Start a new map:
42x34 , Use "Castle Town" defult tileset.

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

Spoiler for:

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 for:

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

Spoiler for:

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 7: Go and add grass shadow to well, the grass. LAYER 1

Hope you enjoyed this tut. Please leave feedback in this topic.

I like! I Like! lol. One question: Why are there boxes around the houses in the pic of Step4? Otherwise another lovly tutorial. I vote for a database move. lol.

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.

Ok, cool! Makes sence now!

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!"

Good job Nouman.

Thanks Zeriab 

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
