Population:....Mixed humanoid, app. 25,000

More like population:.... Mixed humanoid, undetermined amount. Or just Population: undetermined. It's a mistake to try and control too many variables in these projects. I know it's tempting, but it leads nowhere. Aiming for various accuracies is fine up until it becomes boring. And for some people that occurs sooner than others. Which is why it is generally a better idea to leave the project loose and allow people more reign in what happens in their area.

For instance if the population was really 25,000 and there are more than 27 neighborhoods, each would contain less than a thousand people. Say four to a family that is 231 living spaces, which in a modern setting could be in one single building. In ancient terms it's an entire city, but ancient cities are also physically tiny, ie the ruins of Jericho could entirely fit within area #1 of that map.

Trumpet fanfares... big brass bands... cheering crowds... confetti raining down from the sky...

I love this city already!

Thanks for giving us our very own space Redrobes.

Excellent
Thanks Red

edit - still finalizing some roads and such

Sorry I didn't understood the scale of the whole city...
is it complicated to go back to your 1st version ?

No.

Looking at where we are on the Guild map we seem to be just a little south of the equator, so don't hold out your hopes for massive forests to work with (thomrey will be relieved about that I expect), because the tropics are prime sites for deserts - especially inland.

There is apparently a forest along the eastern wall, number 21 and 22.

[J.Edward]

That forest area was just a suggestion when i sketched it - not a hard rule.

Great point - will update immediately

Its always going to be difficult to achieve the balance of having enough information, and not having enough, but I like that you tell me when its wrong

And maybe in the future the city has a really strong historical society, that holds tight sway over places like the castle/stronghold only allowing minor alterations. Sorry I know that is kind of off topic but it's fun to theorize ��

Theorising is the root of all great dreams.

Just logged into the guild server to fix up some WIP scraping magic for the new sub forum here and had a look at the code which runs the zoom map. Discovered I had the wrong URL for the first cwbp so have a lookie at this link:

https://www.cartographersguild.com/l...php?type=cwbp1

and go to Ansium and click on the little icon on the name. Then find the same icon in my patch which is coord 2,2 from the top left and keep jumping down layers.

This is what I had in mind for the sewer or regional linking.

Oh my! That must have taken you a lifetime to map!

But its very cool
