Not much there, but they hope to expand later on into a city. A combination of CC3 filled City symbols and CSUAC symbols. The toll gate, upper left and lower right, I came up with is a default.fsc CC3 filled CC3 house symbol for cities and a CSUAC barrier. The borders are from a CC3 symbol set. I tried to do drop shadows... but they either didn't show well, or the symbols looked like they were floating in ther air.

Shadow, with sun direction. The small brown rectangles in the park are benches I made for a symbol contest years ago. The benches, and symbols for Drive-In movie theaters, are on my site.
Add a bit of shadow to the bushes/trees.
Now they seem kinda flat.
I like the idea about different symbol layers, but am curious what symbol flat would be used for?
Like carpets, they have to stay FLAT on the floor.
Unless of course you have a flying carpet, but thats a different story.
Of course...I find that I'm becoming increasingly neurotic with all this stuff...so feel free to not get into that kind of detail.
I do have the training ground and the compass on their own layer so they won't have shadows.
And thanks for the comments !
I have one small suggestion, if I may. Use a slight glow on the roads instead of an outline. They would blend together better, yet still give the effect of making them stand out.
I think the lettering has something like a glow on them... and I don't remember doing that. I could have selected something without realizing it.
I'll check into the road idea. Thanks Shessar.
correction: bitmap fill with black outline.
