    For game use, a compass is generally a handicap unless the map is for a specific popular adventure module. All it does is place an unnecessary constraint on use.

    Label the scale box so it is obvious what each grid square represents.
    Added! On the compass though, I agree with rdanhenry for at least this map.

    Okay, I was busy trying to figure out how to do the interior, and the planning alone feels like I will overshoot the deadline for this challenge. Maybe in a version going forward I'll add interior objects to the rest of the main building.
    I added general shadows to the main building, and there is one or two tweaks I feel I still want to do. Still, it is getting closer to a final version for this map.

    Thanks for all the feedback so far! It really helped in pinpointing the direction of the map. Any last things you would like to see tweaked?
