Bird's eye view

So what's this then?

Everyone (?) knows that cities in Quest can have up to five suburbs, but have you ever tried visualizing them? Well, a couple of years back I did, and drew a little map. It has been gathering digital dust for a while, but recently (spring 99) I found it on the hard disk of my old computer while I was looking for some other Quest related files. (Yes, I found them too!)
So I looked at the old thing and said to myself, why not make it into a GIF and put it on the web? As you can tell from the fact that it appears here, I could not find an answer to that Quest-ion (i.e. why not). To see the full size map just click on the small one.

Some explanation of the colours used:

Gray - open
Black - towers/walls/fences
Yellow - gates in the walls
White - smaller gates in the fences
Green - gardens
Light blue - North suburb
Dark blue - East suburb
Yellow - South suburb
Dark green - North suburb
Red - Centre suburb

That thing in the middle of the red suburb is supposed to be a fountain, and the four big houses around it presumably belong to the city leaders.

In case anyone should be crazy enough to link to this little page and want a graphic link to boot, here's an even smaller version of the map. Just copy to your own site and do the usual link stuff. If you want something more useful try linking to my mapping site instead!
