While all that sounds nice, you will always get people who are sticklers for extreme detail and wont be merely satifisfied by generic towns. Just be prepared for a bit of criticism when your maps hit the downloads section. You cant please every one, and that sucks

I approve your method, and in many ways many things that I have done with the Slot reflect what you propose. Believe me, the law of least effort is something that I adopt wllingly. Many of my villages that I have placed on the islands are generic groupings that I rotate to suit texture orienation and the shape of the land.
