think the rain would pool badly in the spaces... would it make more sense for the roofs to be sloped to the front and back, possibly with dormers if you need windows in the attic area?

They 'could (and often did), look like this:

Thank you all for the good advice.

>> RobA, NeonKnight: I tried to create more "bars" of buildings rather than rows for the last blocks. That should make the roofs better at evacuating rainfall. However I do remember seeing in Scandinavia (Bergen comes to mind) many instances of roofs following the pattern /\/\/\/\, but they were probably built after the Middle-Ages (end of Renaissance?) and there were maybe some pipes to help evacuate the water.

>> Hoel: tack sa mycket for all the advice. I did not have the courage to re-do all the rows (and I actually meant to have an uniform-looking street on the main streets). I tried to complete the last blocks a little bit more chaotic.

As for the textures, I found myself unable to apply a satisfying pattern via the GIMP (which tells a lot about my skills with said-software). I applied the present textures with CC3: the backgrounds were changed to solid fills of different colours, and I applied the "texturise" sheet effect on their respective sheets, using some texture files from the "Shadowed relief" annual.

Next will be the adding of index and labels to identify the different blocks and important buildings... and applying the valuable recommendations that this assembly may provide, of course.
