Clean and very well done! I love the views displaying the development of the city.
What are the graphs near the districts for?

Thank you, I'm happy you like it.

The graphs are inspired by city simulation game and in this case would represent the residential, commercial, and artiginal sectors

Hi Impesio,

I totally love this map, it´s quite impressive with it´s clean style. You have great talents with that. I took a little time to read this map and the city as a whole and here are some questions, who came into my mind then:

01: It seems, that this city is located in a time like greec or roman Ages, so let´s say from 200 b.C to 300 a.C. (or a comparable time on your planet), is that right?

02: The city has its roots on the Old Theosaxys, I guess and than expands to the north when the Intramuros was fully equipped with houses a.s.o, right?

03: Why Bereistos was founded about 4 km far away then (just reachable by ships/vessels by this time)? Was it a settlement from another country/Kingdom?

04: Why then expanded Bereistos to the east, over the river which- makes it neccessary to build a bridge instead of just lenghten the streets?

05: The P2 Bridge has a lenght of together more than a kilometer with about 100 to 200m free spanning bridge. This project must cost a large amount of money and working power and indicates that the city or Kingdom was quite rich and powerfull at this time. Is that right?

06: The Builders of Theosaxys decided to surround their city with walls. The later City has no walls. What caused the city fathers to be able to do without a wall?

07: The late city has a lenght of about 13 km, the whole city an overbuild area of about 25 square kilometers, Rome at it´s peek in the old ages has about 20 square kilometers with about one million inhabitants, is your city a kind of an important and strong settlement of a great Empire or Kingdom, how many inhabitants does your fictional city have?

08: Does your street map show just the paved roads?

09: When you stand at the shore at Echekreon and watch towards Alvon, you have more than a kilometer of water between it. That seems to indicate, that there were two cities growing together later. Is that right? Why asking that? go to Manhattan/New York at the West shore with Street view and take a look at North Bergen/New Jersey, this is about one km of water

I would be thankfull if you would take the time to answer some of these questions, to better understand this city, so please don´t see the points as critiques but as pure interest in understanding it.

Very good work ! I find your city consistent, and I like a lot to see the evolution of it. I also like your color palette !
Good job !
