Ok, this is rather a neat effect as well.

I like both versions and the border is very neat.

Well, the final version includes both - I used the monochrome as an overlay to mute the colours a bit and take down the contrasts. I like everything in the same palette
Ok, I'm calling it done!

Absolutely beautiful, Coyotemax! An incredible amount of detail and it makes me want to wander around it. Lovely texture work too.
Thanks! The more I look at it, the more I want to flesh out the personalities who live there, and come up with things for our intrepid adventures to run into and deal with

The scale issue is still causing me problems and my PC ends up running to slow if I increase the size of the map to get it right in one image.
My solution so far has been to go back to the drawing board and live with the slow speed until I get the ground done and then hopefully split it up in to smaller chunks to work on.
I'll get a WIP put up later once my laptop can get net access.
Which reminds me, I finally looked at your map and saw what things were supposed to look like - woah
Definitely some differences, but i can't say I'm not happy with my final result. One of the big differences being the bridge footings.. yours are for much more height than mine, I was envisioning squat ones to stay level with the road, kind of like this. I just tossed in a few spaces between to make it easier for the barges to fit, kind of a hybrid standard stone/wood bridge.

Start small, then go big. I always found that trying something too ambitious will kill a project. that's why I ended up doing a smal/medium sized town for now.

Mine is the capital of an island nation that I'm building as part of a coop world build. I've been writing about this place for 3-4 months now and need to get my head around how it looks before I go any further with it.
Even if it turns out rubbish it still gets me further along the road and I can always fix it/redo it at a later date.
The only other place I've designed so far had about 8 huts and a huge forest so this is making a welcome change.
As for your map. I'm actually liking the feel of it more than Ascensions. His buildings look better I feel but I'm loving the details you've put on the road around the bridge etc.
