    Moving right along, I've made some changes to the city walls and added ponds & trees.

    From here it's just adding rockiness to the mountain area (and a few more trees on top of that), a cliff for the castle to sit upon, some farmers' fields and a waterfall for the temple. There might be also be a backyard islet or two that still needs a bridge.

    That's it for tonight; I'll finish things up tomorrow afternoon.

    Very cool. I like all the roads and paths. Makes me want to rework a few of mine, but I don't think I've got the time.

    After working full tilt most of today, my map is roughly 95+% done.

    I might make a few tweaks before I post the larger size later. The file I'm working on takes a long time to flatten or save and I'm off to work until later this evening. Here's a preview:

    You made some cool additions, like the hills to the west. Very nice!

    Map

    Thanks Gandwarf & Immolate!

    Here's the final at full 300dpi resolution, but compressed to Jpeg quality 9 to keep the file size down.

    This looks great AG.

    About the only thng that looks a tiny bit off to me is near the top of the map along the riever, on the west bank there's a few docks that look like they're higher than the beach area, kind of floating overtop. Or perhaps that's a compression artifact thing? I was originally going to mention about some of the bridges in the gardens that go over the ponds, at first it looked like they were solid brown, but I can just barely make out the planking now.. that's definitely a compression issue.

    It really is a freaking gorgeous map.

    This is absolutely Juicy!!!! Must have been a ton of work. Lovely road texturing - there's even a little tea-house on an island!

    Voting this month is going to be a real bear!

    Map

    Just a couple of tweaks before the deadline, as per Gandwarf's comments. The wharves & bridges to the islets have been fixed.

    I also decided to add a few pink cherry trees
