1. Top screen shows having a ladder down behind the counter, doesnt have to go anywhere just shows that the shop keeper may have a stock room or somin.
   
2. Second one is the NPCs house, remember to lock the door so people can't actually get in that area.
   
3. Third is a stall have them at the side of the road have a NPC selling minor goods, not like a massive shop.
   
4. Fourth, Half tables - the massive wooden tables sometimes take up to much space so use half of one, use them on south and east walls so the other half is "obstructed".

On the higher levels of mountains you tend to have use the flat walls to have a good effect, but they occasionally look a bit boring, so you use water fall rocks on these walls to give a bit of texsture you dont want to over do it though, heres what i mean:


Arrows just dont have to go into targets, adds a bit of spice to ya hunter spawns. Here ive also made it go into a blood splat in the wall where this wolf has died

Tree houses:


Fireflies: (ID6491, 6495)


Use plants (ID 5557 - ID 5564) and stones to decorate caves:


Use leafs on counters and bars for an elf style

Description in screenshot,

Well, i'm going pretty mad on everyone saying some of the snow-to-water-borders(6675-6682) is missing.
Solution:

Black: Where the borders are(4744, 4738, 4739, 6675-6682)
Red: 4744
Green: 4738
Grey: 4739

First of all, I would like to advice people to use several kinds of floors, since it's a great way of filling out unfilled areas, also it makes the map look abit more advanced and detailed (In my opinion, that is).


Other then that I would also advice people to start using differnt types of roofs aswell, it makes the roof look abit older, and that it has been repaired once or several times. Oh and don't do this on every single roofs.

Idea of using crack id 6285 - 6299

Fixed up a bit by Mmb

Here are some pictures of Legendaria rookgaard - Flantania Isle.
Legendaria rookgaard was mapped by me.

Equipment shop and a random house (nobody can enter it). Note: In cities remember to add some buildings that looks like someone lives there but cannot enter to make it look like a city.


Rat caves. Pay attention to the detail, and be sure to spice up your caves with water features, and mixed grounds!


Hidden area between the mountains.


Flantania Temple, built on a mountain. Make sure not to make your temples too large - Nice and simple is always good, but dont forget to make them unique and always add detail!


The inside of the temple.

I played around with the new sprites and came up with this idea:
Ice on trees. Make sure it fits the tree and don't use it too often and too much!

You might want to spice up your steep mountain walls, by adding trees that are actually meant for the making of treehouses. (IDs 6182-6189)
