So I had started out trying to make this with the CD3 style only. It was not working for me. I felt so restricted in my choices i was pulling my hair out. Goddess bless you guys that can stick to one style So, of course, this is done with CD3 and all the freebees....CSUAC, Dundjinni, Bogie's, and Sue's Atlas Trees. I did, stick with the core CD3 bitmap fills, though There's that, lol!

The variation in the trees and bushes adds a lot to this, and I love the various paths and high-traffic areas around the buildings and such. (Plus the ruins are a neat touch.)
What a wonderful little map. *doffs cap*
Maybe the trees are a little bit dominant, but I expect as you work on it your wonderful instincts will strengthen the colour and contrast in the rest of the map - or reduce it in the trees
Handy tip (if you're interested): some symbols (and I think the trees are no exception) will respond to some of the sheet effects as long as you use a transparency effect set to 99% opacity on them first. Its not perfect (it really messes with shadows and glows), but that way you can change colours, make them darker/lighter, etc.
And while this map is not part of the contest, remember that the voting for best map is still going on, so if you haven't done so yet, don't forget to vote.
