No, @Don Anderson Jr. I used black but with 25% transparency. I prefer to keep the rid a little as possible. When I have done the index, I remove the gridlines and just keep the numbers and letters on the frame (which I moved to a separate sheet with no transparency).

I will be making the education centre in the southern part of the centre, and the health sector in the southwestern area - then moving to the dockyards

Some progress

I am now doing another city (my favourite type of map) - the capital city of the Elven Queendom of Aillte-Lonrach. I will show it as I progress - almost finished the city centre.

The street layout i got by using the Watabou city layout, and The style I am using is a mix of SS5 and Watabou revised. And Shessar's magnificent compass and scales.

Here is the total city.

Here is a close up of the city centre. The text is deliberately small at this stage - more a reminder to me of the sort of buildings I need to put in.

After I finish the centre, I am going to concentrate on the dockside area.

Two Lavini (latinos) nations that are the centre of the slaving markets, capturing northern peoples and selling them to southern nations, despite the fact they themselves outlaws use of slaves in their own very capitalist (modern USA style, with less regulation) economy. The forms of government mimic medieval Venice and Genoa.
