  Taking a quick look at SS4, there does not seem to be anything for ice or snow. You can use VC, but that is it.

  Next, the symbols all see very 'western' in style. Perhaps adding some interior items that reflect Middle Easter or East Asia would be nice. It certain fits with some of the overland city styles.

  I suppose items suitable for something more modern like Call of Cthulhu could be helpful

  I am so glad you asked, because you know I've been keeping lists! You can check out some of my ideas in this thread, but here's a recap of some highlights:

  Interior

  • Thrones - Ornate metal and stone; "elven" (wooden with art nouveau flourishes); "evil" (skulls, spikes, etc.)
  • Regalia - Crowns; scepters; orbs
  • Couches - Both "regular" and Roman-style (I think SS4 only has chairs that I make extra wide for couches)
  • Mage/Sage Furnishings - Globes, astrolabes
  • Ornate Staircases - Maybe modular so you can construct your own (left, right, and center for bottom, middle, and top, in stone and wood, with and without varicolor carpeting)
  • Musical Instruments - Upright and on their side (lutes, harps, harpsichords, drums)
  • Ancient Tombs - Think Indiana Jones-style stuff, like idols

  Exterior

  • Gardens - Varicolor flowers, rose bushes, berry bushes, exotic/carnivorous plants
  • Tiltyard - Quintain, pell, horse armor
  • Topiary - Bushes trimmed to form the shape of animals and mythical creatures
  • Statues - Riding and standing free. Royalty plus archetypical character types (sword fighters, archers, mages)

  Building Construction

  • Flagpoles - Upright and on their side, separate from flags for flexibility
  • Flags - Varicolor top-down and on their side
  • Gargoyles and Grotesques
  • Clocktower - Clock hands on side of building; bells for belltower
  • Spires
  • Façade Ornamentation - I don't know the proper term, but here are some pics I took to illustrate

  I think buildings are still a bit lacking in the cities. Specific oriental, Greco-Roman, African and Meso-American buildings would be a great addition to the collection.

  
  

  As for the floorplan, battlemap, dungeon:

  Library, Church (more variety of statues and idols).

  Loose items: Weapons and armor, robes, staffs, bows, etc.

  More decorative elements for gardens and squares, flowers

  Casino and gambling items

  Ruins and rubble

  Graves, tombstones, ruined temples, shrines

  Image patches with different ground textures like Sue did in forest trail

  Roots and vines

  Rope bridge

  Tents and huts

  Ruined stairs

  More floor symbols, whether sacred or cursed (circular, triangular, loose runes, etc.).

  Craters

  Sleeping bag

  Luxury furniture
