New Mapping Style Test

[ravells]

I've been playing today with a pure vector mapping style. In my usual lazy way I want to make maps as quickly as possible so I used line-styles to make city icons. Basically, you draw each building, put it in the linestyle, and then if you want a city you just have to draw a line. The software picks buildings at random within parameters you can set. The longer the line, the longer the city. Only thing is trying to find a style that fits with this sort of city drawing...I'd really appreciate any advice on what you think fits with the cities, what doesn't, suggestions etc. I've done a few variations but I'm not really happy with any of them, I think the last map (with the least eye-candy) is the one I like best so far.

Cheers

:: Attached some example linestyle cities so you can see them closeup. It's quite good, if you don't like the city you can just keep hitting the linestyle button and it will generate a new random one for you. ::
