Creating a Map of Arabel (the city)
-
I'm going to make a library submission that includes a map of Arabel, as well as:
- Sewer Grates
- Shops (and a brief desc of their contents)
- Historical PoI
- Management/Nobility/Embassies
This means there's going to be 4 copies of a map. I just want to know if people would prefer the first or the second option.

Is this to help people direct themselves around the city? Personally always been more into the maps which are a little vague and not 100% life like so that it is a little more flexible for editing. But if it is for directions, 2nd one is good

The problem with non-specific maps is that they're not helpful.
People want to know where the closest sewer grate is. And which shops have what merchants. And how to actually get to the west gate, because you can't just follow the western wall from the south side of town.
The fact that the city shops shift is an issue, true, but I can also edit it as I go. The buildings are on a different layer than the city, which is on a different layer than the environment.
