That is some hot work so far.

The biggest red should be some kind of port town and the southmost red spot should be a foresty area with some shack to rent boats and whatnot.

Thanks!1 I've labelled the image with referances to the red places.

There's a town above it and it's too close to add another town

I'm trying not too add any more forest areas as I think I've got enough.

Well, not really foresty but I mean...secluded you know? "Middle of no where" type of thing, kind of like Bargad's tutorial level from 2002.

Oooh I like that idea! I could probably add a mini statue area, park or something in the middle

Is it just me or does this map not make sense?

- Shouldn't snow be on the elevated parts of the island (assuming the white is a snow town)?
- Also it bothers me that the island has cliffs but all at a equal height (except that small section in the north). I would have added a mountain on the island itself.
- Below #4 the cliff splits away to a cave. That doesn't make any sense, it looks like the cliff either shrinks OR grows in height.

For my suggestions on what should be added, I'd like to see more forest. Maybe add a snow peak/town for #4. A small shop or couple houses for #5 (thinking witch's house or bandits?). #1 should be a town because you have a port there. #2 should be a wooded path, maybe with a forest town. Extend #3 and make a larger mountain range.

I think it looks great, and sometimes sense doesn't need to be applied.

Anyways, obviously you should dedicate a section to good ol' Dusty. But seriously... the top of the island mountain perhaps some sort of huge shrine.

Also, ruins are always great.

edit: oh, and why was I removed from Litter?

It's a small map so I'm trying not to add more areas with trees.

I just filled it with snow tiles to see how big the town would be, a guide to where towns are going to be. NOTE : NOT SEVERAL SNOW TOWNS!

Very nice suggestions, I'll be adding a few of them!

Yeah, Elizabeth suggested several statues be placed in an area. So I'll be adding some people!
