That is an amazing map.
Very nicely done.

"...sometimes the most efficient way to make something look drawn by hand is to simply draw it by hand..."
The tune that I always find myself humming on city maps goes something like this:
Darkness, imprisoning me.
All that I see, absolute horror.
I cannot live, I cannot die.
Trapped in myself, body my holding cell.
I'm sure Arcanna knows this one.

If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

Hah ha!!!
I hummed a few different ones, they changed when I stepped away from the puter and came back to it. One was an ELO song - I don't even know the title of it. I have no idea why it popped into my head, there was also a Beatles song - 'Penny Lane'. I can see why the slaves who worked the fields used to sing. It really does make repetitive processes go faster.
Thanks Devin!
Labelling almost done - nearly there: Yay. Have to say the labelling was fun though.
Need to do:
A list of important buildings
Border
Proper Title.
And finally it will be finished and I can have a life again. Don't want to map for awhile after this one's finished.
Haha, yeah these maps tend to suck the life out of you

I'm lucky my wife hasn't asked for a divorce....she's begining to mention it though! (j/k)...'quote 'Not that bloody map again' unquote.
The repetitive tune during labelling was 'One Night in Bangkok' from the musical 'Chess' - where the hell do these songs pop out from?

Here's the final version - ran out of energy and the last bits (frame and index etc) were rushed. But nothing left in the tank.
Duerma if you're reading this: Here's your map.

Haha, would be funny if Duerma totally forgot about this place, wouldn't it
(it doesn't take anything away from this map!)
