    Thanks Naima!

    Here's a pretty big update with new buildings, texturing, and additional terrain detailing and props. I used a bridge, stairs, and some barrels from Bogie's assets (thanks Bogie!).

    I think I am almost done except for labeling POIs. I always struggle with finding a good way to number my city maps while keeping a clean look and making the numbers easy to see. Would love suggestions if anyone has pro tips.

    I think in a map like this you don't want the labeling or the numbers for the key too 'obvious'. I mean, you still need to see them of course, but you don't want them taking the focus off the terrain. What about circles in a mellow tan or gold color to complement the landscape, with a simple black stroke around them?

    Thanks Diamond! I decided to take your advice and go with small tan circles with a black border.

    I think this is my final version of this map. Here's a link to a high definition version.
