Hello! Today I would like to show you a map I made some years ago, It had potential but for some reason I abandoned it a long time ago.

Well to me, it looks very nice overall, but adding a few small details would take it to the next level. The style is nice, but adding some lighting effects would really improve the visual appeal of the game if asking me

would be better if the houses were scattered rather than organized and varied in size

The map is good but could do with improvements.
I think that the terrain colours should be adjusted, in my opinion the grass is a bit too bright and does not contrast that well with the trees. Variety in materials would add to the area as well, the paths are good but maybe some sand around the bodies of water or adding rocks to the landscape.
Some more varied elevation of terrain would work nice throughout the housing area would add some extra detail, small hills.
With the buildings, I see that the towers by the walls seem to be of different scales, I’d recommend instead using different types of towers as otherwise this just looks unnatural: some being taller with more windows, for example.
One final thing as Kopenhag mentioned would be yes, lighting. Atmosphere effects and sunrays could make a big effect.
Hope this reply finds you well.

Thanks! I wanted to know how good I used to be back then, I understand the issues and appreciate people pointing them out.
Let me be completely honest, the towers were only poorly scaled because I was too lazy to design the city at the background, so I decided to randomly place some towers there just so it doesn’t look empty.
I can’t really say much about the rest, I completely agree and see how much could this map improve, years have passed since I did this map and I may have better skills now, but it never hurts to learn as much as possible from previous projects! 
Have a good day!
