Thanks a lot for the comments rep and critics about the maps everyone
About labels that's true they didnt blend perfectly well with the style of the map, i'm more into sci-fi style and labeling with a "medieval" style map was quite difficult for me.
About the upper left thing, yep it's a cemetery Diamond i used a technique blending an aerial view, filters and painted textures for that one and a few other elements.

For the roofs i only use classical layer effects: drop shadow, inner shadow, colors, textures and bevel. The bevel effect is quite cool to draw roof for square shapes, but a bit ugly on complex forms, the church in the middle in particular was a bit a problem.
