Okay, have to say... and this is a bit of a surprise coming from me, but I do NOT like the new map.

There are some improvements, like the addition of the railroad lines, but overall the 'enhancements' are rather bad.

First off, Slaughterhouse Row.

I mean really? You're gonna haul whales upriver past FOUR bridges, including Kaldwin's Bridge, just to cut them up and process them?

And all that viscera, muck, and offal is going to be THAT close to the Office of the High Overseer without the Warfare Overseers raising a stink about it (and yes pun intended)?

And as others have pointed out, why is that separated so far from the refineries? You split up the whale, gather the oil... ship it back DOWN the river... refine it, then ship it back UP the river to use it to fuel the Sokolov machinery that gives you more whale oil? The extra stuff is lost by all the shipping you have to do. :/

Second, why the 90 degree change?

Was the Golden Cat always at the NORTH end of the river? THe N, NE, NW, etc all seem to indicate that the Golden Cat is now the northernmost point of the map and the bay leading to the Lighthouse is southernmost. I mean why have Kaldwin's Bridge have streets named North End and Southside Gate? They should be East End and Westside Gate.

Even the compass seems to indicate the left side of the map is now NORTH, unless somehow I have completely forgotten my cartography skills...

Poorly thought out retconning is poorly thought out... :/

Third, where is all the greenery?

I liked the parks, outlying farms and such from the old map... it gave the city a more organic feel. Now it's just a bunch of little blocks. UGGGGGHHHHHH

'''Fourth, SERIOUSLY? Dunwall's STILL not all fully mapped out?'''

What're the names of the other districts? Where's the Tailors' District? The Legal District? Fhavre Square? The Schauke Dockyards? Olkein Docks? The Guildsmen's Estates? Silverkiel Groves District? Old Patricians' Estates? Journeymen Row? The Rust District?

Where are these stupid walls that Emily supposedly past to go 'Outside the city walls'?

UGH!

I actually liked the old map better. :/

UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
