Ostwyc, the Lion City

Wow Caenwyr, that is a beast metropoly. You have really put a massive good work here.

I totally agree That is a monster of a map.
Really awesome Pieter. Nods fervently.

I agree with the others. An awesome map!

Ummm... Two locations have the number 68.

[Caenwyr]

Gee thanks people, you're just too kind!!

Well poop, you're right! Guess I overlooked that in my enthusiasm to label the circus. Thanks for pointing it out, bkh! This means I'll have start relabelling all numbers from 68 upward

In the meantime, here's an update with the legend. Still many things to change in how it will be presented.

[Caenwyr]

Update!!

Toyed a bit with the legend, and added a shield too:



also, I spent the last two days creating a sideways view of the fortress, and only now discover that there's absolutely no room for me to put it in without absolutely crippling the style...



So I guess this is gonna be its only appearance for now. There's still some things that need to be added (like windows and doors, flags, dropshadows, ...), but these will be for some other time. Maybe!

Still gotta add a compass and a scale, and then this monstrosity is done!

Oh, and I gotta fix that double 68

Maybe you could put the picture of the castle in a low opacity either behind the text of the legend or the title of the city? If you do it behind the legend you might need another drawing to balance it up on the other side.

It looks fantastic. So perty....

Well, that's actually not a bad idea! But what you say is true: I'd need another one on the other side. And I don't think I have the energy at this point to pull that off (plus, which building should I pick for that? all the other ones are pretty straightforward I think).

So here's an update with some tweaks in the bottom part (and some very minor re-labelling in the map itself). And I added a scale. So all that's left now is plonk in a compass, and I guess I'm done!

[Caenwyr]

And here's the compass!

What do you think of its placement?
