    Post Cave Hideout

    So this is a small cave hideout that I made with Gimp and various items from variable sites. So tell me what you think.

    Nice little map, but the texture you used for the 'mountain/hill' is tiling very badly.

    A different rock texture and at least one escape route. Those two fires will fill the place with smoke pdq. The function of the outer chamber is not clear.
    Nice map though.

    Added rock texture that i think makes it look better and added cracks for vents.

    You could have an escape route through the pool if you wanted but I really did not plan to add one. The entrance is for the guards to stand watch. I decided not to but a fire pit their because that would give away the cave location at night. So the will post a guard but have no light. The rocks are for sitting on during guard duty. I could add more to that room but maybe i will if anyone has any ideas. Thanks for the advice.

    This is a revised version with more rooms added what do you think or is their anything that can be improved on?

    I added a room for a guard to stand watch.
    A room with hay on the floor that can be used for animals or prisoners
    Also I made the water flow off the map to allow for an escape route if desired.
