Please vote in the poll, if nothing else. I need to know how this map is being received.
Ok, so I'm giving a shot at Tar Valon, from the late Robert Jordan's the Wheel of Time. Yes, I know there are copyright issues. I will deal with them if this map really gets serious.
Here's the original map, next to my very first version:
If you looked at both maps, you can see clearly that I'm blatantly using the original to create my own. How observant of you
So these are my thoughts on gameplay: the territories on the walls will be Siege Towers, which will be able to attack (or maybe bombard) the villages on the same side of the river. The villages will be able to attack the harbors; the harbors will be able to attack each other. The White Tower will give a small bonus(probably +2), and be able to attack all Siege Towers. Ogier Grove may also give a small bonus. The bridges will likely be territories as well.
Latest version:
Territory Count: 39
To-Do:
-Make bridges
-Consider adding more territories
-Add in all army circles
-Consider making army circles smaller, or change borders, as things are gonna start to look cluttered.
-Make two more roads
-Receive advice!
Questions:
-The roads are intended as impassables, but obviously in some places that won't be the case. How should I show where there are connections?
-What should I do to free up some space?
-How should I name the territories within the city itself?
I'd also welcome tips on graphics, as I'm completely inexperienced. I'm using Photoshop 7.0, but I also have Gimp (which I have almost no idea how to use, but am willing to try).
The whole thing is awesome. I loved how much detail was in there and how intricate the whole thing was. It isn't his fault if you don't have an attention span. 
The idea is intriguing.
