There probably are suggestions in the dev thread that I didn't get time to incorporate. When I start the new suggestions thread I will list the ones I find in the top comment.

There may be cherry blossom trees in some of the free third party asset packs available - most likely Dundjinni or the CSUAC, which you can get to from the resources thread here:

And, depending on the scale, there are a couple of related Cartographer's Annual issues in the 2018 annual here. These are city scale styles, not dungeon scale, so the resolution is slightly less than half that of dungeon symbols. Although this can be balanced by the fact that most CC3 symbols have resolution ranges that vastly exceed those available in the free packs.

That looks good, Parsley :)

I agree with Remy - it's a good little map :)

If you export it as a jpeg of dimensions around 1-2000 on the longest side you should have more luck trying to upload it here.

Well, I interpreted it as a raised room with a raised platform on the other side, though I see that was wrong from the description now ;)

If I had read it properly in the first place I would have drawn the first 5 steps as patches of white covering the left end of the dungeon, rather than the right end of it. That would turn them the other way around.

And you're welcome. It pays to have a whole arsenal of possible solutions to a problem so that you can chose the best for the job, and the best one is not always the same one each time.

The wall reminds me of those medieval bridges with houses built on them.

And there is a house in Dordogne, France that was built on top of a sturdy wall in the 14th century, though I can't remember the reason. I think it was something to do with taxes at the time.

I'm envisioning something half way between run down and medieval apocalypse. It sounds like others may be thinking about more recent ages than me, so I'd better ask.

What ages are you all thinking of?

I think this is probably going to turn out to be one of the best city maps on the forum when it's done.

The fields look good to me :)

You could use the different shades of grass to increase the variation a bit if you don't want them all brown.

Hi Everyone! :)

In tomorrow's live mapping session Ralf will be creating a floorplan in the style used in the Cartographer's Annual 2007 "Gothic Cathedral" issue.

Come along and see how to use the style, and join in the chat.
