Ok, this is the second tutorial by me, so if it is bad...I'm new! For this tutorial you'll need Hypershadow180's tall grass autotile:

Now go ahead and start a new map. Like always you see this:

Make a few not so neat paths(It is ruins after all!):

And Immediatly go to layer 2, where the grass autotile comes into play
Remember to make it nice and messy!:

Now for the buildings! Go on to layer 3. I've always done the front of my ruins first, but that is my personal opinion:
![](https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Faycu09.webshots.com%2Fimage%2F18328%2F2003067751655191449_th.jpg&hash=ecbe15a9ff2c3aee876f25ec62eeebd846186039)
Finish up the basic shapes of your buildings:

Now, start on the details, such as cracks in the building, breaks in the walls, all that good stuff:

We are in the last few stages of our ruins now. Go ahead and add some trees, use the layers to your advantage!:

The final step, the broken pots:

I hope this helped anyone out there with their mapping, and there will be another tutorial coming soon!
