    Wip How's this so far...?

    This is what I have so far for my second map, any suggestions? I think I might make the bridge a bit bigger and add texture to the docks.

    Hah, I really like those trees.

    The Estuary Police are not overly unhappy, either, but there is some variation between water textures in the river & bay. I think you escape with a warning instead of a ticket or incarceration.

    So I am assuming correctly then that the roads look fine in comparison to those in my last map, right?(Ascension, Immolate, anyone)??

    Post Somewhat better...

    Somewhat better... I think following the shore or parallel to the shore would be better, but yes, this is better than your previous map as far as roads go.

    Since you're a new guy, you don't know, but this thread should really belong in the WIP Forums (beneath the Challenge Forum). WIP is work-in-progress, as this map you're now working on now happens to be.

    Perhaps a CL will move the thread into the City/Town WIP forum where it belongs.

    Somewhere on this site is a link to an RPG City Map Generator - I don't mean to say use it to map a village for you, rather let it place roads and buildings where they make more sense. Let me see if I can find the link... (I'll edit this post and place the link here, if I find it.)

    Here follow this link and download this application. It has some variables you can change, but then let it generate a city plan for you. Since town layout is random, you may have to let it generate different versions until its close to what you want. Of course you may want to tweak the random layout created to better match what you want. But it may be a great help to give it a try!

    Try this link:

    First mirror doesn't work, but others do...
    I was Googling for "random city generator" and this was the first result. I don't know this website, so use at your own risk

    Post Could be a browser or firewall issue...

    Could be a browser or firewall issue, as when I double checked my posted link, it works just fine for me - no idea, why Eabrek is having problems with it.

    The download on the website you linked doesn't work for me either.
    After clicking twice, you will get this as the download link:
    http://www.ksourcerer.org/24736/dl/r..._generator.zip
    I get a page not found...

    This thread has been moved to the Town/city mapping forum by the way.
