Gnomsulost - A Wind-Gnome town

[Meridius]

LoL, I just thought it was in gnomish.
Shows you that I have no grasp of any language. Not even English.

Lol, that's a good one... But us Dutchies are a wee bit too tall to pass for Gnomes I'm afraid.

Anyway, I think I'll keep it this way. I've been blurring a lot of layers at a 0,3 pixel blur, to make the edges just that tiny bit smoother. I've added yet more dirt, I toned down the little earth ramparts around the fields. I decided to apply Dutch grammar to the plural of Gnome (I don't know how to properly translate 'Gnome' in Dutch, so I made it a borrowed word). I already did in a part of the text, and fixed the rest. The last thing I did was lower the opacity of some layers (the fence mainly), and I've moved the dirt layer to below the trees (it somehow ended up on top of the trees).

I'll hold it in WIP for a little while longer to catch potential tips and questions, if any. But I think I'll move it to Finished Maps soon, since I've already printed it (that's a 32 by 48 cm (or 12.5" by 18.5") map!!!). Which may suggest that I consider this done. And if anyone wants to know how I did something, please do ask.

Attached are both my personal Dutch version, and and the English version. The English one doesn't have a function, other than this forum.

Edit for some interesting facts and numbers about this map:
- The legend and labels consist of no less than 79 layers (including 50 text layers).
- The map itself only counts 39 layers, including 2 unused.
- There are 2 separate files.
- Flattened map + legend and labels = 79.1 MB
- Map itself = 96.2 MB
- I made 3 textured sketchup 'models' to make the building sketches, these where made earlier, and I decided to use them in the map.
- The map itself is 2000 * 2000 pixels, or in camera terms: 4 megapixels.
- The map including legend is 3000 * 2000 pixels, or in camera terms: 6 megapixels.
- Excluding Sketchup models I believe there's about 40 hours of work in this map.
- I haven't monitored it continuously, but I've spotted Photohops 'scratch disks' take up as much as 700 MB.
- I printed this map at just over A3 size (or just under A2 size), using a normal A4-multifunction printer, a sharp knife, a metal ruler and some glue.
