I've made the cathedral face west to east, and shortened the buttresses.
I'm not a civil engineer, so I can't decide which walls need buttresses and which ones don't... I'm going for aesthetics here.
really like this. nice layout and buildings are great (especially the cathedral). I think the green buildings are a bit out of place color-wise...

I like big buttresses and I cannot lie.
Looks better for me and you got yourself a nice square in front of the cathedral

Looking really nice!
I hope you have an automated method for the shadows (and if so, I wonder what it is). All them big buttresses just bought you some extra worktime for shadows.

i am digging it!
but i have a question. What is the reason for the square section on the northerly wall? It looks like a little small enclosure, but i am not sure what purpose it serves.

It looks to me like an improved gate. This type of defensive structure is usually two gates one after the other, usually the second at 90 degrees from the outer gate for better defense against siege. Japanese castles always include these types of gates.
Don't mean to second guess the mapper here, just that's what it looks like to me.

Could be. There appears to be a road leading to it as well.
BTW, I'm sure you know and have a plan for it but there are some shading issues on the smaller buildings. Just wanted to point it out on the small chance that you might not have noticed/thought of it.

Hopefully, I took care of most of the shading issues. Yes, those are improved gates... I added another one to the east side of town.
So, these gates are intended to make invaders have to make a 90 degree turn? I didn't think of that... I'll have to work on it.
I'm probably going to add a castle to the south side of the river. This is turning into a major under taking.
By the way, Rosencrantz is five miles to the west along the river.
