Edit Reason: Compressed the picture

I already have a thread about a map of the Asleep Universe. However, that thread is more focused on the big picture: it's about the kingdoms, and the universe as a whole. This thread is on a smaller scale: I'll be making plans of the towns and cities, and perhaps also some of the individual buildings.
To do this, I'll be using Townscaper. This is quite a simple city-building sandbox, that allows you to create your own city plans with fairly minimal effort. The only real downside is that, as far as I'm aware, it only has one architectural style (so these are probably going to end up looking a bit samey). However, it's a style that suits New Atlantis quite well - so, that's what I'm going to be starting with .
Here's what I've got for New Atlantis so far:
(Click to enlarge)
The key for this (and all future screenshots) is as follows:
As you can see, I don't have a whole lot yet. The castle itself is at the back of the picture - with one big tower, and several smaller ones surrounding it. The large building towards the bottom-left of the castle grounds is the barracks, and the green house just above that represents Conor's and Cheryl's treehouse. Outside the main gatehouse is a large market (which extends further out than what I've drawn so far), and just past that is the main carpenters' and blacksmiths' area. There are some houses, of course, but I haven't drawn those yet: they're all further out .
Hopefully, I'll have a finished version of New Atlantis before too long!

The key for this (and all future screenshots) is as follows:
- Normal commercial buildings (e.g. shops) are in yellow;
- Normal industrial buildings (e.g. workshops, forges) are in blue;
- Normal residential buildings (e.g. houses) are in red;
- Special buildings (e.g. castles, homes of important characters) will be in a variety of other colours.
