I haven't put any thought into the layout of this map yet, but i just started building, and i have a center courtyard area. I think it looks pretty cool and if i keep the level of detail i could have a really good looking level as a final result. But before i pursue making the rest of the map, i thought i'd throw it out here to see what you guys think. here are some screen shots.

I started with the center four pillars and just built from there. i used the textures themselves to inspire me to create the rest.
Any criticism is appreciated
