This is great. I haven't used Texture Overblend much except when it was preset in a style. I'm going to practice with it -- I'm working on a castle that could use cliffs like that. Have you considered a slight Wall Shadow on the buildings?

I’ve done it with two sets of square grids and they line up automatically. I think they’ll line up automatically with hex grids if you get the ratio correct.

I suspect that CC4 is well beyond the wish list phase, but my wish list would be able to take oddly shaped polygons created with the polygon tools and fuse them together is a single entity so that they can then be filled with a fill that treats it seamlessly as a single shape. Some fills don’t matter — you can cobble bits together and never see the joins. But others, the joins are more apparent.

This is very cool and useful. Thank you for sharing!

I haven't had a chance to try Don's recommendation, as that takes a bit more than changing the fill style for the part that's behind the gray shading for the dome, but I have tried Sue's approach and I'm really happy with it. Right now, there's not much on this demo, but once I add a full fortress, we'll see whether the blurs slow things down too much.

I won't post all of the examples I tried. I did a lot, using fills from both Dungeons and Cities of Schley, DD3, Beaumaris Castle, and even Cosmographer just to see what it would look like with concrete and metal fills.

Here it is with a few Schley fills (the second one wouldn't work because it doesn't look like construction, but it does show the effectiveness of the technique):

I found that the best-looking fills were ones that had enough texture to hide the banding from the dome bands, but not so much texture that the doming effect was obscured. For the banding issue, that can be mitigated by reducing the opacity, but at the expense of losing some of the doming effect. Trade-offs! Here's an example using a 95% opacity versus a 50% opacity.

And it works with tiles and wood planks, too -- not suitable for what I'm designing, but useful to remember for future projects.

Here are my two favorites -- the second one isn't really suitable for this project, but looks really cool. Raw Granite, and Roof Lead, both from Beaumaris Castle.

And here's a quick mockup of how it might look with the rest of the roof. I added strips of the Stone Paving Brown on the edges of the barrel dome, for the part of the façade if you look at the source inspiration. This is just a sample -- the full roof will have towers, crenellations, a line down the barrel dome to show it's retractable, and more.
