Interesting.
Its cool to see the layers develop. I find it interesting when a method emerges and I'm no longer trying anything\everything hoping something 'looks good'

OK here's today's update;
1) Finished majority of "Castle Ward" - some minor details still to be added.
2) Finished a good portion of the "Military Fort (Ward)"
3) Added more roads/streets & added some texture to the roads/etc. - still more to do here

That's a great castle shape.

I really like the grass texture - it's almost like gaming table baize. The castle is stunning, did you base it on a real one? The general shape is really nice.
@Ascension & Ravs - Thanks, it's based off of Windsor Castle... and the temple in the fort is based off of Temple Church. I'll be using a lot of "real-world" references for this map.
The basic land area is roughly based off of a map of Baghdad from the end of WWII.
Ravs - The grass texture is the "Just Add Bison" texture from Spiral Graphics, I use this one a lot.

LOL! Temple Church! I was a member of the Inner Temple when I was doing my bar exams and walked past Temple Church every day. I had a girlfriend whose family lived in Ascot and we used to go past Windsor to get there at least once a month...but I guess I never saw them from above!
OK here's today's update...
Started adding the noble 'estates' and when I needed a break from that I started drawing in some of the smaller streets, and dirtied up the inner grounds of the Military Ward.
When I decided to go the route I'm taking on this I knew it would be a lot of work, but phew... I'm not sure I'm gonna get this complete by the deadline.
Anywho...here ya go

If you do get it done it's going to totally rock.

This is looking really sweet, SG! I think you've got the bones of the map spot on - can't wait to see how you flesh it out with the detail.
I really like the way you make your buildings, but I'm starting to think you should do the walls in the same style...
