Hi there, I'm working on making a city/town for my map but I can't think of a design or where to place by buildings. Any suggests would greatly help me, Thanks.

My idea so far....

Landcape:
Tilesets from Lordaeron Summer, Cityscape, Dalaran and Village.
- Square city
- Stone Walls around the city
- Stone Gate maybe 1-4 enterences
- Round tiles for the road (path ways)
- Brick for everything else
- Dark green around buildings

Buildings:
- Barracks (for training skills)
- Castle (not for anything yet)
- Blacksmith (for weapons and armors)
- Arcane Sanctum (for magic items and stuff

Other buildings may be adding later:
- Trading hall
- Craftsman hall
- Houses

id say stacking buildings is the most important part of building a city

I made a city a long while ago. You can download it and see the terrain here. There's also more map downloads in this thread.

I find making a plan of the city on paper helps a ton. Helps to get your thoughts organized.

Also, sticking with a centeral idea helps too. Like building out from around a castle or building in from a city wall.


Lastly, stick to a main theme. If its a human city, don't put orc stuff in it.
(I know this is pretty much a given)

Good luck on your city.
