    I like the way your buildings are turning out as well. You would have gone nuts if you had tried to do them individually. I would like to know how you created them as I think they look rather effective.

    @ Aval - The river does play a part in the history of the city, mainly tradewise, and while it is large it's importance is overshadowed by several larger and more prominent rivers in the Dal Lands.

    @ Jaxillion - The buildings were painted using the tut done by Talmariel, found here http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...Town-Map-in-PS . Talmariel's results were a lot cleaner than mine but I used a different set of layer styles, will be trying to use his method again in placing features on top of the buildings e.g, gardens, roofs, etc.

    People come and people go. I walk amongst them, I see their faces; but none see mine. I pass them in the streets but nary a glance is spared my way, for what interest would they have in a Wanderer? Not of this world... Forever Alone... Forever Wandering... LoneWandererD...

    Alot of small changes here. I put in the bases for the lesser buildings in the Shi'Kia Terada'al, the rest of the space will be used for estates and gardens. Added a small wall to the tops of the common buildings, it's kinda hard to see but when you compare them to the newly laid buildings you'll notice it. The buildings look a lot liek the walls at this stage but that will change as i add roof gardens and such.

    Fiddle with the land to add a little more detail and to make the transition from water to land a lot smoother. The changes aren't all that noticeable because I really had to lower the resolution to get the map to show up on this site.

    Will spend more time cleaning up what I haev before adding new stuff.
