Step 1: Paint out the grass tile on first layer.

Step 2: Make the outline of the top wall. this wall can be used as an entry wall or an exit wall LAYER 1
[spoiler][/spoiler]

Step 3:Now, Lay the top of walls using the auto tile shown, and make the sides, bottom of the town using closed into the walls. Remember to leave an opening at the bottom which can be used as an entry/exit to the town LAYER 1

Step 4: STOP HERE IF YOU DON' KNOW HOW TO MAKE A HOUSE USING THE TILESET.
Go here first: http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,13553.0.html

If you know how, or just learned continue to make the towns houses. This town will have some places major towns should have:
-Houses (Green)
-Shops (Red)
-INN  (Purple)
- Important place, such as a Mayor's house. (Yellow)

Step 5: Now go and make the path way of the town. LAYER 1

Step 6: Using different tiles, add life to the town (Windows, objects). LAYER 2, Street lights LAYER 3
[spoiler][/spoiler]

Step 7: Go and add grass shadow to well, the grass. LAYER 1
[spoiler][/spoiler]

Step 8: Now as you did in step 6 add MORE stuff to the town as a final touch to it. (plants and such)

Hey thanks. I forgot to add the colors next to what they are, but it's fixed now.

And ya that would be great if this was in the Database.

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.
"The Optimist believes that we live in the best possible world. The Pesimist fears this to be true."

Darico

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...

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