It's lookin good Larb.
I like how you do the semi dried up moats.

I have a feeling it's gonna be awesome but that's the vibe your maps usually send

[Larb]

I've been a bit busy but did work on this some more. It's mainly just finishing the details. And the wall. I just doooonnn't wanna draw all the crenelations.

[J.Edward]

I made a brush that is just a vertical line spaced so it will create the crenelation lines.
It's pretty easy to make, but I can share it if you want.

Hmm, i seem to be having some trouble with the abr file. :/

Edit - trying again...

[Larb]

Thanks, I'll give it a try. I'll probably leave the walls until last.

Hey Larb, this looks really cool so far!
Funny coincidence: I live close to the site of a roman castrum (outpost/fort) and your map looks really close to that

[Larb]

Yeah, Roman forts were an inspiration for this but also the reason why I made parts of it intentionally different. But while the central buildings are different, there are only so many ways to do "barracks" in an efficient manner. =P

[Rochnan]

Ah, yeah. Big neon signs pointing to an open gate covered in valuables would be different, but possibly less efficient
And for me, it's a big reason for why your map looks so good: it looks smart* and grounded in real life.

*I've seen real forts with paper-thin walls or big tactical problems in real life. Not smart, but actually real. Those nobles should've hired you instead!

[Larb]

I still have some bits to tidy up but for the most part the map is done and now I just need to put all the labels on it and things.

[ThomasR]

It is an astounding piece of work but I fear the grassland part is a bit monotonous at the moment. Maybe add a bit of texture as an overlay ?
