Not bad, but I felt it could use more detail.

Also, the empty space on the walls doesn't look right, maybe put a few guards and some barracks stuff up there.

yea, but I never use my tuts to go into eventing..Maybe I should, but thats why I left the end note:

"Using events add doors, people, animals to make this map look realistic!"

This is nice.  It's rare to see a mapping tutorial on here that actually gives players enough room to move about.  Most are too constricting.  Very well done.

I have to agree with AiR; people are so worried about open space now that the players dont have enought room to move about

There should be a sub forum for you're mapping tuts, they are one of the best eva! Thanks for spending your time to teach us and some guests how to map...

If you're wondering whats with the attitude, I thought it would be nice to show some appreciation  ;8

Necroposting's not usually a good way to start off, Twesterm.
