This is my first upload to Aok heaven and I am just looking for feedback on my design skills.
The map is a 30X30 map with a road going past a frozen lake to a town atop a hill/cliffs.
This is heavily influenced by Mr Mustache's Winter in Ollis go check out his map.
It's a nice start! The wintry countryside coupled with the fortified city go well together. I like the forest, the villager fishing from the pond through the ice and the palisade walls marking sections in the city. However it's a little hard to judge on such a small map. The next step would be to increase the map size to even just 100 x 100, which is still small enough to start out on but big enough where you can afford to showcase more of the design you're looking to depict. One last thing is to rename the buildings and units to bring realism to the city. City's can be made up of all sorts of sections, and you could try your hand at a market, the city garrison, an upper class area and even a slum. For inspiration, you could try going through the Showcase Scenarios category. Anything by Julius999 is worth having a look at for city designs.

Aethelflaed is unfortunately on hold at the moment, although I have made a fair amount of progress on it. Hopefully when I've completed another project I am currently working on I can move back onto that!
