    No problem. And if you are doing this on the whole map, I'd suggest creating a new transparent layer, setting it to overlay mode, and do it there, so you can always turn off/change the effect at a later date.

    Oh, I'll certainly do so... This map has more layers than the multiverse!

    I misspelled Crenellation.

    But parapet was the word I was desperately searching for in my head and failing utterly to find.

    I love watching this city take shape. Can't wait for it to be complete!

    It is nearly done. This is a tough and busy summer for me and I'm working my *** off to fill in for people that are on "well deserved vacations". Still I managed to find a little time here and there to work on this map. I finished nearly all of the buildings, added some structure to the walls parapet and several other, smalle things
    I'm so glad that it's nearly done and I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. If I'd do it anew, I'd do some things differently (it looks way too crowded), but overall I think we'll have fun using it in the game (which is still it's main purpose!).

    I'll add some finishing touches tonight (like a scalebar, labeling and a few other things like finishing the docks...) and will post the final piece into the finished maps section. I guess that's how it's supposed to be done, right?

    Ah, I was wondering why there was so little progress. Cursed holidays and colleagues going on vacation

    Still love the map. As I said before if I zoom in too much it loses some of its charm, but a bit zoomed out and it looks brilliant!
    Those walls *are* huge by the way

    And yes, if you think your map is finished, you post it in the finished maps section.

    This has come along quite nicely.
