I believe it would be more strategic for residents to surround the oasis. In addition to the city being more protected, they could charge thirsty travelers more for water.

Very good start!

the stairs were the easiest solution considering that isometric cities do not have stairs (wood/stone). Perhaps the easiest thing for Sue Richard Darkland's Cliffs to match with the Temple of Bones (@EukalyptusNow ) stairs was the fact that they shared the similar color tone.

The dirty roads are from mike schley isometric city with edge fade inner and less inner opacity %. I thought about using barrels to decorate the markets, but proportionally they seemed too small and would pollute the image more than they would add detail value, so they were discarded.
