Thank you! I was excited to pick it back up and see if you'd weigh in.

I'm finding that I definitely have a kind of push and pull between wanting to fill in the map in an aesthetically pleasing way while also wanting to first commit to proper worldbuilding - and those are constantly in conflict.

For example, in the top left area of town is a wealthy landowner with a lot of crops, and his land currently sits on a raised area overlooking the town. However, the bluff eats up a ton of map area which also makes the west half of the city feel claustrophobic, and I think I want to radically rethink it. I also don't want to do exposed cliff faces - that feels like it just makes the claustrophobic feeling worse, even if it does give back more square footage.

I might have to push his entire property further into the corner, away from town.
