Community Atlas - Artemisia - Elen Daelarion - Nimlenrion city (Renaissance style)

I have just rewatched Ralf's great video tutorial on the Par Lindstrom renaissance city style. I had started a city map in this style in August, but never got around to finishing it (I am Lord High Procrastinator - the character left out of The Mikado, because he arrived too late).
So, as I was inspired by the video, I rewatched it AND made the map of the city of Nimlenrion at the same time. It took me 2 hours - I just can't believe it. Without that video, it would have taken 5x longer, I am sure. Just as an aside, I used the straight wall sections as docks, and the ship is from Herman Weilink style - it sort of fitted, I thought.
Anyway, here is the map. Please let me know if anything needs to be changed. Otherwise, I will submit it to the Atlas on Monday.
Again, thanks to Ralf and Remy for their wonderful video tutorials, and Par for his wonderful style.

Ummm, the map, Quenten?
I can't see anything.
A larger map is in the gallery
It is a very beautiful style, isn't it :)
And a lovely map from it too!
It is a very lovely style.
Lovely map, but the text (anything not on the water) isn't very readable.
I didn't even notice the text on the buildings until I read your post. But I am tired this morning.
OK. I tried white with dark glow - it was worse. I might increase the white glow, unless you have a brilliant idea.
Is what we see in your map the default way to do text in the style? I can't remember off the top of my head (and I'm still only half awake - it being quite early here in the UK)
Map is now in the atlas. Thanks Quenten.
Yes. Is this better? I reduced the blur from 4 to 3, and increased opacity to 75%
Yes, that's a lot more visible.
I think the default settings are intended for smaller mapped areas shown at larger export sizes, if you see what I mean.
That's a really nice map Quenten. I agree that the text is much clearer in your new post.
You could tweak the scale symbol in the same way. ?
Man, I just checked out your gallery! That is a seriously impressive body of work mate.
Thank you, jm.
