Thanks, ericgolf. I debated whether or not I should have added snow into the map, but I decided to wait until I'm done with the story and fully testing it before I add additional scenery objects. I ended up using the 1,000 stones throughout the map anyway, so all I would have to do is add the water.
I'm rather skeptical about the bottom level of the castle. It seemed bland.

I looked, and I found that fence-less cow farms topic. I had never known that existed. I'll see what I can do with something like that.

Incredible landscaping and I like all those custom walls and towers a lot too! Have you considered adding some water like a river or lake perhaps? It might give the map a more 'open' overall feel.

Thank you for your compliment, Lord Ako. I had thought about adding a water feature, but from past experiences and experiments, I have never been able to make a decent-looking river. Primarily, the water flow always seemed unnatural.

All right. Thanks for the information. I'll see what I can do about it, but I will most likely omit adding a stream into the map.

Thanks, Captain Diablo. Frankly, I think if I removed the "min-height" part of the castle, I could add some scenery details around it and it would look better that way, but I have already gone through testing and everything else.
As for the river or stream, I agree that it would make the map look better and more realistic. I even have a path idea, but when it came down to it, I have a big issue with making it seem to flow naturally. I tried to make it wind and twist, but it always looked strange, so I don't know what to do about it.

Can you maybe use moat with wheat farms to look like irrigation maybe? On that min. height bit I mean.

All right. Thanks for the help everyone! I've submitted the file and am currently waiting for approval.
