Yeah, you should post it up, really... it's the only way you can get feedback.

Just use my tut and make changes where you see fit like CM did. Anyone can do it.

Completely agree. My problems lying in the sheer size of city I'm trying to create. Everything runs that slowly that by the time I've got to about point 34 on the tutorial its taking a few minutes to make each change so I've no idea what it would be like once I started placing the houses etc.Just use my tut and make changes where you see fit like CM did. Anyone can do it.
Once I get the starting point right I'll be laughing as the rough drafts I threw together to make sure I understood the tutorial before diving in head first looked good. The difference was they were about a tenth of the size of the one I'm trying to work on now.
That's some big jumps you made there! I was kinda worried you wouldn't finish. It looks great! The cartouche is awesome as are the fields, the layout of the town, the hedged farms, etc.
My only nitpick: some of the red labeling is difficult to read. Maybe add a more pronounced glow or stroke?

I left them with no glow/stroke when possible, and used subtle ones that blended in (more or less) as needed.
Which ones in particular? I'll deal with them right now

Ok, I reuploaded the last version. Changed the font to be more black, and put a light beige stroke.
I was hoping it would work with something more subtle, but ohwell.

Much, much better.
It's very hard to make red for labels work.
